Fast randomness

[webmaster128]

Closes #248

Just reviewed this looks super amazing. Well done.
One suggestion maybe for the future, maybe for now. How about removing the INCENTIVISED_ROUNDS entries when the slowest incentivised bot submits the randomness.
So first bot submits then second then third .... the 6th bot removes the KV entry.

Good idea! I started adding it but I think it's better to do it as part of #154. Then we can do all cleanups for a round together and bump config.min_round as a way to finalize those rounds.

This is not only for cleanup but also to make sure new bots don't try to submit to that requested round. or is that already the case because after the 6th it becomes not incentivised ?

This part does not change:

    // Check if the bot is fast enough to get an incentive
    if submissions_count < NUMBER_OF_INCENTIVES_PER_ROUND {
        reward_points += INCENTIVE_POINTS_FOR_FAST_BOT;
    }

So for both mod10 rounds and job rounds we have up to 6 incentivised submissions

Okay clear, thanks
