Core db remove legacy phrases (#2468)
* Rename `newKvt()` -> `ctx.getKvt()`

why:
  Clean up legacy shortcut. Also, the `KVT` returned is not instantiated
  but refers to the shared `KVT` that resides in a context which is a
  generalisation of an in-memory database fork. The function `ctx`
  retrieves the default context.

* Rename `newTransaction()` -> `ctx.newTransaction()`

why:
  Clean up legacy shortcut. The transaction is applied to a context as a
  generalisation of an in-memory database fork. The function `ctx`
  retrieves the default context.

* Rename `getColumn(CtGeneric)` -> `getGeneric()`

why:
  No more a list of well known sub-tries needed, a single one is enough.
  In fact, `getColumn()` did only support a single sub-tree by now.

* Reduce TODO list

Consolidate block type for block processing (#2325)
This PR consolidates the split header-body sequences into a single EthBlock
sequence and cleans up the fallout from that which significantly reduces
block processing overhead during import thanks to less garbage collection
and fewer copies of things all around.

Notably, since the number of headers must always match the number of bodies,
we also get rid of a pointless degree of freedom that in the future could
introduce unnecessary bugs.

* only read header and body from era file
* avoid several unnecessary copies along the block processing way
* simplify signatures, cleaning up unused arguemnts and returns
* use `stew/assign2` in a few strategic places where the generated
  nim assignent is slow and add a few `move` to work around poor
  analysis in nim 1.6 (will need to be revisited for 2.0)

Core db disable legacy api n remove distinct tries (#2299)
* CoreDb: Remove crufty second/off-site KVT

why:
  Was used to allow late `Clique` to store directly to disk

* CoreDb: Remove prune flag related functionality

why:
  Is completely legacy stuff

* CoreDb: Remove dependence on legacy API (tests unsupported yet)

why:
  Does not fully support Aristo

* Re-factoring `state_db` using new API

details:
  Only minimum changes needed to compile `nimbus`

* Update tests and aux modules

* Turn off legacy API and remove `distinct_tries`

comment:
  The legacy API has now cruft status, will be removed soon

* Fix copyright years

* Update rpc for verified proxy

Add some basic rocksdb options to command line (#2286)
These options are there mainly to drive experiments, and are therefore
hidden.

One thing that this PR brings in is an initial set of caches and buffers for rocksdb - the set that I've been using during various performance tests to get to a viable baseline performance level.

Core db+aristo provides tracer funtionality (#2089)
* Aristo: Provide descriptor fork based on search in transaction stack

details:
  Try to find the tx that has a particular pair `(vertex-id,hash-key)`,
  and by extension try filter and backend if the former fails.

* Cleanup & docu

* CoreDb+Aristo: Implement context re-position to earlier in-memory state

why:
  It is a easy way to explore how there can be concurrent access to the
  same backend storage DB with different view states. This one can access
  an earlier state from the transaction stack.

* CoreDb+Aristo: Populate tracer stubs with real functionality

* Update `tracer.nim` to new API

why:
  Legacy API does not sufficiently support `Aristo`

* Fix logging problems in tracer

details:
  Debug logging turned off by default

* Fix function prototypes

* Add Copyright header

* Add tables import

why:
  For older compiler versions on CI

Unified database frontend integration (#1670)
* Nimbus folder environment update

details:
* Integrated `CoreDbRef` for the sources in the `nimbus` sub-folder.
* The `nimbus` program does not compile yet as it needs the updates
  in the parallel `stateless` sub-folder.

* Stateless environment update

details:
* Integrated `CoreDbRef` for the sources in the `stateless` sub-folder.
* The `nimbus` program compiles now.

* Premix environment update

details:
* Integrated `CoreDbRef` for the sources in the `premix` sub-folder.

* Fluffy environment update

details:
* Integrated `CoreDbRef` for the sources in the `fluffy` sub-folder.

* Tools environment update

details:
* Integrated `CoreDbRef` for the sources in the `tools` sub-folder.

* Nodocker environment update

details:
* Integrated `CoreDbRef` for the sources in the
  `hive_integration/nodocker` sub-folder.

* Tests environment update

details:
* Integrated `CoreDbRef` for the sources in the `tests` sub-folder.
* The unit tests compile and run cleanly now.

* Generalise `CoreDbRef` to any `select_backend` supported database

why:
  Generalisation was just missed due to overcoming some compiler oddity
  which was tied to rocksdb for testing.

* Suppress compiler warning for `newChainDB()`

why:
  Warning was added to this function which must be wrapped so that
  any `CatchableError` is re-raised as `Defect`.

* Split off persistent `CoreDbRef` constructor into separate file

why:
  This allows to compile a memory only database version without linking
  the backend library.

* Use memory `CoreDbRef` database by default

detail:
 Persistent DB constructor needs to import `db/core_db/persistent

why:
 Most tests use memory DB anyway. This avoids linking `-lrocksdb` or
 any other backend by default.

* fix `toLegacyBackend()` availability check

why:
  got garbled after memory/persistent split.

* Clarify raw access to MPT for snap sync handler

why:
  Logically, `kvt` is not the raw access for the hexary trie (although
  this holds for the legacy database)

Redesign of BaseVMState descriptor (#923)
* Redesign of BaseVMState descriptor

why:
  BaseVMState provides an environment for executing transactions. The
  current descriptor also provides data that cannot generally be known
  within the execution environment, e.g. the total gasUsed which is
  available not before after all transactions have finished.

  Also, the BaseVMState constructor has been replaced by a constructor
  that does not need pre-initialised input of the account database.

also:
  Previous constructor and some fields are provided with a deprecated
  annotation (producing a lot of noise.)

* Replace legacy directives in production sources

* Replace legacy directives in unit test sources

* fix CI (missing premix update)

* Remove legacy directives

* chase CI problem

* rebased

* Re-introduce 'AccountsCache' constructor optimisation for 'BaseVmState' re-initialisation

why:
  Constructing a new 'AccountsCache' descriptor can be avoided sometimes
  when the current state root is properly positioned already. Such a
  feature existed already as the update function 'initStateDB()' for the
  'BaseChanDB' where the accounts cache was linked into this desctiptor.

  The function 'initStateDB()' was removed and re-implemented into the
  'BaseVmState' constructor without optimisation. The old version was of
  restricted use as a wrong accounts cache state would unconditionally
  throw an exception rather than conceptually ask for a remedy.

  The optimised 'BaseVmState' re-initialisation has been implemented for
  the 'persistBlocks()' function.

also:
  moved some test helpers to 'test/replay' folder

* Remove unused & undocumented fields from Chain descriptor

why:
  Reduces attack surface in general & improves reading the code.

move stateDB from VMState to chainDB
previously, every time the VMState was created, it will also create
new stateDB, and this action will nullify the advantages of cached accounts.

the new changes will conserve the accounts cache if the executed blocks
are contiguous. if not the stateDB need to be reinited.

this changes also allow rpcCallEvm and rpcEstimateGas executed properly
using current stateDB instead of creating new one each time they are called.

Fearture/poa clique tuning (#765)
* Provide API

details:
  API is bundled via clique.nim.

* Set extraValidation as default for PoA chains

why:
  This triggers consensus verification and an update of the list
  of authorised signers. These signers are integral part of the
  PoA block chain.

todo:
  Option argument to control validation for the nimbus binary.

* Fix snapshot state block number

why:
  Using sub-sequence here, so the len() function was wrong.

* Optional start where block verification begins

why:
  Can speed up time building loading initial parts of block chain. For
  PoA, this allows to prove & test that authorised signers can be
  (correctly) calculated starting at any point on the block chain.

todo:
  On Goerli around blocks #193537..#197568, processing time increases
  disproportionally -- needs to be understand

* For Clique test, get old grouping back (7 transactions per log entry)

why:
  Forgot to change back after troubleshooting

* Fix field/function/module-name misunderstanding

why:
  Make compilation work

* Use eth_types.blockHash() rather than utils.hash() in Clique modules

why:
  Prefer lib module

* Dissolve snapshot_misc.nim

details:
  .. into clique_verify.nim (the other source file clique_unused.nim
  is inactive)

* Hide unused AsyncLock in Clique descriptor

details:
  Unused here but was part of the Go reference implementation

* Remove fakeDiff flag from Clique descriptor

details:
  This flag was a kludge in the Go reference implementation used for the
  canonical tests. The tests have been adapted so there is no need for
  the fakeDiff flag and its implementation.

* Not observing minimum distance from epoch sync point

why:
  For compiling PoA state, the go implementation will walk back to the
  epoch header with at least 90000 blocks apart from the current header
  in the absence of other synchronisation points.

  Here just the nearest epoch header is used. The assumption is that all
  the checkpoints before have been vetted already regardless of the
  current branch.

details:
  The behaviour of using the nearest vs the minimum distance epoch is
  controlled by a flag and can be changed at run time.

* Analysing processing time (patch adds some debugging/visualisation support)

why:
  At the first half million blocks of the Goerli replay, blocks on the
  interval #194854..#196224 take exceptionally long to process, but not
  due to PoA processing.

details:
  It turns out that much time is spent in p2p/excecutor.processBlock()
  where the elapsed transaction execution time is significantly greater
  for many of these blocks.

  Between the 1371 blocks #194854..#196224 there are 223 blocks with more
  than 1/2 seconds execution time whereas there are only 4 such blocks
  before and 13 such after this range up to #504192.

* fix debugging symbol in clique_desc (causes CI failing)

* Fixing canonical reference tests

why:
  Two errors were introduced earlier but ovelooked:
   1. "Remove fakeDiff flag .." patch was incomplete
   2. "Not observing minimum distance .." introduced problem w/tests 23/24

details:
  Fixing 2. needed to revert the behaviour by setting the
  applySnapsMinBacklog flag for the Clique descriptor. Also a new
  test was added to lock the new behaviour.

* Remove cruft

why:
  Clique/PoA processing was intended to take place somewhere in
  executor/process_block.processBlock() but was decided later to run
  from chain/persist_block.persistBlock() instead.

* Update API comment

* ditto

Feature/goerli replay clique poa (#743)
* extract unused clique/mining support into separate file

why:
  mining is currently unsupported by nimbus

* Replay first 51840 transactions from Goerli block chain

why:
  Currently Goerli is loaded but the block headers are not verified.
  Replaying allows real data PoA development.

details:
  Simple stupid gzipped dump/undump layer for debugging based on
  the zlib module (no nim-faststream support.)

  This is a replay running against p2p/chain.persistBlocks() where
  the data were captured from.

* prepare stubs for PoA engine

* split executor source into sup-modules

why:
  make room for updates, clique integration should go into
  executor/update_poastate.nim

* Simplify p2p/executor.processBlock() function prototype

why:
  vmState argument always wraps basicChainDB

* split processBlock() into sub-functions

why:
  isolate the part where it will support clique/poa

* provided additional processTransaction() function prototype without _fork_ argument

why:
  with the exception of some tests, the _fork_ argument is always derived
  from the other prototype argument _vmState_

details:
  similar situation with makeReceipt()

* provide new processBlock() version explicitly supporting PoA

details:
  The new processBlock() version supporting PoA is the general one also
  supporting non-PoA networks, it needs an additional _Clique_ descriptor
  function argument for PoA state (if any.)
  The old processBlock() function without the _Clique_ descriptor argument
  retorns an error on PoA networgs (e.g. Goerli.)

* re-implemented Clique descriptor as _ref object_

why:
  gives more flexibility when moving around the descriptor object

details:
  also cleaned up a bit the clique sources

* comments for clarifying handling of Clique/PoA state descriptor
