Protocol Changes

• Fix an unintended change introduced in 2.7.0-rc.1 that removed StateChangeCause enum variant from the middle. Nodes with 2.7.0-rc.1 are not able to answer state changes queries for old data if state changes include BandwidthSchedulerStateUpdate. (#13835)

Non-protocol Changes

• Fix a performance issue which sometimes caused nodes started from empty state (synchronized using epoch sync, not from a snapshot) to experience heavy CPU usage when serving header sync requests. (#13814)
