Dan Aharoni ea6f7a28c2 [NOD-420] Process delayed blocks (#529)
* [NOD-420] Delay blocks with valid timestamp (non-delayed) that point to a delayed block.

* [NOD-420] Mark block as requested when setting as delayed.

* [NOD-420] Merge master; Use dag.timeSource.AdjustedTime() instead of time.Now;

* [NOD-420] Return nil when not expecting an error

* [NOD-420] Initialise delyaed blocks mapping

* [NOD-420] Trigger delayed blocks processing every time we process a block.

* [NOD-420] Hold the read lock in processDelayedBlocks

* [NOD-420] Add delayed blocks heap sorted by their process time so we could process them in order.

* [NOD-420] Update debug log

* [NOD-420] Fix process blocks loop

* [NOD-420] Add comment

* [NOD-420] Log error message

* [NOD-420] Implement peek method for delayed block heap. extract delayed block processing to another  function.

* [NOD-420] Trigger process delayed blocks only in process block

* [NOD-420] Move delayed block addition to process block

* [NOD-420] Use process block to make sure we fully process the delayed block and deal with orphans.

* [NOD-420] Unexport functions when not needed; Return isDelayed boolean from ProcessBlock instead of the delay duration

* [NOd-420] Remove redundant delayedBlocksLock

* [NOD-420] Resolve merge conflict; Return delay 0 instead of boolean

* [NOD-420] Do not treat delayed block as orphan

* [NOD-420] Make sure block is not processed if we have already sa delayed.

* [NOD-420] Process delayed block if parent is delayed to make sure it would not be treated as orphan.

* [NOD-420] Rename variable

* [NOD-420] Rename function. Move maxDelayOfParents to process.go

* [NOD-420] Fix typo

* [NOD-420] Handle errors from processDelayedBlocks properly

* [NOD-420] Return default values if err != nil from dag.addDelayedBlock

* [NOD-420] Return default values if err != nil from dag.addDelayedBlock in another place

Overview

This package implements a concurrency safe block syncing protocol. The SyncManager communicates with connected peers to perform an initial block download, keep the chain and unconfirmed transaction pool in sync, and announce new blocks connected to the DAG. The sync manager selects a single sync peer that it downloads all blocks from until it is up to date with the the peer's selected tip.
