Feature/quadratic
A simple quadratic voting plugin, that takes a predecessor vote (and max vote) and applies a quadratic function to them. This has the effect of amplifying smaller votes and dampening larger ones.
Notes:
- This plugin can be composed with any other plugins, but should be used in association with a plugin that guarantees the uniqueness of the voters, in order to avoid sybil attacks.
- This PR adds rich JS clients for the Gateway and Quadratic plugins, allowing integrators to make calls such as
client.updateVoterWeightRecord(realm, mint, voter), and the client handles wiring up the predecessor accounts. - This PR updates solana to v1.17. Accordingly Soteria audit has been removed because it doesn't appear to support this version (it expects bpf-toolchain rather than sbf-toolchain). Please reinstate if possible.
- Finally, the PR includes a couple of scripts for testing or debugging the gateway and quadratic plugins
@dankelleher Thanks a lot for the PR. I am also interested in this, do you know if there is any plan in merging this PR? Anyone already using this plugin?

Not that I know of - merging is down to @SebastianBor . It has been a while since I delved into this tbh but IIRC it needed just a little refactoring and maybe testing and then it's good to go. I'm happy to help and advise where needed!
Just to point out, this is a very simple form of QV where there are no "multiple-choice" voting options yet. Supporting multiple choice proposals should probably be a separate PR.

It's a great example of stacked plugin implementation (and I want to keep it for that reason) but I think the solution is too complex for quadratic voting. A better solution would be to implement it directly in spl-gov. We could introduce a flag which would determine how voter_weight is applied.
However the most important thing would be to use the Civic gateway plugin with proof of uniqueness to prevent Sibyl attacks
