Closes: #4537
Uses SignedHeaderBefore to find header before unverified header and then bisection to verify the header. Only when header is between first and last trusted header height else if before the first trusted header height then regular backwards verification is used.
- defined what variables needed to be changed in the `config.toml` in order to run a validator.
- Briefly explained how a sentry node archtecture should look
- add section explaing importance of key secruity

Closes: #4546
The algorithm uses an array to store the headers and validators and populates it at every bisection (which is an unsuccessful verification). When a successful verification finally occurs it updates the new trusted header, trims that header from the cache (the array) and sets the depth pointer back to 0. Instead of retrieving new headers it will use the cached headers, incrementing in depth until it reaches the end of the cache which by then it will start to retrieve new headers from the provider.
Mathematically, this method doesn't properly bisect after the first round but it will always choose a pivot header that is within 1/8th of the upper header's height. I.e. if we are trying to jump 128 headers, the maximum offset from bisection height (64) is 64 + 16(128/8) = 80, therefore a better heuristic would be to obtain the new pivot header height as the middle of these two numbers which would therefore mean to multiply it by 9/16ths instead of 1/2 (sorry this might be a bit more complicated in writing but I can try better explain if someone is interested). Therefore I would also, upon consensus, propose that we change the pivot height to 9/16th's of the previous height

error itself is not enough since it only signals if there were any
errors. Either (types.SignedHeader) or (success bool) is needed to
indicate the status of the operation. Returning a header is optimal
since most of the clients will want to get a newly verified header
anyway.
We first introduced auto-update as a separate struct AutoClient, which
was wrapping Client and calling Update periodically.
// AutoClient can auto update itself by fetching headers every N seconds.
type AutoClient struct {
base *Client
updatePeriod time.Duration
quit chan struct{}
trustedHeaders chan *types.SignedHeader
errs chan error
}
// NewAutoClient creates a new client and starts a polling goroutine.
func NewAutoClient(base *Client, updatePeriod time.Duration) *AutoClient {
c := &AutoClient{
base: base,
updatePeriod: updatePeriod,
quit: make(chan struct{}),
trustedHeaders: make(chan *types.SignedHeader),
errs: make(chan error),
}
go c.autoUpdate()
return c
}
// TrustedHeaders returns a channel onto which new trusted headers are posted.
func (c *AutoClient) TrustedHeaders() <-chan *types.SignedHeader {
return c.trustedHeaders
}
// Err returns a channel onto which errors are posted.
func (c *AutoClient) Errs() <-chan error {
return c.errs
}
// Stop stops the client.
func (c *AutoClient) Stop() {
close(c.quit)
}
func (c *AutoClient) autoUpdate() {
ticker := time.NewTicker(c.updatePeriod)
defer ticker.Stop()
for {
select {
case <-ticker.C:
lastTrustedHeight, err := c.base.LastTrustedHeight()
if err != nil {
c.errs <- err
continue
}
if lastTrustedHeight == -1 {
// no headers yet => wait
continue
}
newTrustedHeader, err := c.base.Update(time.Now())
if err != nil {
c.errs <- err
continue
}
if newTrustedHeader != nil {
c.trustedHeaders <- newTrustedHeader
}
case <-c.quit:
return
}
}
}
Later we merged it into the Client itself with the assumption that most clients will want it.
But now I am not sure. Neither IBC nor cosmos/relayer are using it. It increases complexity (Start/Stop methods).
That said, I think it makes sense to remove it until we see a need for it (until we better understand usage behavior). We can always introduce it later 😅. Maybe in the form of AutoClient.

closes: #4455
Verifying backwards checks that the trustedHeader hasn't expired both before and after the loop in case of verifying many headers (a longer operation), but not during the loop itself.
TrustedHeader() no longer checks whether the header saved in the store has expired.
Tests have been updated to reflect the changes
## Commits:
* verify headers backwards out of trust period
* removed expiration check in trusted header func
* modified tests to reflect changes
* wrote new tests for backwards verification
* modified TrustedHeader and TrustedValSet functions
* condensed test functions
* condensed test functions further
* fix build error
* update doc
* add comments
* remove unnecessary declaration
* extract latestHeight check into a separate func

Before we were storing trustedHeader (height=1) and trustedNextVals
(height=2).
After this change, we will be storing trustedHeader (height=1) and
trustedVals (height=1). This a) simplifies the code b) fixes#4399
inconsistent pairing issue c) gives a relayer access to the current
validator set #4470.
The only downside is more jumps during bisection. If validator set
changes between trustedHeader and the next header (by 2/3 or more), the
light client will be forced to download the next header and check that
2/3+ signed the transition. But we don't expect validator set change too
much and too often, so it's an acceptable compromise.
Closes#4470 and #4399

## Issue
Implement a new subcommand: tendermint debug. This subcommand itself has two subcommands:
$ tendermint debug kill <pid> </path/to/out.zip> --home=</path/to/app.d>
Writes debug info into a compressed archive. The archive will contain the following:
├── config.toml
├── consensus_state.json
├── net_info.json
├── stacktrace.out
├── status.json
└── wal
The Tendermint process will be killed.
$ tendermint debug dump </path/to/out> --home=</path/to/app.d>
This command will perform similar to kill except it only polls the node and dumps debugging data every frequency seconds to a compressed archive under a given destination directory. Each archive will contain:
├── consensus_state.json
├── goroutine.out
├── heap.out
├── net_info.json
├── status.json
└── wal
Note:
goroutine.out and heap.out will only be written if a profile address is provided and is operational.
This command is blocking and will log any error.
