Add early timeboost submission grace period #2788
Conversation
This allows the winner of the next round to submit their txs for that round during a short grace period at the end of the current round (2s by default). The call to timeboost_sendExpressLaneTransaction will not return, and the tx will not be sequenced, until the next round starts. This allows winners of the auction to take advantage of the full round without having to spam transactions around the round tickover time to ensure their transaction is included as soon as possible.

you can have weird conditions where currentRound is 7, byt by the time you computed timeTillNextRound currentRound became 8 and timeTillNextRound is now a full round's time.
easiest option would be to first take a timeStamp (time.Now) and then do both computations against that timestamp.
I'd also consider having some "expressLAneParams" that holds initialTimeStamp and roundDuration and has methonds like: timeTillNextRound (which takes no params) and timeTillNextRoundAt (which takes timestamp as param)

Fixed the race condition. Not sure if making the params an object with methods makes much difference in clarity so I haven't done it for now.
