Polygon upgrades/fixes

Warning Don't use v2.49.0 on the Polygon Main Net until further Notice

We have discovered an issue with v2.49.0 which causes Erigon to falsely identify blocks as bad. Once this occurs the attempted delivery of the good block will fail stalling the download process.

We are currently investigating the issue and will release an update once this is resolved.

• Bor sync events now included in Erigon snapshots
• Support for prometheus type metadata
• Minor compatibility merges from polygon erigon fork
