PoW v2 - ASIC/FPGA resistance

This is a major security upgrade on PoW component, which is mandatory for every node on the network.

Features:

  1. Defying 3D object angle of rotation is prohibited
  2. Reverse method of calculation (getting 3D object recovered directly out of the pre_hash previously found) is prohibited
  3. Leveraging full blockchain db is required, because of the “proof of context” extension ensuring the dynamic usage of memory in the mining loop, which helps us resist against ASIC/FPGA devices sensitive to memory load speed
  4. Grid2d output is getting processed by the RandomX hashing function to equalize the mining velocity for CPU and GPU devices to one another
  5. Wasm version of grid2d recognition algorithm as part of runtime on block import
  6. Other improvements
