/// `BlockChain` synchronization strategy.
/// Syncs to peers and keeps up to date.
/// This implementation uses ethereum protocol v63
///
/// Syncing strategy summary.
/// Split the chain into ranges of N blocks each. Download ranges sequentially. Split each range into subchains of M blocks. Download subchains in parallel.
/// State.
/// Sync state consists of the following data:
/// - s: State enum which can be one of the following values: `ChainHead`, `Blocks`, `Idle`
/// - H: A set of downloaded block headers
/// - B: A set of downloaded block bodies
/// - S: Set of block subchain start block hashes to download.
/// - l: Last imported / common block hash
/// - P: A set of connected peers. For each peer we maintain its last known total difficulty and starting block hash being requested if any.
/// General behaviour.
/// We start with all sets empty, l is set to the best block in the block chain, s is set to `ChainHead`.
/// If at any moment a bad block is reported by the block queue, we set s to `ChainHead`, reset l to the best block in the block chain and clear H, B and S.
/// If at any moment P becomes empty, we set s to `ChainHead`, and clear H, B and S.
///
/// Workflow for `ChainHead` state.
/// In this state we try to get subchain headers with a single `GetBlockHeaders` request.
/// On `NewPeer` / On `Restart`:
/// 	If peer's total difficulty is higher, request N/M headers with interval M+1 starting from l
/// On `BlockHeaders(R)`:
/// 	If R is empty:
/// If l is equal to genesis block hash or l is more than 1000 blocks behind our best hash:
/// Remove current peer from P. set l to the best block in the block chain. Select peer with maximum total difficulty from P and restart.
/// Else
/// 	Set l to l’s parent and restart.
/// Else if we already have all the headers in the block chain or the block queue:
/// 	Set s to `Idle`,
/// Else
/// 	Set S to R, set s to `Blocks`.
///
///
/// All other messages are ignored.
/// Workflow for `Blocks` state.
/// In this state we download block headers and bodies from multiple peers.
/// On `NewPeer` / On `Restart`:
/// 	For all idle peers:
/// Find a set of 256 or less block hashes in H which are not in B and not being downloaded by other peers. If the set is not empty:
///  	Request block bodies for the hashes in the set.
/// Else
/// 	Find an element in S which is  not being downloaded by other peers. If found: Request M headers starting from the element.
///
/// On `BlockHeaders(R)`:
/// If R is empty remove current peer from P and restart.
/// 	Validate received headers. For each header find a parent in H or R or the blockchain. Restart if there is a block with unknown parent.
/// Go to `CollectBlocks`.
///
/// On `BlockBodies(R)`:
/// If R is empty remove current peer from P and restart.
/// 	Add bodies with a matching header in H to B.
/// 	Go to `CollectBlocks`.
///
/// `CollectBlocks`:
/// Find a chain of blocks C in H starting from h where h’s parent equals to l. The chain ends with the first block which does not have a body in B.
/// Add all blocks from the chain to the block queue. Remove them from H and B. Set l to the hash of the last block from C.
/// Update and merge subchain heads in S. For each h in S find a chain of blocks in B starting from h. Remove h from S. if the chain does not include an element from S add the end of the chain to S.
/// If H is empty and S contains a single element set s to `ChainHead`.
/// Restart.
///
/// All other messages are ignored.
/// Workflow for Idle state.
/// On `NewBlock`:
/// 	Import the block. If the block is unknown set s to `ChainHead` and restart.
/// On `NewHashes`:
/// 	Set s to `ChainHead` and restart.
///
/// All other messages are ignored.
