Copying just the scope doesn't work for CustomContracts, CustomGroups and
Rules because they all contain additional metadata. Thanks @mialbu for
reporting this.
b9be892bf9 has made Persist asynchronous which
is very effective in allowing the system to continue processing
blocks/transactions while flushing things to disk. It at the same time is very
dangerous in that if the disk is slow and it takes much time to flush KV set
(more than persisting interval), there might be even bigger new KV set in
MemCachedStore by the time it finishes. Even if the system immediately starts
to flush this new data set it (being bigger) can take more time than the
previous one. And while doing so a new data set will appear in memory,
potentially again bigger than this.
So we can easily end up with the system going out of control, consuming more
and more memory and taking more and more time to persist a single set of
data. To avoid this we need to detect such condition and just wait for Persist
to really finish its job and release the resources.
N3 contracts require method and array of arguments to function correctly, but
CreateFunctionInvocationScript can produce scripts that won't work correctly
if one is to pass anything but a single array parameter to it. This doesn't
make much sense, so we can always expect there to be an array of parameters in
the third positional invokefunction argument (the same way C# node does).
Everywhere it matters (and that's callExFromNative() now) it's incremented
already, so when we're doing Call() at the same time (and it's done to invoke
`_initialize` method) we're effectively double-incrementing it.
Standards are NEP-11 and NEP-17, not NEP11, not NEP17, not anything
else. Variable/function names of course can use whatever fits, but documents
and comments should be consistent wrt this.
Oracle responses must use the same set of signers as oracle requests even
though the transaction itself is signed by oracle nodes/contract.
We can probably improve interop.Context by removing Tx field completely and
adding more functionality to Container, but it's not very convenient for
VerifyWitness and will require adding more stub-like methods for Block, so Tx
is used for now (and we do have it in every relevant case).
I don't think it's possible with regular service functioning, but it happens
during testing because of pointer reuse:

See neo-project/neo#2622. The implementation is somewhat asymmetric (and not
very efficient) for binary/JSON encoding/decoding, but it should be
sufficient.
Sometimes user needs to construct transaction by itself, so it's better
to unify nonce sources for auto-generated and manually-generated
transactions to avoid nonce collisions in tests.
Eventually this will be replaced by `pkg/neotest` invocations but for
now it allows us to remove NNS constants together with the tests.

Implementing a separate `Signer` interface is beneficial in multiple
ways:
1. Support both single and multiple transaction witnesses.
2. It should be easy to add contract signer this way.
Tests should use accounts created with `NewAccount` so hiding all
details doesn't seem to be an issue.

Use circular buffer which is a bit more appropriate. The problem is that
priority queue accepts and stores equal items which wastes memory even in
normal usage scenario, but it's especially dangerous if the node is stuck for
some reason. In this case it'll accept from peers and put into queue the same
blocks again and again leaking memory up to OOM condition.
Notice that queue length calculation might be wrong in case circular buffer
wraps, but it's not very likely to happen (usually blocks not coming from the
queue are added by consensus and it's not very fast in doing so).
In application logs hashes are serialized as base64 so it is useful
to convert them back to address via `util convert`.

Set all necessary context before file traversal, not only import
maps. Also, we can skip restoring import maps because all our code is
processed via `For*` iterators which set necessary context.

Notes for witnesses:
* [N sig + M multisig + K contract] combination is possible where N, M, K >=0.
* Each verification script should be properly filled in.
* Each invocation script should either be empty or contain exactly one

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.

(*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

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.

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%%.
