We select a peer to ask a block randomly. Peer's send channel has
capacity 10. If we need too many blocks we limit number of blocks to asks as a number of peers
* 10, which means that there is some probability (pretty high) that we
will overflow send buffer capacity.
This fix freezes a peer list (which gives also some performance boost)
and create a cycle iteraror to equally distribute requests among the
peers.
There is a risk that a peer may be disconnected while we are sending a
request to the chanel, but stricltly speaking it was possible in the old
code too, perhaps with a lower probability.
Fixes#1748
* header MMR in use within txhashset itself
works with fast sync
not yet in place for initial header sync
* add the (currently unused) sync_head mmr
* use sync MMR during fast sync
rebuild header MMR after we validate full txhashset after download
* support missing header MMR (rebuild as necessary) for legacy nodes
* rename to HashOnly
* cleanup backend.append()
* simplify vec_backend to match simpler append api
* First pass at secondary proof of work difficulty adjustments
* Core and chain test fixes
* Next difficulty calc now needs a height. Scaling calculation fixes. Setting scaling on mined block.
* Change factor to u32 instead of u64.
* Cleanup structs used by next_difficulty
* Fix header size calc with u32 scaling
* get rid of RwLock around peer instances
* rustfmt
* rename stuff to live_info
* rustfmt
* serialize into PeerInfoDisplay
limit live_info write lock to peer_info.update()
rename to PeerLiveInfo
* simplify broadcast logic a bit more
connected peers are connected by definition
* return true/false on broadcast so we can send to more peers
* rustfmt
* fix p2p and server tests for PeerInfoDisplay
* commit
* Go back to db for head and header_head
* Use batch consistently for db access
* Pass active txhashset and batch in the ctx
* Only update head in db if total work increases
* Only updated header_head if total work (on header chain) increases
Picks a random defunct peer and marks it healthy again anytime
we're querying peers to find more. Over enough time, any peer will
see another as defunct, leading to peer list atrophy. This
allows us random retries.
In addition, we need to cleanup peers after a while, we quickly
accumulate hundreds of dead peers over time. This should be
tracked by a different issue however.

* Allow TLS for Wallet APIs
This PR adds an optional support of TLS for wallet APIs. Only PKCS12 format is supported, will address .pem support in next PR and provide some documentation.
Address #1425
* Add api_secret
* Add to base64 method
* Add basic auth in API
* Add Basic Auth to owner API
* Add flag to enable disable basic auth
* Add .api_secret file
* Move Proof and Difficulty types to pow module. Difficulty scaling calculation.
* Diffculty scaling and size shift for 2nd PoW
* Backport e7eb26ee
* Test compilation fixes
* Scaling only need to go one way, as @tromp pointed out
Currently on startup we wait for 30 secs if we don't have at least 4 peers with more work. If a node was quickly restarted it is already fully synced so thereare no peers with more work at all. This pr assumes that if we've done some work already and we have enough peers but still 0 with more work we are fully synced and good to go.
* fix for unstable travis-ci test on servers module
* skip the PeerWithSelf connection request on sending side
* logs and comments change; and remove an unnecessary unwrap() in test
* improve: HeaderSync optimization (#1372)
* remove get_locator() optimization, which should be an independent pr for security review
* refactoring: move 'headers_streaming_body()' from Message to Protocol
* move 2 headers utils functions out of Protocol, and remove 'pub'
* support reading variable size of BlockHeader, from Cuckoo30 to Cuckoo36
* fix: use global::min_sizeshift() instead of hardcoded 30, because Cuckoo10 will be used for AutomatedTesting chain
* fix: should use global::proofsize() instead of hardcoded 42 when calculate serialized_size_of_header
* replace another 42 with global::proofsize()
