[update needed] enforce CHT checkpoints on fast-sync #106

@benbaley

Description

@benbaley

Rationale

Fast sync is susceptible to a grieving version of an eclipse attack, where a malicious remote node attempts to get a new Geth node to fast sync to some small chain, before a real heavy chain is discovered in the network. This results in Geth falling back to full sync for the main chain, taking too much time.

Implementation

ref ethereum/go-ethereum#19468
