Description

Slash packets are now queued on the provider, and handled in a throttled manner.

Closes #404
Closes #595

I've kept #589 and #600 as separate PRs, but they are useful in validating the correctness of this feature. My suggestion is to merge them into main after this PR, once people have time to review them.

Protocol Description and Background

See md file in PR https://github.com/cosmos/interchain-security/blob/ba9965ec5fa8920008e3b1afc593277741e5c9e8/docs/throttle.md

Change entire design of this PR, don't queue anything, drop slash packets when too many come in at once. I like this idea but it is not viable, as it would violate a lot of the guarantees of the spec.

How it is currently already violates a lot of guarantees of the spec. We are going to change the spec to accomodate this. The spec would presumably also be changed if other solutions required it. The precise slash guarantees are anyway a lot a product decision, not an absolute correctness decision.

Don't panic when queue becomes too large. I'm fine taking this path, but it would cause non-deterministic behavior if validators' binaries are panicking (or crashing, or their machines run out of disk space) at different times

Hmm good point about the non determinism! Whatever the decision with the queue size limit, it should be in the doc.

Addressing this comment, this design does not violate a lot of the spec properties compared to alternatives like dropping slash packets. These are definitely valuable conversations, but I think they're best saved for the development of the slash packet throttling spec. I'll add a section in the doc about the max queue limit

Amazing work @smarshall-spitzbart. Check my comments bellow. Nothing major. Can be fixed after this is merged.

This sorts by the number of bytes returned by sdk.FormatTimeBytes. Replace with uint64 as done in e440824

Nice catch! When you have time could you sanity check 3b03354. It should be safe to parse the uint64 time back to a time.Time using recvTime = time.Unix(0, int64(timeBz)).UTC(), correct?

LGTM. I would be more comfortable though once we have #607 fixed.

Change the switch to ifs to avoid using a label, becuase most people won't be familiar with labels
