    les, les/flowcontrol: improved request serving and flow control (#18230) · c2003ed6

    This change
    
    - implements concurrent LES request serving even for a single peer.
    - replaces the request cost estimation method with a cost table based on
      benchmarks which gives much more consistent results. Until now the
      allowed number of light peers was just a guess which probably contributed
      a lot to the fluctuating quality of available service. Everything related
      to request cost is implemented in a single object, the 'cost tracker'. It
      uses a fixed cost table with a global 'correction factor'. Benchmark code
      is included and can be run at any time to adapt costs to low-level
      implementation changes.
    - reimplements flowcontrol.ClientManager in a cleaner and more efficient
      way, with added capabilities: There is now control over bandwidth, which
      allows using the flow control parameters for client prioritization.
      Target utilization over 100 percent is now supported to model concurrent
      request processing. Total serving bandwidth is reduced during block
      processing to prevent database contention.
    - implements an RPC API for the LES servers allowing server operators to
      assign priority bandwidth to certain clients and change prioritized
      status even while the client is connected. The new API is meant for
      cases where server operators charge for LES using an off-protocol mechanism.
    - adds a unit test for the new client manager.
    - adds an end-to-end test using the network simulator that tests bandwidth
      control functions through the new API.
