Testnet - v1.17.13

This is a Testnet release. It is not recommended for Mainnet Beta.

• The v1.17 minimum dynamic port range is now 14 so you may need to expand the range specified by --dynamic-port-range
  • This is expanded from the v1.16 minimum of 13
• Archive formats[bz2, gzip, tar, none] have been deprecated for the --snapshot-archive-format argument (#33484)
  • Existing snapshots with these formats can still be read, but solana-validator and solana-ledger-tool must be updated to use a different archive format. The recommended value is zstd, which is also the default if the --snapshot-archive-format argument is removed altogether
• Added --use-snapshot-archives-at-startup for faster validator restarts
