core/filtermaps: only use common ancestor snapshots (#31668)
This PR makes the conditions for using a map rendering snapshot stricter
so that whenever a reorg happens, only a snapshot of a common ancestor
block can be used. The issue fixed in
#31642 originated from using
a snapshot that wasn't a common ancestor. For example in the following
reorg scenario: `A->B`, then `A->B2`, then `A->B2->C2`, then `A->B->C`
the last reorg triggered a render from snapshot `B` saved earlier. Now
this is possible under certain conditions but extra care is needed, for
example if block `B` crosses a map boundary then it should not be
allowed. With the latest fix the checks are sufficient but I realized I
would just feel safer if we disallowed this rare and risky scenario
altogether and just render from snapshot `A` after the last reorg in the
example above. The performance difference if a few milliseconds and it
occurs rarely (about once a day on Holesky, probably much more rare on
Mainnet).
Note that this PR only makes the snapshot conditions stricter and
`TestIndexerRandomRange` does check that snapshots are still used
whenever it's obviously possible (adding blocks after the current head
without a reorg) so this change can be considered safe. Also I am
running the unit tests and the fuzzer and everything seems to be fine.
