This PR implements the new LES protocol version extensions:

  • new and more efficient Merkle proofs reply format (when replying to a multiple Merkle proofs request, we just send a single set of trie nodes containing all necessary nodes)
  • BBT (BloomBitsTrie) works similarly to the existing CHT and contains the bloombits search data to speed up log searches
  • GetTxStatusMsg returns the inclusion position or the pending/queued/unknown state of a transaction referenced by hash
  • an optional signature of new block data (number/hash/td) can be included in AnnounceMsg to provide an option for "very light clients" (mobile/embedded devices) to skip expensive Ethash check and accept multiple signatures of somewhat trusted servers (still a lot better than trusting a single server completely and retrieving everything through RPC). The new client mode is not implemented in this PR, just the protocol extension.

W00t - nice to see this merged - can't wait for 1.7.3 - any chance for a release before DevCon3?

Yea - I think you are right - but perhaps I use a snapshot for once ;-) Would really love to see a faster light-client ..
Especially on one Device I have there currently - NXP i.MX6UL - this syncs on rinkeby for days now ..
Btw.: this one should close #15342 correct?
