Real persistent storage guarantees that result of Seek is sorted
by keys. The idea of optimisation is to merge two sorted seek
results into one (memStore+persistentStore), so that
(*MemCachedStore).Seek will return sorted list. The only thing
that remains is to sort items got from (*MemoryStore).Seek.
MemoryStore is used in a MemCachedStore as a persistent layer in tests.
Further commits suppose that persistent storage returns sorted values
from Seek, so sort the result of MemoryStore.Seek.

In N3 no arguments passed should be treated as empty arguments array not as
missing array of arguments, because the array must be present even for
functions that accept no parameters.
Our current algorithm marks function as used if it is called
at least ones, even if the callee function is itself unused.

(*Billet).Traverse changes:
1. Get rid of the `offset` argument. We can cut `from` and pass just the
part that remains. This implies that node with path matching `from` will
also be included in the result, so additional check needs to be added to
the callback function.
2. Pass `path` and `from` without search prefix. Append prefix to the
result inside the callback.
3. Remove duplicating code.
(*Trie).Find changes:
1. Properly prepare `from` argument for traversing function. It closly
depends on the `path` argument.
Because `MaxKeySize` is bigger than integer size, we fail on integer
cast while retreiving items from map. SETITEM is not affected.

Instead of flushing everything to `cache` and then to `bc.dao`, wrap `bc.dao`
directly for block/tx data and AERs and then flush to it. Block/transactions
are usually processed more quickly than other components, so they easily end
up in `cache` where they directly affect Seek performance for any executing
transaction.
Simple as it is this change improves voter NEO transfer benchmark with 1000
accounts by more than 25%, from ~18500 TPS to ~23500 TPS. It doesn't affect
much other cases.
GAS can only be distributed once in a block for particular address, so it
makes little sense trying to calculate it again and again. This fixes
neo-bench for NEO voter, because without it we get ~2500 TPS for
single-address test and with it it jumps 13-fold to normal values like
~33500.
We need to store NEO balance's LastUpdateHeight before GAS mint,
because mint can call onNEP17Payment and onNEP17Payment can call NEO
transfer which also calls GAS mint. Storing balance height allows to
avoid recursion.
`StateRootInHeader` is duplicated similarly to `Network`.
It will be removed in future as it is surely a protocol parameter.

We need to copy the result of `TryGet` method, otherwice the slice can
be modified inside `Add` or `Update` methods, which leads to
inconsistent MPT pool state.
We need several stages to manage state jump process in order not to mess
up old and new contract storage items and to be sure about genesis state data
are properly removed from the storage. Other operations do not require
separate stage and can be performed each time `jumpToStateInternal` is
called.
We don't need this method to be exposed, the only its user is the
StateSync module. At the same time StateSync module manages its state by
itself which guarantees that (*Blockchain).jumpToState will be called
with proper StateSync stage.
State jump should be an atomic operation, we can't modify contract
storage items state on-the-fly. Thus, store fresh items under temp
prefix and replase the outdated ones after state sync is completed.

Before state sync process can be started, outdated MPT nodes
should be removed from storage. After state sync is completed,
outdated blocks/transactions/AERs should also be removed.
In this commit:
1. Request unknown MPT nodes from peers. Note, that StateSync module itself
shouldn't be responsible for nodes requests, that's a server duty.
2. Do not request the same node twice, check if it is in storage
already. If so, then the only thing remaining is to update refcounter.
MPT restore process is much simpler then regular MPT maintaining: trie
has a fixed structure, we don't need to remove or rebuild MPT nodes. The
only thing we should do is to replace Hash nodes to their unhashed
counterparts and increment refcount. It's better not to touch the
regular MPT code and create a separate structure for this.
C# node does not return empty proof enymore in case if path is bad. C#
node also throws an exception on bad Put.
Our node does not return an error on delete if the key is empty.
Allow it for (*Trie).Put. And distinguish empty value and nil value for
(*Trie).PutBatch, because batch is already capable of handling both nil
and empty value. For (*Trie).PutBatch putting nil value means deletion,
while putting empty value means just putting LeafNode with an empty
value.

Go 1.15 provides native (*ecdsa.PublicKey).Equal method, but we can't drop our
own Equal because the types are different and there is still code using our
Equal (forcing it to convert types is counterproductive), while changing
(*PublicKey).Equal to use (*ecdsa.PublicKey).Equal internally with some kind of
(*ecdsa.PublicKey)(p).Equal((*ecdsa.PublicKey)(key))
slows it down:

We're using batches in wrong way during persist, we already have all changes
accumulated in two maps and then we move them to batch and then this is
applied. For some DBs like BoltDB this batch is just another MemoryStore, so
we essentially just shuffle the changeset from one map to another, for others
like LevelDB batch is just a serialized set of KV pairs, it doesn't help much
on subsequent PutBatch, we just duplicate the changeset again.
So introduce PutChangeSet that allows to take two maps with sets and deletes
directly. It also allows to simplify MemCachedStore logic.

VM always has istack and it doesn't even change, so doing this microallocation
makes no sense. Notice that estack is a bit harder to change we do replace it
in some cases and we compare pointers to it as well.
It requires only two methods from Blockchainer: AddBlock and
BlockHeight. New interface will allow to easily reuse the block queue
for state exchange purposes.

On a network with 4 CNs and 1 RPC node there is 1/256 probability that a block
won't be broadcasted to RPC node, so it won't see it until ping timeout kicks
in. While it doesn't see a block it can't accept new incoming transactions so
the bench gets stuck basically. To me that's an acceptable trade-off because
normal networks are much larger than that and the effect of this patch is way
more important there, but still that's what we have and we need to take into
account.
send() can return errStateMismatch, errGone and errBusy. errGone means the
peer is dead and it won't ever be active again, it doesn't make sense retrying
sends to it. errStateMismatch is technically "not yet ready", but we can't
wait for it either, no one knows how much will it take to complete
handshake. So only errBusy means we can retry.
So keep track of dead peers and adjust tries counting appropriately.
It doesn't change much, we can't magically get more valid peers and if some
die while we're iterating we'd detect that by an error returned from send().
When transaction spreads through the network many nodes are likely to get it
in roughly the same time. They will rebroadcast it also in roughly the same
time. As we have a number of peers it's quite likely that we'd get an Inv with
the same transaction from multiple peers simultaneously. We will ask them for
this transaction (independently!) and again we're likely to get it in roughly
the same time. So we can easily end up with multiple threads processing the
same transaction. Only one will succeed, but we can actually easily avoid
doing it in the first place saving some CPU cycles for other things.
Notice that we can't do it _before_ receiving a transaction because nothing
guarantees that the peer will respond to our transaction request, so
communication overhead is unavoidable at the moment, but saving on processing
already gives quite interesting results.

Most of the time on healthy network we see new transactions appearing that are
not present in the mempool. Once they get into mempool we don't ask for them
again when some other peer sends an Inv with them. Then these transactions are
usually added into block, removed from mempool and no one actually sends them
again to us. Some stale nodes can do that, but it's not very likely to
happen.
At the receiving end at the same time it's quite expensive to do full chain
HasTransaction() query, so if we can avoid doing that it's always good. Here
it technically allows resending old transaction that will be re-requested and
an attempt to add it to mempool will be made. But it'll inevitably fail
because the same HasTransaction() check is done there too. One can try to
maliciously flood the node with stale transactions but it doesn't differ from
flooding it with any other invalid transactions, so there is no new attack
vector added.

Network communication takes time. Handling some messages (like transaction)
also takes time. We can share this time by making handler a separate
goroutine. So while message is being handled receiver can already get and
parse the next one.
It doesn't improve metrics a lot, but still I think it makes sense and in some
scenarios this can be more beneficial than this.

We use them quite frequently (consider children for a new branch
node) and it is better to get rid of unneeded allocations.

`WriteArray` involves reflection, it makes sense to optimize
serialization of transactions and application logs which are serialized
constantly. Adding case in a type switch in `WriteArray` is not an
option because we don't want new dependencies for `io` package.

We know it already, but with current loading code VM will hash it once
more. It doesn't help a lot and still it costs nothing to avoid this
overhead.

ReadArray() can return some error and we shouldn't overwrite it. At the same
time limiting ReadArray() to the number of Signers can make it return wrong
error if the number of witnesses actually is bigger than the number of
signers, so use MaxAttributes.
We burn GAS in OnPersist for every transaction so some buffer reuse here is
quite natural.
This also doesn't change a lot in the overall TPS picture, maybe adding some
1%.
Which duplicates the check, but deduplicates error path. This check forced
double balance deserialization which is quite costly operation, so we better
do it once.
It's hardly noticeable as of TPS metrics though, maybe some 1-2%%.
Persist by its definition doesn't change MemCachedStore visible state, all KV
pairs that were acessible via it before Persist remain accessible after
Persist. The only thing it does is flushing of the current set of KV pairs
from memory to peristent store. To do that it needs read-only access to the
current KV pair set, but technically it then replaces maps, so we have to use
full write lock which makes MemCachedStore inaccessible for the duration of
Persist. And Persist can take a lot of time, it's about disk access for
regular DBs.
What we do here is we create new in-memory maps for MemCachedStore before
flushing old ones to the persistent store. Then a fake persistent store is
created which actually is a MemCachedStore with old maps, so it has exactly
the same visible state. This Store is never accessed for writes, so we can
read it without taking any internal locks and at the same time we no longer
need write locks for original MemCachedStore, we're not using it. All of this
makes it possible to use MemCachedStore as normally reads are handled going
down to whatever level is needed and writes are handled by new maps. So while
Persist for (*Blockchain).dao does its most time-consuming work we can process
other blocks (reading data for transactions and persisting storeBlock caches
to (*Blockchain).dao).
The change was tested for performance with neo-bench (single node, 10 workers,
LevelDB) on two machines and block dump processing (RC4 testnet up to 62800
with VerifyBlocks set to false) on i7-8565U.

It obviously uses more memory now and utilizes CPU more aggressively, but at
the same time it allows to improve all relevant metrics and finally reach a
situation where we process 50K transactions in less than second on Ryzen 9
5950X (going higher than 25K TPS). The other observation is much more stable
block time, on Ryzen 9 it's as close to 1 second as it could be.
Block processing consists of:
* saving block/transactions to the DB
* executing blocks/transactions
* processing notifications/saving AERs
* updating MPT
* atomically updating Blockchain state
Of these the first one is completely independent of others, it can be done in
a separate routine easily. The third one technically depends on the second,
it just doesn't have data until something is executed. At the same time it
doesn't affect future executions in any way, so we can offload
AER/notification processing to separate goroutine (while the main thread
proceeds with other transactions).
MPT update depends on all executions, so it can't be offloaded, but it can be
done concurrently to AER processing. And only the last thing actually needs
all previous ones to be finished, so it's a natural synchronization point.
So we spawn two additional routines and let the main one execute transactions
and update MPT as fast as it can. While technically all of these routines
could share single DAO (they are working with different KV sets) benchmarking
shows that using separate DAOs and then persisting them to lower one actually
works about 7-8%% better. At the same time we can simplify DAOs used, Cached
one is only relevant for AER processing because it caches NEP-17 tracking
data, everything else can do just fine with Simple.
The change was tested for performance with neo-bench (single node, 10 workers,
LevelDB) on two machines and block dump processing (RC4 testnet up to 50825
with VerifyBlocks set to false) on i7-8565U. neo-bench creates huge blocks
with lots of transactions while RC4 dump mostly consists of empty blocks.

On Ryzen 9 we've got 12% better RPS, 13% better TPS with 12% CPU and 3% RAM
more used. Core i7-8565U changes don't seem to be statistically significant:
1.8% more RPS, 1.6% more TPS with about the same CPU and 8.5% less RAM
used. It also is 1% worse in DB restore time.
The result is somewhat expected, on a powerful machine with lots of spare
cores we get 10%+ better results while on average resource-constrained laptop it
doesn't change much (the machine is already saturated). Overall, this seems to
be worthwhile.
If wallet size decreases, we need to remove trailing garbage if it
exists. This can happen when removing account or reading pretty-printed
wallet. It doesn't affect our CLI (we decode only file prefix), but
it is nice to always have a valid JSON file.

Request NEP17 balances from a set of NEP17 contracts instead of getting
them from storage. LastUpdatedBlock tracking remains untouched, because
there's no way to retrieve it dynamically.
Balances are to be removed from state.NEP17TransferInfo, so the remnant
fields are NextTransferBatch, NewBatch and a map of LastUpdatedBlocks.
These fields are more staff-related.
Also rename dao.[Get, Put, put]NEP17Balances and STNEP17Balances
preffix.
Also rename NEP17TransferInfo.Trackers to LastUpdatedBlockTrackers
because NEP17TransferInfo.Balances are to be removed.
So use base64 too and add compatibility test. Unfortunately this breaks
support for old (hex-based) files, but those should be completed a long time
ago.
We're only using queue library and it didn't change in any way, but 1.0.53 has
proper go.mod, so it's still an improvement.
It at the same time pulls some new packages also like x/tools.
It was broken somewhere between 2f490a3403 and
