v0.2.0

We're rolling out an update for dBFT that contains a substantial library interface refactoring. Starting from this version dBFT is shipped as a generic package with a wide range of generic interfaces, callbacks and parameters. No default payload implementations are supplied anymore, the library itself works only with payload interfaces, and thus users are expected to implement the minimum required set of payload interfaces by themselves. A lot of outdated and unused APIs were removed, some of the internal APIs were renamed, so that the resulting library interface is much more clear and lightweight. Also, the minimum required Go version was upgraded to Go 1.20.

Please note that no consensus-level behaviour changes introduced, this release focuses only on the library APIs improvement, so it shouldn't be hard for the users to migrate to the new interface.

Behaviour changes:

• add generic Hash/Address parameters to DBFT service (#94)
• remove custom payloads implementation from default DBFT service configuration (#94)
• rename InitializeConsensus dBFT method to Reset (#95)
• drop outdated dBFT Service interface (#95)
• move all default implementations to internal package (#97)
• remove unused APIs of dBFT and payload interfaces (#104)
• timer interface refactoring (#105)
• constructor returns some meaningful error on failed dBFT instance creation (#107)

Improvements:

• add MIT License (#78, #79)
• documentation updates (#80, #86, #95)
• dependencies upgrades (#82, #85)
• minimum required Go version upgrade to Go 1.19 (#83)
• log messages adjustment (#88)
• untie dbft module from github.com/nspcc-dev/neo-go dependency (#94)
• minimum required Go version upgrade to Go 1.20 (#100)
