Description
This PR rewrites
getNBlocksBackin OmmersValidation so that it does not usegetBlockByNumber.getBlockByNumberare out of the core flow of mantis (json rpc calls). This means that it opens a path to be able to switch the best branch just by changing a hash in the storage, and having the block number mapping built somewhere else. We can insert new blocks without rebuilding the index each time.
