iotaledger/hornet v2.0.0-rc.1 on GitHub

First version targeted for the Shimmer network.
Implemented full Stardust protocol according to the Tangle Improvement Proposals.
Introduced new INX (IOTA Node eXtension) feature. This allows the core HORNET node to be extended with plugins written in any language supporting gRPC.
Several plugins were extracted as INX extensions (Dashboard, MQTT, Coordinator, Participation, Faucet, Spammer).
Removed app.enablePlugins and app.disablePlugins and replaced them with plugin-specific enabled settings.
Config files now always need to be specified with -c flag (even config.json), otherwise default parameters are used.
Private Tangle is now an easy-to-use docker compose setup.
The ledger state is no longer checked per default at startup.
Snapshots are now disabled by default.
Added hornet-nest docker for developers.
Added the possibility to log all REST API requests.
Added per endpoint prometheus metrics for the REST API.
Added network-bootstrap tool.
Block tips are now only refreshed during remote PoW if no parents were given.
Added mnemonic parameter to ed25519 key tool.
Adapted ed25519-key tool to print mnemonic and derived keys using slip10.
