refs #4329
As opposed to using recursion to implement the bisection method of verifying a header, which could have problems with memory allocation (especially for smaller devices), the bisection algorithm now uses a for loop.
* modified bisection to loop
* made lint changes
* made lint changes
* move note to VerifyHeader
since it applies both for sequence and bisection
* test bisection jumps to header signed by 1/3+
of old validator set
* update labels in debug log calls
* copy tc

Closes#4328
When TrustedHeader(height) is called, if the height is less than the trusted height but the header is not in the trusted store then a function finds the previous lowest height with a trusted header and performs a forwards sequential verification to the header of the height that was given. If no error is found it updates the trusted store with the header and validator set for that height and can then return them to the user.
Commits:
* drafted trusted header
* created function to find previous trusted height
* updates missing headers less than the trusted height
* minor cosmetic tweaks
* incorporated suggestions
* lite2: implement Backwards verification
and add SignedHeaderAfter func to Store interface
Refs https://github.com/tendermint/tendermint/issues/4328#issuecomment-581878549
* remove unused method
* write tests
* start with next height in SignedHeaderAfter func
* fix linter errors
* address Callum's comments

* types: change `Commit` to consist of just signatures
These are final changes towards removing votes from commit and leaving
only signatures (see ADR-25)
Fixes#1648
* bring back TestCommitToVoteSetWithVotesForAnotherBlockOrNilBlock
+ add absent flag to Vote to indicate that it's for another block
* encode nil votes as CommitSig with BlockIDFlagAbsent
+ make Commit#Precommits array of non-pointers
because precommit will never be nil
* add NewCommitSigAbsent and Absent() funcs
* uncomment validation in CommitSig#ValidateBasic
* add comments to ValidatorSet funcs
* add a changelog entry
* break instead of continue
continue does not make sense in these cases
* types: rename Commit#Precommits to Signatures
* swagger: fix /commit response
* swagger: change block_id_flag type
* fix merge conflicts

make trustLevel an option

* unify Verify methods
* ensure h2.Header.bfttime < h1.Header.bfttime + tp
* move trust checks into Verify function
* add more comments
* more docs
* started writing tests
* unbonding period failures
* tests are green
* export ErrNewHeaderTooFarIntoFuture
* make golangci happy
* test for non-adjusted headers
* more precision
* providers and stores
* VerifyHeader and VerifyHeaderAtHeight funcs
* fix compile errors
* remove lastVerifiedHeight, persist new trusted header
* sequential verification
* remove TrustedStore option
* started writing tests for light client
* cover basic cases for linear verification
* bisection tests PASS
* rename BisectingVerification to SkippingVerification
* refactor the code
* add TrustedHeader method
* consolidate sequential verification tests
* consolidate skipping verification tests
* rename trustedVals to trustedNextVals
* start writing docs
* ValidateTrustLevel func and ErrOldHeaderExpired error
* AutoClient and example tests
* fix errors
* update doc
* remove ErrNewHeaderTooFarIntoFuture
This check is unnecessary given existing a) ErrOldHeaderExpired b)
h2.Time > now checks.
* return an error if we're at more recent height
* add comments
* add LastSignedHeaderHeight method to Store
I think it's fine if Store tracks last height
* copy over proxy from old lite package
* make TrustedHeader return latest if height=0
* modify LastSignedHeaderHeight to return an error if no headers exist
* copy over proxy impl
* refactor proxy and start http lite client
* Tx and BlockchainInfo methods
* Block method
* commit method
* code compiles again
* lite client compiles
* extract updateLiteClientIfNeededTo func
* move final parts
* add placeholder for tests
* force usage of lite http client in proxy
* comment out query tests for now
* explicitly mention tp: trusting period
* verify nextVals in VerifyHeader
* refactor bisection
* move the NextValidatorsHash check into updateTrustedHeaderAndVals
+ update the comment
* add ConsensusParams method to RPC client
* add ConsensusParams to rpc/mock/client
* change trustLevel type to a new cmn.Fraction type
+ update SkippingVerification comment
* stress out trustLevel is only used for non-adjusted headers
* fixes after Fede's review

* lite: update Validators and Block endpoints
- Block no longer contains BlockMeta
- Validators now accept two additional params: page and perPage
* make linter happy
