Since the latest release, Geth requires upon startup that the configured chain is known to be merged to PoS. This means that clique blocks can no longer be created.
This PR removes the associated code, and the
Clique
consensus object only retains logic to:Test cases which cover the import of a chain that has been merged part-way through depend on some of the removed logic to produce a test-chain with clique blocks in the pre-merge portion. Right now, I just yolo-remove those but it's probably worth isolating any required clique-logic for those somewhere internally.
