Decrease additional cycles to 1
This MR aims to decrease the default number of additional cycles of history modes from 5 to 1. It means that then default behaviour of the node will be to keep 5 + 1 (as 5 cycles are always kept as the last allowed fork level is 5 cycle in the past), instead of 5 + 5.
Important notes
- This is not an issue for bakers. It may impact TRD users, but only the on doing late reward distributions. Maybe we should announce this in the baking slack #TRD channel(?)
- Users using the default full/rolling configuration will automatically switch to the "new default". Thus, they will transparently go from 5 to 1 cycle when restarting their node, without any notice.
