//! Light client header chain.
//!
//! Unlike a full node's `BlockChain` this doesn't store much in the database.
//! It stores candidates for the last 2048-4096 blocks as well as CHT roots for
//! historical blocks all the way to the genesis.
//!
//! This is separate from the `BlockChain` for two reasons:
//!   - It stores only headers (and a pruned subset of them)
//!   - To allow for flexibility in the database layout once that's incorporated.
// TODO: use DB instead of memory. DB Layout: just the contents of `candidates`/`headers`
//
