Late staging recovery

If you are staging this late, put a recent trusted_hash in the /etc/casper/1_5_8/config.toml to make sure you latch on.

This can be done automatically with:

NODE_ADDR=https://rpc.mainnet.casperlabs.io
PROTOCOL=1_5_8
sudo sed -i "/trusted_hash =/c\trusted_hash = '$(casper-client get-block --node-address $NODE_ADDR | jq -r .result.block.hash | tr -d '\n')'" /etc/casper/$PROTOCOL/config.toml

Then run the upgrade version with sudo /etc/casper/node_util.py force_run_version 1_5_8

If you are a validator, make sure you have not been evicted: https://docs.casper.network/operators/becoming-a-validator/recovering/
