cc #605 #798
This PR significantly simplifies the implementations of the various
chainHead
functions, notably by removing duplicate information and using early returns.This is now possible thanks to #793.
I'm still not happy with the complexity of the main implementation of
chainHead_follow
, but this PR is a big enough step that it's worth merging.
