op-chain-ops

This package performs state surgery. It takes the following input:

1. A v0 database
2. A partial genesis.json
3. A list of addresses that transacted on the network prior to this past regenesis.
4. A list of addresses that performed approvals on prior versions of the OVM ETH contract.

It creates an initialized Bedrock Geth database as output. It does this by performing the following steps:

1. Iterates over the old state.
2. For each account in the old state, add that account and its storage to the new state after copying its balance from the OVM_ETH contract.
3. Iterates over the pre-allocated accounts in the genesis file and adds them to the new state.
4. Imports any accounts that have OVM ETH balances but aren't in state.
5. Configures a genesis block in the new state using genesis.json.

It performs the following integrity checks:

1. OVM ETH storage slots must be completely accounted for.
2. The total supply of OVM ETH migrated must match the total supply of the OVM ETH contract.

This process takes about two hours on mainnet.

Unlike previous iterations of our state surgery scripts, this one does not write results to a genesis.json file. This is for the following reasons:

1. Performance. It's much faster to write binary to LevelDB than it is to write strings to a JSON file.
2. State Size. There are nearly 1MM accounts on mainnet, which would create a genesis file several gigabytes in size. This is impossible for Geth to import without a large amount of memory, since the entire JSON gets buffered into memory. Importing the entire state database will be much faster, and can be done with fewer resources.

Compilation
