// MessageHub is a central module for handling incoming and outgoing messages via consensus channel.
// It performs message routing for incoming messages by matching them by type and sending to respective engine.
// For incoming messages handling processing looks like this:
//
//	   +-------------------+      +------------+
//	-->| Consensus-Channel |----->| MessageHub |
//	   +-------------------+      +------+-----+
//	                         ------------|------------
//	   +------+---------+    |    +------+-----+     |    +------+------------+
//	   | VoteAggregator |----+    | Compliance |     +----| TimeoutAggregator |
//	   +----------------+         +------------+          +------+------------+
//	          vote                     block                  timeout object
//
// MessageHub acts as communicator and handles hotstuff.Consumer communication events to send votes, broadcast timeouts
// and proposals. It is responsible for communication between consensus participants.
// It implements hotstuff.Consumer interface and needs to be subscribed for notifications via pub/sub.
// All communicator events are handled on worker thread to prevent sender from blocking.
// For outgoing messages processing logic looks like this:
//
//	+-------------------+      +------------+      +----------+      +------------------------+
//	| Consensus-Channel |<-----| MessageHub |<-----| Consumer |<-----|        Hotstuff        |
//	+-------------------+      +------+-----+      +----------+      +------------------------+
//	                                                  pub/sub          vote, timeout, proposal
//
// MessageHub is safe to use in concurrent environment.
