Find the author of a block.

The number of blocks back we should accept uncles. This means that we will deal with uncle-parents that are UncleGenerations + 1 before now.

A filter for uncles within a block. This is for implementing further constraints on what uncles can be included, other than their ancestry.

For PoW, as long as the seals are checked, there is no need to use anything but the VerifySeal implementation as the filter. This is because the cost of making many equivocating uncles is high.

For PoS, there is no such limitation, so a further constraint must be imposed beyond a seal check in order to prevent an arbitrary number of equivocating uncles from being included.

The OnePerAuthorPerHeight filter is good for many slot-based PoS engines.

An event handler for authored blocks.
