Avoid updating the block gap when it's unchanged #5540
Conversation
Previously, the block gap storage could be updated even when the gap is the same as before. This patch fixes it by only updating the storage when the gap is changed.
Pure tiny refactoring, no logical changes. The benefit of consistent format strings is 10 lines of deletion. The other style changes are added by the rust formatter.

Previously, the block gap state in `BlockchainDb` in unconditionally updated whenever `try_commit_operation` is invoked, even if the state hadn't changed. This commit refines the logic to update the block gap state only when a change occurs, reducing unnecessary writes and improving efficiency.

I'm not too familiar with this part of the codebase. Overall looks good, but I don't know if block gap can be updated in the db from other places.
@davxy can you have a look, please?

Are you sure the block gap can't be updated externally and returned from self.blockchain.meta.read()?

Yes, I'm pretty sure that update_block_gap() is the only way to update the gap in meta and it's only invoked at the end of try_commit_operation().

Not related nit: In below condition number > best_num + One::one() implies number >One::one().
So the second condition can be removed

There are basically three commits in this PR. Since all these commits essentially have no logical changes, I packed them into one PR. Review by per-commit is recommended.
