Problem
For backward compatibility we need to allow trailing bytes in the packet after the shred payload.
The extra bytes are truncated in
Shred{Code,Data}::from_payload
:https://github.com/anza-xyz/agave/blob/744482070/ledger/src/shred/merkle.rs#L513
https://github.com/anza-xyz/agave/blob/744482070/ledger/src/shred/merkle.rs#L574
but that happens late after shred deduper which might allow duplicate shreds to pass through.
Summary of Changes
The commit updates
shred::wire::get_shred{,_mut}
to remove trailing bytes and excludes them from the deduper.
