Intended as a complement to #1005, hoping to be cannibalized. This snippet demonstrates running geth natively without HTTP RPCs.

if key, err = crypto.GenerateKey(); err != nil {
return nil, err
}
stackConf.P2P.PrivateKey = key

May or may not have to do this. Needs more testing.

// ethCfg.Genesis = core.DefaultGenesisBlock() // eth will do this anyway when Genesis == nil is encountered, and the messaging it better that way.
// ethCfg.SyncMode = downloader.SnapSync // Supposed to be enabled with Berlin on April 14th 2021
// ethCfg.SyncMode = downloader.FastSync // The default
ethCfg.SyncMode = downloader.LightSync

Updated here after @JoeGruffins reminded me that fast != light. Much faster now. I'm leaning towards only enabling light mode to start, and then add snap mode option after Berlin.

I got the impression that snap sync was going to be the default after Berlin, but it could actually work now if other nodes are making snapshots. But that's aside because light is the way to go for client.

Incorporated into #1005. Closing.
