The intention is to remove the `Update::introduce_older_blocks`
parameter and update the local chain directly with `CheckPoint`.
This simplifies the API and there is a way to do this efficiently.
Ensure that `CheckPoint::range` returns expected values by comparing
against values returned from a primitive approach.
I think it is a good idea to start writing proptests for this crate.
These methods allow us to query for checkpoints contained within the
linked list by height and height range. This is useful to determine
checkpoints to fetch for chain sources without having to refer back to
the `LocalChain`.
Currently this is not implemented efficiently, but in the future, we
will change `CheckPoint` to use a skip list structure.
Thank you @vladimirfomene for these suggestions.
* Rename `LocalUpdate::keychain` to `LocalUpdate::last_active_indices`.
* Change docs for `CheckPoint` to be more descriptive.
* Fix incorrect logic in `update_local_chain` for `EsploraExt` and
`EsploraAsyncExt`.
This commit changes the `LocalChain` implementation to have blocks
stored as a linked-list. This allows the data-src thread to hold a
shared ref to a single checkpoint and have access to the whole history
of checkpoints without cloning or keeping a lock on `LocalChain`.
The APIs of `bdk::Wallet`, `esplora` and `electrum` are also updated to
reflect these changes. Note that the `esplora` crate is rewritten to
anchor txs in the confirmation block (using the esplora API's tx status
block_hash). This guarantees 100% consistency between anchor blocks and
their transactions (instead of anchoring txs to the latest tip).
`ExploraExt` now has separate methods for updating the `TxGraph` and
`LocalChain`.
A new method `TxGraph::missing_blocks` is introduced for finding
"floating anchors" of a `TxGraph` update (given a chain).
Additional changes:
* `test_local_chain.rs` is refactored to make test cases easier to
write. Additional tests are also added.
* Examples are updated.
* Fix `tempfile` dev dependency of `bdk_file_store` to work with MSRV

This is mostly copying over the relevant tests from `SparseChain`.
Changes are made to `local_chain::ChangeSet` to re-add the ability to
remove blocks.
