/// `Synchronizer` oversees live block synchronization, crucial for node progress. Live synchronization
/// refers to the process of retrieving missing blocks, particularly those essential for advancing a node
/// when data from only a few rounds is absent. If a node significantly lags behind the network,
/// `commit_syncer` handles fetching missing blocks via a more efficient approach. `Synchronizer`
/// aims for swift catch-up employing two mechanisms:
///
/// 1. Explicitly requesting missing blocks from designated authorities via the "block send" path.
///    This includes attempting to fetch any missing ancestors necessary for processing a received block.
///    Such requests prioritize the block author, maximizing the chance of prompt retrieval.
///    A locking mechanism allows concurrent requests for missing blocks from up to two authorities
///    simultaneously, enhancing the chances of timely retrieval. Notably, if additional missing blocks
///    arise during block processing, requests to the same authority are deferred to the scheduler.
///
/// 2. Periodically requesting missing blocks via a scheduler. This primarily serves to retrieve
///    missing blocks that were not ancestors of a received block via the "block send" path.
///    The scheduler operates on either a fixed periodic basis or is triggered immediately
///    after explicit fetches described in (1), ensuring continued block retrieval if gaps persist.
///
/// Additionally to the above, the synchronizer can synchronize and fetch the last own proposed block
/// from the network peers as best effort approach to recover node from amnesia and avoid making the
/// node equivocate.
