Tendermint consensus for NeuralChain

init

-- TOBE written

metrics collections:

The specific metrics required for tunning Tendermint consensus is implemented and can be collected with flag

--metrics --metrics.influxdb 

when running normal ./gev command. Note that the influxDB instance has to be preconfigured to store the metrics required.

To achieve the requied metrics, table manipulation is required as metrics are collected as raw counter over time. The available metrics are in the following measurements:

gev.eth/consensus/tendermint/in/packets.meter
gev.eth/consensus/tendermint/in/traffic.meter
gev.eth/consensus/tendermint/out/packets.meter
gev.eth/consensus/tendermint/out/traffic.meter
gev.eth/consensus/tendermint/proposalwait.timer
gev.eth/consensus/tendermint/rounds.meter

The other metrics (tx/blocks per second etc...) are available in normal NeuralChain metrics
