William Banfield 978f754ad3 p2p: set empty timeouts to configed values. (manual backport of #8847) (#8869)
* regenerate mocks using newer style

* p2p: set empty timeouts to small values. (#8847)

These timeouts default to 'do not time out' if they are not set. This times up resources, potentially indefinitely. If node on the other side of the the handshake is up but unresponsive, the[ handshake call](edec79448a/internal/p2p/router.go (L720)) will _never_ return.

* fix light client select statement

Application BlockChain Interface (ABCI)

Blockchains are systems for multi-master state machine replication. ABCI is an interface that defines the boundary between the replication engine (the blockchain), and the state machine (the application). Using a socket protocol, a consensus engine running in one process can manage an application state running in another.

Previously, the ABCI was referred to as TMSP.

The community has provided a number of additional implementations, see the Tendermint Ecosystem

Installation & Usage

To get up and running quickly, see the getting started guide along with the abci-cli documentation which will go through the examples found in the examples directory.

Specification

A detailed description of the ABCI methods and message types is contained in:

Protocol Buffers

To compile the protobuf file, run (from the root of the repo):

make protoc_abci

See protoc --help and the Protocol Buffers site for details on compiling for other languages. Note we also include a GRPC service definition.
