Proposal Progress: Downloading the Latest Snapshot to Test Block Generation

Thanks for all the supporters for Proposal: Fixing Steemd Build Dependencies in the Latest OS

Progress Update

I've let steemd run on WSL2 (Ubuntu20.04) for more than 5 days - currently it is at block height #7840000 - It will take months if I just wait for it to catch up.

Therefore I decided to download the snapshot from https://files.steem.fans/

My next steps:

1. Test witness block generation with the latest block
2. Remove ubuntu16.04 as it is OLD and insecure - no need to spend more time on this
3. Tidy up (use submodules to replace websocketpp, rocksdb etc). This will keep our codebase a lot slimer.
4. Fix tests.
