Anton Kaliaev 6daea31f50 lite2: remove expiration checks on functions that don't require them (#4477)
closes: #4455

Verifying backwards checks that the trustedHeader hasn't expired both before and after the loop in case of verifying many headers (a longer operation), but not during the loop itself.

TrustedHeader() no longer checks whether the header saved in the store has expired.

Tests have been updated to reflect the changes

## Commits:

* verify headers backwards out of trust period

* removed expiration check in trusted header func

* modified tests to reflect changes

* wrote new tests for backwards verification

* modified TrustedHeader and TrustedValSet functions

* condensed test functions

* condensed test functions further

* fix build error

* update doc

* add comments

* remove unnecessary declaration

* extract latestHeight check into a separate func

Architecture Decision Records (ADR)

This is a location to record all high-level architecture decisions in the tendermint project.

You can read more about the ADR concept in this blog post.

An ADR should provide:

  • Context on the relevant goals and the current state
  • Proposed changes to achieve the goals
  • Summary of pros and cons
  • References
  • Changelog

Note the distinction between an ADR and a spec. The ADR provides the context, intuition, reasoning, and justification for a change in architecture, or for the architecture of something new. The spec is much more compressed and streamlined summary of everything as it stands today.

If recorded decisions turned out to be lacking, convene a discussion, record the new decisions here, and then modify the code to match.

Note the context/background should be written in the present tense.
