Modifications to allow allnodes users to use rocketarb.

Ramana did initial work in https://github.com/xrchz/rocketarb/commit/5a6a95eba750041ae5ba6b44fa08c35ca552848b and https://github.com/xrchz/rocketarb/commit/f1083a2d0f16a064e4bbebbfac92d6782acbe06d. However, the code was untested.

A while later, @landakram then fixed and tested the rough code (culminating with using it on mainnet) and made a PR with the fixes at Fix allnodes integration by landakram · Pull Request #11 · xrchz/rocketarb · GitHub
