Adding the script used to perform block replays.
this is a standalone helper script, designed for debian based systems and should self-install/build everything needed to run.
storage requirements are a bit heavy, and it will cook eggs with how hot the cpus get.
commented and passed shellcheck.
some notes:
Requires ~73GB per slice, plus an extra ~400GB for the chainstate archive and marf DB
as of 02/2025:
for 10 cpus, the entire block replay will take around 14 hours depending on network speed. once the chainstate is downloaded/extracted the runtime is roughly 12 hours.
Recommended to run this in screen/tmux since it is a long running process.
