Ha, famous last words, amirite?
%% The chain sequence/order checks at the bottom of this function aren't
%% as easy-to-read as they ought to be. However, I'm moderately confident
%% that it isn't buggy. TODO: refactor them for clarity.
So, now machi_chain_manager1:projection_transition_is_sane() is using
newer, far less buggy code to make sanity decisions.
TODO: Add support for Retrospective mode. TODO is it really needed?
Examples of how the old code sucks and the new code sucks less.

Old code is wrong: we've swapped order of a & b, which is bad.

Old code is wrong: a & b were repairing but UPI2 has a & b in the wrong order.
So, the PB style encoding of the Mpb_LL_WriteProjectionReq message
is about 35-36 times slower than using Erlang's term_to_binary()
and binary_to_term(). {sigh}
So, there's some cheating going on, because some of the parts of
the #projection_v1{} and #p_srvr{} records aren't fully specified.
Those parts are being specified as "opaque" in the field names, e.g.
optional bytes opaque_flap = 10;
optional bytes opaque_inner = 11;
required bytes opaque_dbg = 12;
required bytes opaque_dbg2 = 13;
The serialization that's being used is erlang term sexprs. That isn't
portable. So if/when we really need to deal with a non-Erlang
language, we'll have to straighten this out further.
