Changes featured in v2.1.1 release

Features:

• RPC Manager Implementation: Automatically switches to alternate RPCs during downtime.
• Block Monitor: Ensures correct block reporting and switches to the next best RPC if needed.
• Retry Mechanism Exit: Stops retries when state times out, allowing seamless state transitions.

Fixes:

• Fatal Logs Removal: Prevents panic in GetTxnOpts() due to nonce errors.
• Proposed Blocks Validation: Adds validation to ensure that the index of proposed blocks in the sorted proposed blocks array remains within limits.

Enhancements:

• Updated Dependencies: Synchronized with Go 1.23 and Geth 1.14.11.
• Expanded Config Ranges: Increased config parameter limits for greater flexibility.
• Optimized Transactions: Removed transaction mining status checks for voting transactions to improve state execution.
