This replaces `ver_rct_non_semantics_simple_cached()` with an API that offloads
the responsibility of tracking input verification successes to the caller. The
main caller of this function in the codebase, `cryptonote::Blockchain()` instead
keeps track of the verification results for transaction in the mempool by
storing a "verification ID" in the mempool metadata table (with `txpool_tx_meta_t`).
This has several benefits, including:
* When the mempool is large (>8192 txs), we no longer experience cache misses and unnecessarily re-verify ring signatures. This greatly improves block propagation time for FCMP++ blocks under load
* For the same reason, reorg handling can be sped up by storing verification IDs of transactions popped from the chain
* Speeds up re-validating every mempool transaction on fork change (monerod revalidates the whole tx-pool on HFs #10142)
* Caches results for every single type of Monero transaction, not just latest RCT type
* Cache persists over a node restart
* Uses 512KiB less RAM (8192*2*32B)
* No additional storage or DB migration required since `txpool_tx_meta_t` already had padding allocated
* Moves more verification logic out of `cryptonote::Blockchain`
Furthermore, this opens the door to future multi-threaded block verification
speed-ups. Right now, transactions' input proof verification is limited to one
transaction at a time. However, one can imagine a scenario with verification IDs
where input proofs are optimistically multi-threaded in advance of block
processing. Then, even though ring member fetching and verification is
single-threaded inside of `cryptonote::Blockchain::check_tx_inputs()`, the
single thread can skip the CPU-intensive cryptographic code if the verification
ID allows it.
Also changes the default log category in `tx_verification_utils.cpp` from "blockchain" to "verify".
Reduce bloat in the python RPC Response class by making better use of
superclass methods and recursion. As part of this change, add tests for
the Response class.
- When background syncing, the wallet wipes the spend key
from memory and processes all new transactions. The wallet saves
all receives, spends, and "plausible" spends of receives the
wallet does not know key images for.
- When background sync disabled, the wallet processes all
background synced txs and then clears the background sync cache.
- Adding "plausible" spends to the background sync cache ensures
that the wallet does not need to query the daemon to see if any
received outputs were spent while background sync was enabled.
This would harm privacy especially for users of 3rd party daemons.
- To enable the feature in the CLI wallet, the user can set
background-sync to reuse-wallet-password or
custom-background-password and the wallet automatically syncs in
the background when the wallet locks, then processes all
background synced txs when the wallet is unlocked.
- The custom-background-password option enables the user to
open a distinct background wallet that only has a view key saved
and can be opened/closed/synced separately from the main wallet.
When the main wallet opens, it processes the background wallet's
cache.
- To enable the feature in the RPC wallet, there is a new
`/setup_background_sync` endpoint.
- HW, multsig and view-only wallets cannot background sync.
Test:
1. Can't login to RPC server with --rpc-login enabled, but no auth provided
2. Can access RPC server with correct login
3. Can use internal HTTP client to access RPC server with correct login
With commit 0ae5c91e50 not reverted, we fail test 3.
