Update snap offline tests (#1199)
* Re-implemented `hexaryFollow()` in a more general fashion

details:
+ New name for re-implemented `hexaryFollow()` is `hexaryPath()`
+ Renamed `rTreeFollow()` as `hexaryPath()`

why:
  Returning similarly organised structures, the results of the
  `hexaryPath()` functions become comparable when running over
  the persistent and the in-memory databases.

* Added traversal functionality for persistent ChainDB

* Using `Account` values as re-packed Blob

* Repack samples as compressed data files

* Produce test data

details:
+ Can force pivot state root switch after minimal coverage.
+ For emulating certain network behaviour, downloading accounts stops for
  a particular pivot state root if 30% (some static number) coverage is
  reached. Following accounts are downloaded for a later pivot state root.

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  Also, the BaseVMState constructor has been replaced by a constructor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.

Jordan/accounts cache scenario (#904)
* crash test scenario

details:
  Example code for inspecting nested block chain and accounts cache
  database transaction framework. There seems to be a pathological
  case where the system crashes after a rollback (as appeared in the
  tx-pool packer code.)

* simplified crash scenario

* Workable solution (as suggested by Andri)

details:
  Avoiding db.rollback() (db.commit() is OK) while vmState.stateDB is
  alive.

* Rename text_txcrash => test_accounts_cache

why:
  Unit tests covers part of accounts_cache handling

* comment update
