https://github.com/nspcc-dev/neo-go/pull/2435 breaks compatibility
between newer RPC clients and older RPC servers with the following
error:
```
failed to get network magic: json: cannot unmarshal string into Go struct field Protocol.protocol.initialgasdistribution of type int64
```
This behaviour is expected, but we can't allow this radical change.
Thus, the following solution is implemented:
1. RPC server responds with proper non-stringified
InitialGasDistribution value. The value represents an integral
of fixed8 multiplied by the decimals.
2. RPC client is able to distinguish older and newer responses. For
older one the stringified value without decimals part is
expected. For newer responses the int64 value with decimal part
is expected.
The cludge will be present in the code for a while until nodes of
version <=0.98.3 become completely absolete.
It's not network-tied any more, network is only needed to
sign/verify. Unfortunately we still have to keep network in consensus data
structures because of dbft library interface.
1. Initialization is performed via `Blockchain` methods.
2. Native Oracle contract updates list of oracle nodes
and in-fly requests in `PostPersist`.
3. RPC uses Oracle module directly.
Prices are defined in as a coefficients to `BaseExecFee` which
is defined by Policy contract (TBD later).
Native method prices are defined without need to multiply.
If port is dynamically allocated, `(*Server).Addr` will contain
0 port. This commit executes listener before exiting from `Start()`
and sets Addr to the actual address.
Time is not really relevant for us here and we don't use this timestamp in any
way. Yet it occupies 24 bytes and we do two clock_gettime calls to get it.
Replace it with blockStamp which is going to be used in the future for
transaction retransmissions.
It allows to improve single-node TPS by another 3%.
There is no such thing as high/low priority transactions, as there are
no free transactions anymore and they are ordered by fees contained
in transaction itself.
Closes#1063.
We make it explicit in the appropriate Block/Transaction structures, not via a
singleton as C# node does. I think this approach has a bit more potential and
allows better packages reuse for different purposes.
Note that the protocol differs a bit from #895 in its notifications format,
to avoid additional server-side processing we're omitting some metadata like:
* block size and confirmations
* transaction fees, confirmations, block hash and timestamp
* application execution doesn't have ScriptHash populated
Some block fields may also differ in encoding compared to `getblock` results
(like nonce field).
I think these differences are unnoticieable for most use cases, so we can
leave them as is, but it can be changed in the future.
It will be important for proper subscription testing and it doesn't hurt even
though technically we've got two http servers listening after this change (one
is a regular Server's http.Server and one is httptest's Server). Reusing
rpc.Server would be nice, but it requires some changes to Start sequence to
start Listener with net.Listen and then communicate back its resulting
Addr. It's not very convenient especially given that no other code needs it,
so doing these changes just for a bit cleaner testing seems like and
overkill.
Update config appropriately. Update Start comment along the way.
