William Banfield 2c3c64e8a0 abci: Synchronize FinalizeBlock with the updated specification (#7983)
This change set implements the most recent version of `FinalizeBlock`.

* This change set is rather large but fear not! The majority of the files touched and changes are renaming `ResponseDeliverTx` to `ExecTxResult`. This should be a pretty inoffensive change since they're effectively the same type but with a different name.
* The `execBlockOnProxyApp` was totally removed since it served as just a wrapper around the logic that is now mostly encapsulated within `FinalizeBlock`
* The `updateState` helper function has been made a public method on `State`. It was being exposed as a shim through the testing infrastructure, so this seemed innocuous.
* Tests already existed to ensure that the application received the `ByzantineValidators` and the `ValidatorUpdates`, but one was fixed up to ensure that `LastCommitInfo` was being sent across.
* Tests were removed from the `psql` indexer that seemed to search for an event in the indexer that was not being created.

* We store this [ABCIResponses](5721a13ab1/proto/tendermint/state/types.pb.go (L37)) type in the data base as the block results. This type has changed since v0.35 to contain the `FinalizeBlock` response. I'm wondering if we need to do any shimming to keep the old data retrieveable?
* Similarly, this change is exposed via the RPC through [ResultBlockResults](5721a13ab1/rpc/coretypes/responses.go (L69)) changing. Should we somehow shim or notify for this change?

KVStore

There are two app's here: the KVStoreApplication and the PersistentKVStoreApplication.

KVStoreApplication

The KVStoreApplication is a simple merkle key-value store. Transactions of the form key=value are stored as key-value pairs in the tree. Transactions without an = sign set the value to the key. The app has no replay protection (other than what the mempool provides).

PersistentKVStoreApplication

The PersistentKVStoreApplication wraps the KVStoreApplication and provides three additional features:

  1. persistence of state across app restarts (using Tendermint's ABCI-Handshake mechanism)
  2. validator set changes

The state is persisted in leveldb along with the last block committed, and the Handshake allows any necessary blocks to be replayed. Validator set changes are effected using the following transaction format:

"val:pubkey1!power1,pubkey2!power2,pubkey3!power3"

where pubkeyN is a base64-encoded 32-byte ed25519 key and powerN is a new voting power for the validator with pubkeyN (possibly a new one). To remove a validator from the validator set, set power to 0. There is no sybil protection against new validators joining.
