What was wrong?
State Bridge only supports gossiping blocks starting from 0.
We know that content from first ~500'000 blocks are saturated, and we might want to skip them to speed up the process.
How was it fixed?
Add support for range gossip.
We will still execute blocks starting from zero, but we will gossip only blocks from the range.
Specifying single block would imply gossiping all blocks starting from zero and ending with provided block.
This was left unmodified for backward compatibility, until we upgrade deployment scripts.
In my opinion, single block should gossip entire state trie at the specified block (but this requires more work).
