/*

The mempool pushes new txs onto the proxyAppConn.
It gets a stream of (req, res) tuples from the proxy.
The mempool stores good txs in a concurrent linked-list.

Multiple concurrent go-routines can traverse this linked-list
safely by calling .NextWait() on each element.

So we have several go-routines:
1. Consensus calling Update() and Reap() synchronously
2. Many mempool reactor's peer routines calling CheckTx()
3. Many mempool reactor's peer routines traversing the txs linked list
4. Another goroutine calling GarbageCollectTxs() periodically

To manage these goroutines, there are three methods of locking.
1. Mutations to the linked-list is protected by an internal mtx (CList is goroutine-safe)
2. Mutations to the linked-list elements are atomic
3. CheckTx() calls can be paused upon Update() and Reap(), protected by .proxyMtx

Garbage collection of old elements from mempool.txs is handlde via
the DetachPrev() call, which makes old elements not reachable by
peer broadcastTxRoutine() automatically garbage collected.

TODO: Better handle abci client errors. (make it automatically handle connection errors)
