* aura: emit ancestry actions for finalizing blocks
* aura: refactor is_epoch_end to get finalized blocks as argument
* ethcore: add is_epoch_end_light method to Engine
The full client now tracks finality by querying the engine on each block import,
and it also persists the finalization state to the DB. For the light client
current it doesn't persist finality information and only keeps track of finality
for epoch signals, by calling `is_epoch_end_light`. This method implements the
previously existing logic of building finality for all the blocks in the current
epoch and then checking the finalized blocks against the transition store.
* ethcore: allow finalizing current block
* aura: fix construction of finality proof
* aura: fix warnings
- missing docs for is_epoch_end_light
- unused method unfinalized_hashes in RollingFinality
* aura: fix clone on copy types
* OnDemand no longer loop until there is a query.
All peer known at the time will be queried, and the query fail if all
return no reply.
Returning the failure is done through an empty Vec of reply (the type
of the oneshot channel remains unchanged).
Before this commit the query were send randomly to any peer until there
is a reply (for a query that got no result it was an issue, for other
queries it was quering multiple times the same peers).
After this commit the first query is random but next queries
follows hashmap iterator order.
Test no_capability was broken by this commit (the pending query was
removed).

set number of query to minimum current number peer or configured number
of query : that way capability test was restored.

Closes#9255
This PR also removes the limit of max 64 transactions per packet, currently we only attempt to prevent the packet size to go over 8MB. This will only be the case for super-large transactions or high-block-gas-limit chains.
Patching this is important only for chains that have blocks that can fit more than 4k transactions (over 86M block gas limit)
For mainnet, we should actually see a tiny bit faster propagation since instead of computing 4k pending set, we only need `4 * 8M / 21k = 1523` transactions.
Running some tests on `dekompile` node right now, to check how it performs in the wild.

* Replace Rlp with UntrustedRlp in views, explicity unwrap with expect
First pass to get it to compile. Need to figure out whether to do this or to propogate Errors upstream, which would require many more changes to dependent code. If we do this way we are assuming that the views are always used in a context where the rlp is trusted to be valid e.g. when reading from our own DB. So need to fid out whether views are used with data received from an untrusted (e.g. extrernal peer).
* Remove original Rlp impl, rename UntrustedRlp -> Rlp
* Create rlp views with view! macro to record debug info
Views are assumed to be over valid rlp, so if there is a decoding error we record where the view was created in the first place and report it in the expect
* Use $crate in view! macro to avoid import, fix tests
* Expect valid rlp in decode functions for now
* Replace spaces with tabs in new file
* Add doc tests for creating views with macro

* Replace Rlp with UntrustedRlp and unsafely unwrap

pass each will be marked with `expect("TODO")`. In the next pass we can
categorise figure out how to handle each case.
