Part of #87 (Full Node epic). Stage A — the snapshot-free sync engine.
Port Lotus chain/exchange (BlockSync, pure-Go libp2p protocol) so a Lantern full node boots without a snapshot:
- Anchor at a recent F3-finalized tipset (multi-source quorum — already built).
- BlockSync backward to backfill headers/messages the operator wants.
- Gossip for the head.
- Never import 76 GB, never re-exec from genesis.
Security angle (the pitch): a Lotus snapshot import trusts a single snapshot host for all pre-snapshot state. Lantern's anchor is a multi-source, F3-finalized, BLS-verified quorum — strictly stronger boot trust. "Full node, no snapshot, minutes not days."
