Summary

Validators should ensure that block size should not exceed MaxBytes defined in the consensus params

Problem Definition

This check was originally in place but was unfortunately inadvertently removed when migrating to protobuf. There is logic on the proposer side to ensure that the block is of the correct size but if the proposer were to bypass it, it allows them to create blocks of any size where the other validators would approve of it. This only applies for 0.34.

As a side note we should also check to make sure that none of the other validation logic was affected by the protobuf migration.

Proposal

Reimplement the check here:
