    eth, les: add new config field SyncFromCheckpoint (#22123) · 45cb1a58
    gary rong authored
    This PR introduces a new config field SyncFromCheckpoint for light client.
    
    In some special scenarios, it's required to start synchronization from some
    arbitrary checkpoint or even from the scratch. So this PR offers this
    flexibility to users so that the synchronization start point can be configured.
    
    There are two relevant configs: SyncFromCheckpoint and Checkpoint.
    
    - If the SyncFromCheckpoint is true, the light client will try to sync from the
      specified checkpoint.
    
    - If the Checkpoint is not configured, then the light client will sync from the
      scratch(from the latest header if the database is not empty)
    
    Additional notes: these two configs are not visible in the CLI flags but only
    accessable in the config file.
    
    Example Usage:
    
    [Eth]
    SyncFromCheckpoint = true
    
    [Eth.Checkpoint]
    SectionIndex = 100
    SectionHead = "0xabc"
    CHTRoot = "0xabc"
    BloomRoot = "0xabc"
    
    PS. Historical checkpoint can be retrieved from the synced full node or light
    client via les_getCheckpoint API.
