* Fix initialiser
why:
Possible crash (app profiling, tracer etc.)
* Update column family options processing
why:
Same for kvt as for aristo
* Move `AristoDbDualRocks` backend type to the test suite
why:
So it is not available for production
* Fix typos in API jump table
why:
Used for tracing and app profiling only. Needed some update
* Purged CoreDb legacy API
why:
Not needed anymore, was transitionary and disabled.
* Rename `flush` argument to `eradicate` in a DB close context
why:
The word `eradicate` leaves no doubt what is meant
* Rename `stoFlush()` -> `stoDelete()`
* Rename `core_apps_newapi` -> `core_apps` (not so new anymore)
`initTable` is obsolete since nim 0.19 and can introduce significant
memory overhead while providing no benefit (since the table will be
grown to the default initial size on first use anyway).
In particular, aristo layers will not necessarily use all tables they
initialize, for exampe when many empty accounts are being created.
* 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

`persist` is a hotspot when processing blocks because it is run at least
once per transaction and loops over the entire account cache every time.
Here, we introduce an extra `dirty` map that keeps track of all accounts
that need checking during `persist` which fixes the immediate
inefficiency, though probably this could benefit from a more thorough
review - we also get rid of the unused clearCache flag - we start with
a fresh cache on every fresh vmState.
* avoid unnecessary code hash comparisons
* avoid unnecessary copies when iterating
* use EMPTY_CODE_HASH throughout for code hash comparison
* Initial implementation of eth_getProof endpoint.
* Implemented generation of account and storage proofs.
* Minor fixes and additional tests.
* Refactor getBranch code into a separate file.
* Improve usage of test data.
* Fix copyright year.
* Return zero hash for codeHash and storageHash if account doesn't exist.
* Update copyright notice and moved trie key hashing to inside getBranch proc.
* Using different `tmp` directories for `Kvt` and `Aristo`
why:
Closing one database would leave the other set of directories
incomplete.
* Code cosmetics, silence compiler
* Fix typo `EMPTY_ROOT_HASH` vs. `EMPTY_CODE_HASH`
* Fix copyright years
* Split off `ReadOnlyStateDB` from `AccountStateDB` from `state_db.nim`
why:
Apart from testing, applications use `ReadOnlyStateDB` as an easy
way to access the accounts ledger. This is well supported by the
`Aristo` db, but writable mode is only parially supported.
The writable AccountStateDB` object for modifying accounts is not
used by production code.
So, for lecgacy and testing apps, the full support of the previous
`AccountStateDB` is now enabled by `import db/state_db/read_write`
and the `import db/state_db` provides read-only mode.
* Encapsulate `AccountStateDB` as `GenesisLedgerRef` or genesis creation
why:
`AccountStateDB` has poor support for `Aristo` and is not widely used
in favour of `AccountsLedger` (which will be abstracted as `ledger`.)
Currently, using other than the `AccountStateDB` ledgers within the
`GenesisLedgerRef` wrapper is experimental and test only. Eventually,
the wrapper should disappear so that the `Ledger` object (which
encapsulates `AccountsCache` and `AccountsLedger`) will prevail.
* For the `Ledger`, provide access to raw accounts `MPT`
why:
This gives to the `CoreDbMptRef` descriptor from the `CoreDb` (which is
the legacy version of CoreDxMptRef`.) For the new `ledger` API, the
accounts are based on the `CoreDxMAccRef` descriptor which uses a
particular sub-system for accounts while legacy applications use the
`CoreDbPhkRef` equivalent of the `SecureHexaryTrie`.
The only place where this feature will currently be used is the
`genesis.nim` source file.
* Fix `Aristo` bugs, missing boundary checks, typos, etc.
* Verify root vertex in `MPT` and account constructors
why:
Was missing so far, in particular the accounts constructor must
verify `VertexID(1)
* Fix include file
