Description
Excludes dummy blocks from catch-up sync
Excludes dummy blocks from RPC sync
Rename
tari_comms_rpc_state_sync
totari_rpc_state_sync
Removed commented-out and dead code
Motivation and Context
The is_dummy flag is not sent on catch-up, which leads to a "missing proposal signature" error, since summy blocks cannot be signed. Dummy blocks are calculated as needed by the proposal handler so do not need to be sent.
When testing manually this works, however, we sometimes run into #887
How Has This Been Tested?
Manually, synced chain with dummy blocks and checked that dummy blocks created
What process can a PR reviewer use to test or verify this change?
4 VN committee, shut down one node and delete its data, wait for leader failures (to create some dummy blocks), restart node, and check that it syncs
