Cortina.1 - DAG Engine Removal

This version is backwards compatible to v1.10.0. It is optional, but encouraged. The supported plugin version is 26.

APIs

• Enabled avm.getBlockByHeight to take in height as a string
• Added IDs to json formats
  • platform.getTx now includes id in the tx response
  • platform.getBlock now includes id in the block response and in the internal tx fields
  • avm.getTx now includes id in the tx response
  • avm.getBlock now includes id in the block response and in the internal tx fields
  • avm.getBlockByHeight now includes id in the block response and in the internal tx fields
• Removed avm.issueStopVertex
• Fixed wallet methods to correctly allow issuance of dependent transactions after the X-chain linearization
• Added validatorOnly flag in platform.getStake
• Removed all avalanche consensus metrics
• Fixed msgHandlingTime metrics

Configs

• Removed --snow-avalanche-num-parents
• Removed --snow-avalanche-batch-size

Fixes

• Fixed panic when restarting partially completed X-chain snowman bootstrapping
• Fixed --network-allow-private-ips handling to correctly prevent outbound connections to private IP ranges
• Fixed UniformSampler to support sampling numbers between MaxInt64 and MaxUint64
• Fixed data race in txID access during transaction gossip in the AVM
