Rojo Loco (v1.9.10)

Geth v1.9.10 is one of our usual maintenance releases. To make the first release of 2020 a bit more special though, we've also enabled the light client checkpoint oracle on mainnet (been running on all test nets for over 6 months now)!

Among the various tiny tweaks, more notable ones are:

• Integrate DNS discovery, don't activate yet (#20437, #20524).
• Bump the propagated transaction cap to 64KB (#20352, #20555).
• Add propagated block integrity check before forwarding (#20546).
• Continued removing deprecated types from the codebase (#20312).
• Optimize memory allocations during trie traversal in hashing (#20529).
• Handle an ABI ambiguity between Solidity and Vyper outputs (#20419).
• Support WebSocket dialing from Go with custom HTTP configs (#20471).
• Extend the ABI decoder to handle Solidity 6 view/pure modifiers (#20482).
• Reorganize chain database writes to be less vulnerable to crashes (#20287).
• Support exporting a block interval via RPC too, not just through the CLI (#20107).

And of course, fixes:

• Fix issue where light servers disconnected each other (#20453).
• Fix a goroutine leak in whisper v6 implementation. (#20520).
• Fix discovery bootnode-fallback on blocked UDP (#20573).
• Fix an RPC incompatibility for pending blocks (#20460).
