Export State with Order Metadata

[czarcas7ic]

Background

Currently, when exporting mainnet state, we do not export any kind of order metadata. When calculating the app hash by hashing the module hashes, this order matters.

Suggested Design

• Export order metadata so we are constructing the Merkle tree in the same way we are on mainnet

Acceptance Criteria

TBD

Is this about the order of modules when exporting? Currently OrderExportGenesis not be set, so when exporting state returns the modules in appModules order.
I don't know if the current way is correct for the Merkle tree we are using. So pls lmk what u think

We can't state export such that we can reconstruct the same tree unfortunately, based on how "state export" is defined in cosmos-land. This is because state depends on the tree structure of IAVL, which itself depends on insertion order.

So state sync snapshots do this, and we can maybe create some way to apply modifications onto a state sync snapshot, which is a true "state export", unlike what we typically do.

No longer needed with in-place state modification tooling
