## Description
I'm just doing a self audit of the light client. There's a few things I've changed
- Validate trust level in `VerifyNonAdjacent` function
- Make errNoWitnesses public (it's something people running software on top of a light client should be able to parse)
- Remove `ChainID` check of witnesses on start up. We do this already when we compare the first header with witnesses
- Remove `ChainID()` from provider interface
Closes: #4538
Closes: #4530
This PR contains logic for both submitting an evidence by the light client (lite2 package) and receiving it on the Tendermint side (/broadcast_evidence RPC and/or EvidenceReactor#Receive). Upon receiving the ConflictingHeadersEvidence (introduced by this PR), the Tendermint validates it, then breaks it down into smaller pieces (DuplicateVoteEvidence, LunaticValidatorEvidence, PhantomValidatorEvidence, PotentialAmnesiaEvidence). Afterwards, each piece of evidence is verified against the state of the full node and added to the pool, from which it's reaped upon block creation.
* rpc/client: do not pass height param if height ptr is nil
* rpc/core: validate incoming evidence!
* only accept ConflictingHeadersEvidence if one
of the headers is committed from this full node's perspective
This simplifies the code. Plus, if there are multiple forks, we'll
likely to receive multiple ConflictingHeadersEvidence anyway.
* swap CommitSig with Vote in LunaticValidatorEvidence
Vote is needed to validate signature
* no need to embed client
http is a provider and should not be used as a client
Closes issue #4338
Uses a wrapper function around both the signedHeader and validatorSet calls to the primary provider which attempts to retrieve the information 5 times before deeming the provider unavailable and replacing the primary provider with the first alternative before trying recursively again (until all alternatives are depleted)
Employs a mutex lock for any operations involving the providers of the light client to ensure no operations occurs whilst the new primary is chosen.
Commits:
* created swapProvider function
* eliminates old primary provider after replacement. Uses a mutex when changing providers
* renamed to replaceProvider
* created wrapped functions for signed header and val set
* created test for primary provider replacement
* implemented suggested revisions
* created Witnesses() and Primary()
* modified backoffAndJitterTime
* modified backoffAndJitterTime
* changed backoff base and jitter to functional arguments
* implemented suggested changes
* removed backoff function
* changed exp function to match go version
* halved the backoff time
* removed seeding and added comments
* fixed incorrect test
* extract backoff timeout calc into a function

* lite2: advance to latest header
without any exponential steps
rename autoUpdate to autoUpdateRoutine
* lite2: wait in Cleanup until goroutines finished running
* lite2: move AutoClient into Client
Most of the users will want auto update feature, so it makes sense to
move it into the Client itself, rather than having a separate
abstraction (it makes the code cleaner, but introduces an extra thing
the user will need to learn).
Also, add `FirstTrustedHeight` func to Client to get first trusted height.
* fix db store tests
* separate examples for auto and manual clients
* AutoUpdate tries to update to latest state
NOT 1 header at a time
* fix errors
* lite2: make Logger an option
remove SetLogger func
* fix lite cmd
* lite2: make concurrency assumptions explicit
* fixes after my own review
* no need for nextHeightFn
sequence func will download intermediate headers
* correct comment

* add two more checks
make trustLevel an option
* float32 for trustLevel

* started writing lite Client
* unify Verify methods
* ensure h2.Header.bfttime < h1.Header.bfttime + tp
* move trust checks into Verify function
* add more comments
* more docs
* started writing tests
* unbonding period failures
* tests are green
* export ErrNewHeaderTooFarIntoFuture
* make golangci happy
* test for non-adjusted headers
* more precision
* providers and stores
* VerifyHeader and VerifyHeaderAtHeight funcs
* fix compile errors
* remove lastVerifiedHeight, persist new trusted header
* sequential verification
* remove TrustedStore option
* started writing tests for light client
* cover basic cases for linear verification
* bisection tests PASS
* rename BisectingVerification to SkippingVerification
* refactor the code
* add TrustedHeader method
* consolidate sequential verification tests
* consolidate skipping verification tests
* rename trustedVals to trustedNextVals
* start writing docs
* ValidateTrustLevel func and ErrOldHeaderExpired error
* AutoClient and example tests
* fix errors
* update doc
* remove ErrNewHeaderTooFarIntoFuture
This check is unnecessary given existing a) ErrOldHeaderExpired b)
h2.Time > now checks.
* return an error if we're at more recent height
* add comments
* add LastSignedHeaderHeight method to Store
I think it's fine if Store tracks last height
* copy over proxy from old lite package
* make TrustedHeader return latest if height=0
* modify LastSignedHeaderHeight to return an error if no headers exist
* copy over proxy impl
* refactor proxy and start http lite client
* Tx and BlockchainInfo methods
* Block method
* commit method
* code compiles again
* lite client compiles
* extract updateLiteClientIfNeededTo func
* move final parts
* add placeholder for tests
* force usage of lite http client in proxy
* comment out query tests for now
* explicitly mention tp: trusting period
* verify nextVals in VerifyHeader
* refactor bisection
* move the NextValidatorsHash check into updateTrustedHeaderAndVals
+ update the comment
* add ConsensusParams method to RPC client
* add ConsensusParams to rpc/mock/client
* change trustLevel type to a new cmn.Fraction type
+ update SkippingVerification comment
* stress out trustLevel is only used for non-adjusted headers
* fixes after Fede's review

- Block no longer contains BlockMeta
- Validators now accept two additional params: page and perPage
* make linter happy
