      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.
