Ferrite v3.1.1

[koh-gt]

Prune height increased from 100,000 to 500,000.
This is because most blocks are empty.
As of height 143516 after 6 months, the blockchain size is 93.6 MB. Assuming a doubling every 100,000 blocks, the blockchain will still be well under 2 GB.

The space savings from disabling pruning is not worth resynchronising in the case the full chain is needed.

Next will be to wait for height 150,000 for MWEB to be activated, before adding another checkpoint.

Added updates from Litecoin Core v0.21.2.2 Release.

Notable changes

Important Security Updates

This release contains fixes that harden node and network security. These fixes are important for every node operator and wallet user.
Limit and tightly manage memory usage in events of high network traffic or when connected to extremely slow peers. This protects nodes on lower end hardware to not run out of memory in the face of increased network activity.

RPC API Changes

Added addconnection for use by functional tests.
getpeerinfo provides 2 new fields per peer, addr_processed and addr_rate_limited, that track addr message processing.
