Core db aristo hasher profiling and timing improvement (#1938)
* Explicitly use shared `Kvt` table on `Ledger` and `Clique` lookup.

why:
  Speeds up lookup time with `Aristo` backend. For writing `Clique` data,
  the `Companion` model allows to write `Clique` data past the database
  locked by evm transactions.

* Implement `CoreDb` profiling with API tracking

why:
  Chasing time spent per APT procs ...

* Implement `Ledger` profiling with API tracking

why:
  Chasing time spent per APT procs ...

* Always hashify when commiting or storing

why:
  A dirty cache makes no sense when committing

* Make sure that a zero key is created when adding/updating vertices

why:
  This is an error fix mainly for edge cases. A typical error was
  that the root key got deleted when there were only a few vertices
  left on the DB.

* Need all created and changed vertices zero-keyed on the cache

why:
  A zero key (i.e. empty Merkle hash) indicates that a vertex key
  needs to be updated. This would not be needed immediately after
  a merge as there is an actual leaf path on the cache layer. But
  after subsequent merge and delete operations this information
  might get blurred.

* Re-org hashing algorithm

why:
  Apart from errors, the previous implementation was too slow for
  two reasons:
  + some control hashes were calculated for debugging (now all
    verification is done in `aristo_check` module)
  + the leaf paths stored on the cache are used to build the
    labelling (aka hashing) schedule; there paths were accumulated
    over successive hash sessions although it is clear that all
    keys were generated, already

Aristo db update merkle hasher (#1925)
* Register paths for added leafs because of trie re-balancing

why:
  While the payload would not change, the prefix in the leaf vertex
  would. So it needs to be flagged for hash recompilation for the
  `hashify()` module.

also:
  Make sure that `Hike` paths which might have vertex links into the
  backend filter are replaced by vertex copies before manipulating.
  Otherwise the vertices on the immutable filter might be involuntarily
  changed.

* Also check for paths where the leaf vertex is on the backend, already

why:
  A a path can have dome vertices on the top layer cache with the
  `Leaf` vertex on  the backend.

* Re-define a void `HashLabel` type.

why:
  A `HashLabel` type is a pair `(root-vertex-ID, Keccak-hash)`. Previously,
  a valid `HashLabel` consisted of a non-empty hash and a non-zero vertex
  ID. This definition leads to a non-unique representation of a void
  `HashLabel` with either root-ID or has void. This has been changed to
  the unique void `HashLabel` exactly if the hash entry is void.

* Update consistency checkers

* Re-org `hashify()` procedure

why:
  Syncing against block chain showed serious deficiencies which produced
  wrong hashes or simply bailed out with error.

  So all fringe cases (mainly due to deleted entries) could be integrated
  into the labelling schedule rather than handling separate fringe cases.

Core db update api tracking (#1907)
* Fix copyright year

* Show elapsed times with enabled `CoreDb` API tracking

* Show elapsed times with enabled `LedgerRef` API tracking

* Reorg `CoreDb` auto destructors for `Aristo` DB

why:
  While `Aristo` supports some parallelism for concurrent database access,
  this comes with a price of management overhead. With a naive approach,
  the auto-destructor will slow down execution because the ledger and
  evm treat the database in a shared mode where a DB descriptor is just
  created and thrown away shortly after.

  This is reflected in the `Coredb` abstraction layer above `Aristo`/`Kvt`
  where a few `Shared` type descriptors are cached and a shared reference
  is returned rather than a disposable new object.

* For `CoreDb` support transaction level tracking

details:
  This is mainly an extra for the legacy DB as `Aristo` and `Kvt` support
  this already.

  Also return an error on the legacy DB backend when `persistent()` is
  called while there are transactions pending (the `persistent()` call
  does nothing otherwise on the legacy backend.)

* Clear compiler warnings (remove unused variables etc.)

Optional accounts cache module for creating genesis (#1897)
* 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

Core db and aristo updates for destructor and tx logic (#1894)
* Disable `TransactionID` related functions from `state_db.nim`

why:
  Functions `getCommittedStorage()` and `updateOriginalRoot()` from
  the `state_db` module are nowhere used. The emulation of a legacy
  `TransactionID` type functionality is administratively expensive to
  provide by `Aristo` (the legacy DB version is only partially
  implemented, anyway).

  As there is no other place where `TransactionID`s are used, they will
  not be provided by the `Aristo` variant of the `CoreDb`. For the
  legacy DB API, nothing will change.

* Fix copyright headers in source code

* Get rid of compiler warning

* Update Aristo code, remove unused `merge()` variant, export `hashify()`

why:
  Adapt to upcoming `CoreDb` wrapper

* Remove synced tx feature from `Aristo`

why:
+ This feature allowed to synchronise transaction methods like begin,
  commit, and rollback for a group of descriptors.
+ The feature is over engineered and not needed for `CoreDb`, neither
  is it complete (some convergence features missing.)

* Add debugging helpers to `Kvt`

also:
  Update database iterator, add count variable yield argument similar
  to `Aristo`.

* Provide optional destructors for `CoreDb` API

why;
  For the upcoming Aristo wrapper, this allows to control when certain
  smart destruction and update can take place. The auto destructor works
  fine in general when the storage/cache strategy is known and acceptable
  when creating descriptors.

* Add update option for `CoreDb` API function `hash()`

why;
  The hash function is typically used to get the state root of the MPT.
  Due to lazy hashing, this might be not available on the `Aristo` DB.
  So the `update` function asks for re-hashing the gurrent state changes
  if needed.

* Update API tracking log mode: `info` => `debug

* Use shared `Kvt` descriptor in new Ledger API

why:
  No need to create a new descriptor all the time

Aristo and ledger small updates (#1888)
* Fix debug noise in `hashify()` for perfectly normal situation

why:
  Was previously considered a fixable error

* Fix test sample file names

why:
  The larger test file `goerli68161.txt.gz` is already in the local
  archive. So there is no need to use the smaller one from the external
  repo.

* Activate `accounts_cache` module from `db/ledger`

why:
  A copy of the original `accounts_cache.nim` source to be integrated
  into the `Ledger` module wrapper which allows to switch between
  different `accounts_cache` implementations unser tha same API.

details:
  At a later state, the `db/accounts_cache.nim` wrapper will be
  removed so that there is only one access to that module via
  `db/ledger/accounts_cache.nim`.

* Fix copyright headers in source code

Aristo db update for short nodes key edge cases (#1887)
* Aristo: Provide key-value list signature calculator

detail:
  Simple wrappers around `Aristo` core functionality

* Update new API for `CoreDb`

details:
+ Renamed new API functions `contains()` => `hasKey()` or `hasPath()`
  which disables the `in` operator on non-boolean 	`contains()` functions
+ The functions `get()` and `fetch()` always return a not-found error if
  there is no item, available. The new functions `getOrEmpty()` and
  `mergeOrEmpty()` return an an empty `Blob` if there is no such key
  found.

* Rewrite `core_apps.nim` using new API from `CoreDb`

* Use `Aristo` functionality for calculating Merkle signatures

details:
  For debugging, the `VerifyAristoForMerkleRootCalc` can be set so
  that `Aristo` results will be verified against the legacy versions.

* Provide general interface for Merkle signing key-value tables

details:
  Export `Aristo` wrappers

* Activate `CoreDb` tests

why:
  Now, API seems to be stable enough for general tests.

* Update `toHex()` usage

why:
  Byteutils' `toHex()` is superior to `toSeq.mapIt(it.toHex(2)).join`

* Split `aristo_transcode` => `aristo_serialise` + `aristo_blobify`

why:
+ Different modules for different purposes
+ `aristo_serialise`: RLP encoding/decoding
+ `aristo_blobify`: Aristo database encoding/decoding

* Compacted representation of small nodes' links instead of Keccak hashes

why:
  Ethereum MPTs use Keccak hashes as node links if the size of an RLP
  encoded node is at least 32 bytes. Otherwise, the RLP encoded node
  value is used as a pseudo node link (rather than a hash.) Such a node
  is nor stored on key-value database. Rather the RLP encoded node value
  is stored instead of a lode link in a parent node instead. Only for
  the root hash, the top level node is always referred to by the hash.

  This feature needed an abstraction of the `HashKey` object which is now
  either a hash or a blob of length at most 31 bytes. This leaves two
  ways of representing an empty/void `HashKey` type, either as an empty
  blob of zero length, or the hash of an empty blob.

* Update `CoreDb` interface (mainly reducing logger noise)

* Fix copyright years (to make `Lint` happy)

Aristo db allow shorter than 64 nibbles path keys (#1864)
* Aristo: Single `FetchPathNotFound` error in `fetchXxx()` and `hasPath()`

why:
  Missing path hike returns too many detailed reasons why it failed
  which becomes cumbersome to handle.

also:
  Renamed `contains()` => `hasPath()` which disables the `in` operator on
  non-boolean 	`contains()` functions

* Kvt: Renamed `contains()` => `hasKey()`

why:
  which disables the `in` operator on non-boolean 	`contains()` functions

* Aristo: Generalising `HashID` by variable length `PathID`

why:
  There are cases when the `Aristo` database is to be used with
  shorter than 64 nibbles keys when handling transactions indexes
  with sequence IDs.

caveat:
  This patch only works reliable for full length `PathID` values. Tests
  for shorter `PathID` values are currently missing.

Aristo and core db updates (#1800)
* Aristo: remove obsolete functions

* Aristo: Fix error code for non-available hash keys

why:
  Must not return `not-found` when the key is not available (i.e. the
  current changes were not hashified, yet.)

* CoreDB: Provide TDD and test framework

Core db update providing additional results code interface (#1776)
* Split `core_db/base.nim` into several sources

* Rename `core_db/legacy.nim` => `core_db/legacy_db.nim`

* Update `CoreDb` API, dual methods returning `Result[]` or plain value

detail:
  Plain value methods implemet the legacy API, they defect on error results

* Redesign `CoreDB` direct backend access

why:
  Made the `backend` directive integral part of the API

* Discontinue providing unused or otherwise available functions

details:
+ setTransactionID() removed, not used and not easily replicable in Aristo
+ maybeGet() removed, available via direct backend access
+ newPhk() removed, never used & was experimental anyway

* Update/reorg backend API

why:
+ Added error print function `$$()`
+ General descriptor completion (and optional validation) via `bless()`

* Update `Aristo`/`Kvt` exception handling

why:
  Avoid `CatchableError` exceptions, rather pass them as error code where
  appropriate.

* More `CoreDB` compliant `Aristo` and `Kvt` methods

details:
+ Providing functions like `contains()`, `getVtxRc()` (returns `Result[]`).
+ Additional error code: `NotImplemented`

* Rewrite/reorg of Aristo DB constructor

why:
  Previously used global object `DefaultQidLayoutRef` as default
  initialiser. This object was created at compile time which lead to
  non-gc safe functions.

Aristo db api extensions for use as core db backend (#1754)
* Update docu

* Update Aristo/Kvt constructor prototype

why:
  Previous version used an `enum` value to indicate what backend is to
  be used. This was replaced by using the backend object type.

* Rewrite `hikeUp()` return code into `Result[Hike,(Hike,AristoError)]`

why:
  Better code maintenance. Previously, the `Hike` object was returned. It
  had an internal error field so partial success was also available on
  a failure. This error field has been removed.

* Use `openArray[byte]` rather than `Blob` in functions prototypes

* Provide synchronised multi instance transactions

why:
  The `CoreDB` object was geared towards the legacy DB which used a single
  transaction for the key-value backend DB. Different state roots are
  provided by the backend database, so all instances work directly on the
  same backend.

  Aristo db instances have different in-memory mappings (aka different
  state roots) and the transactions are on top of there mappings. So each
  instance might run different transactions.

  Multi instance transactions are a compromise to converge towards the
  legacy behaviour. The synchronised transactions span over all instances
  available at the time when base transaction was opened. Instances
  created later are unaffected.

* Provide key-value pair database iterator

why:
  Needed in `CoreDB` for `replicate()` emulation

also:
  Some update of internal code

* Extend API (i.e. prototype variants)

why:
  Needed for `CoreDB` geared towards the legacy backend which has a more
  basic API than Aristo.

Aristo db code massage n cosmetics (#1745)
* Rewrite remaining `AristoError` return code into `Result[void,AristoError]`

why:
  Better code maintenance

* Update import sections

* Update Aristo DB paths

why:
 More systematic so directory can be shared with other DB types

* More cosmetcs

* Update unit tests runners

why:
  Proper handling of persistent and mem-only DB. The latter can be
  consistently triggered by an empty DB path.

Aristo db state root repos and reorg (#1744)
* Reorg of distributed backend access

details:
  Now handled via API provided in `aristo_desc`.

* Rename `checkCache()` => `checkTop()`

why:
  Better naming for top layer cache checker

also:
  Provide cascaded fifos checker

* Provide `eq` directive for finding filter by exact filter ID (think block number)

* Some code beautification (for better code reading)

* State root reposition and reorg

details:
  Repositioning is supported by forking a new descriptor. Reorg is then
  accomplished by writing this forked state on the backend database.

  + Successively store filters with increasing filter ID (think block number)
  + Cascading through fifos, deeper fifos merge groups of filters
  + Fetch squash merged N top fifos
  + Delete N top fifos, push back merged fifo, continue storing
  + Fifo chain is verified by hashes and filter ID
* Not tested yet
  + Real live scenario (using data dumps)
  + Real filter data (only shallow filters used so far)

Aristo db fixes n updates needed for filter fifo (#1728)
* Set scheduler state as part of the backend descriptor

details:
  Moved type definitions `QidLayoutRef` and `QidSchedRef` to
 `desc_structural.nim` so that it shares the same folder as
  `desc_backend.nim`

* Automatic filter queue table initialisation in backend

details:
  Scheduler can be tweaked or completely disabled

* Updated backend unit tests

details:
+ some code clean up/beautification, reads better now
+ disabled persistent filters so that there is no automated filter
   management which will be implemented next

* Prettify/update unit tests source code

details:
  Mostly replacing the `check()` paradigm by `xCheck()`

* Somewhat simplified backend type management

why:
  Backend objects are labelled with a `BackendType` symbol where the
  `BackendVoid` label is implicitly assumed for a `nil` backend object
  reference.

  To make it easier, a `kind()` function is used now applicable to
  `nil` references as well.

* Fix DB storage layout for filter objects

why:
  Need to store the filter ID with the object

* Implement reverse [] index on fifo

why:
  An integer index argument on `[]` retrieves the QueueID (label) of the
  fifo item while a QueueID argument on `[]` retrieves the index (so
  it is inverse to the former variant).

* Provide iterator over filters as fifo

why:
  This iterator goes along the cascased fifo structure (i.e. in
  historical order)

Aristo db implement filter storage scheduler (#1713)
* Rename FilterID => QueueID

why:
  The current usage does not identify a particular filter but uses it as
  storage tag to manage it on the database (to be organised in a set of
  FIFOs or queues.)

* Split `aristo_filter` source into sub-files

why:
  Make space for filter management API

* Store filter queue IDs in pairs on the backend

why:
  Any pair will will describe a FIFO accessed by bottom/top IDs

* Reorg some source file names

why:
  The "aristo_" prefix for make local/private files is tedious to
  use, so removed.

* Implement filter slot scheduler

details:
  Filters will be stored on the database on cascaded FIFOs. When a FIFO
  queue is full, some filter items are bundled together and stored on the
  next FIFO.

Aristo db implement filter serialisation for storage (#1695)
* Remove concept of empty/blind filters

why:
  Not needed. A non-existent filter is is coded as a nil reference.

* Slightly generalised backend iterators

why:
 * VertexID as key for the ID generator state makes no sense
 * there will be more tables addressed by non-VertexID keys

* Store serialised/blobified vertices on memory backend

why:
  This is more in line with the RocksDB backend so more appropriate
  for testing when comparing behaviour. For a speedy memory database,
  a backend-less variant should be used.

* Drop the `Aristo` prefix from names `AristoLayerRef`, etc.

* Suppress compiler warning

why:
  duplicate imports

* Add filter serialisation transcoder

why:
  Will be used as storage format

* Implement distributed merge of backend filters

* Implement distributed backend access management

Aristo db integrate hashify into tx (#1679)
* Renamed type `NoneBackendRef` => `VoidBackendRef`

* Clarify names: `BE=filter+backend` and `UBE=backend (unfiltered)`

why:
  Most functions used full names as `getVtxUnfilteredBackend()` or
  `getKeyBackend()`. After defining abbreviations (and its meaning) it
   seems easier to use `getVtxUBE()` and `getKeyBE()`.

* Integrate `hashify()` process into transaction logic

why:
  Is now transparent unless explicitly controlled.

details:
  Cache changes imply setting a `dirty` flag which in turn triggers
  `hashify()` processing in transaction and `pack()` directives.

* Removed `aristo_tx.exec()` directive

why:
  Inconsistent implementation, functionality will be provided with a
  different paradigm.

Aristo db use filter betw backend and tx cache (#1678)
* Provide deep copy for each transaction layer

why:
  Localising changes. Selective deep copy was just overlooked.

* Generalise vertex ID generator state reorg function `vidReorg()`

why:
  makes it somewhat easier to handle when saving layers.

* Provide dummy back end descriptor `NoneBackendRef`

* Optional read-only filter between backend and transaction cache

why:
  Some staging area for accumulating changes to the backend DB. This
  will eventually be an access layer for emulating a backend with
  multiple/historic state roots.

* Re-factor `persistent()` with filter between backend/tx-cache => `stow()`

why:
  The filter provides an abstraction from the physically stored data on
  disk. So, there can be several MPT instances using the same disk data
  with different state roots. Of course, all the MPT instances should
  not differ too much for practical reasons :).

TODO:
  Filter administration tools need to be provided.

Aristo db refactor tx paradim (#1674)
* Better error handling

why:
  Bail out on some error as early as possible before any changes.

* Implement `fetch()` as opposite of `merge()`

rationale:
  In the `Aristo` realm, the action named `fetch()` and `merge()` indicate
  leaf value related actions on the MPT, while actions `get()` and `put()`
   handle vertex or hash key related operations that constitute the MPT.

* Re-factor `merge()` prototypes

why:
  The most used variant of `merge()` should have the simplest prototype.

* Persistent DB constructor needs to import `aristo/aristo_init/persistent`

why:
  Most applications use memory DB anyway. This avoids linking `-lrocksdb`
  or any other back end libraries by default.

* Re-factor transaction module

why:
  Got the paradigm wrong. The transaction descriptor did replace the
  database one but should be handled separately.

Aristo db traversal helpers (#1638)
* Misc fixes

detail:
* Fix de-serialisation for account leafs
* Update node recovery from unit tests

* Remove `LegacyAccount` from `PayloadRef` object

why:
  Legacy accounts use a hash key as storage root which is detrimental
  to the working of the Aristo database which uses a vertex ID.

* Dissolve `hashify_helper` into `aristo_utils` and `aristo_transcode`

why:
  Functions are of general interest so they should live in first level
  code files.

* Added left/right iterators over leaf nodes

* Some helper/wrapper functions that might be useful

why:
  For the main tree with root vertex ID 1, the leaf nodes hold the

  node ID of which must be registered here. There is no reverse key
  lookup on the backend.

note:
  These definitions are experimental. Also, there are some tests missing

Aristo db tidy up a bit (#1625)
* Slightly tighten some self-check conditions

* Redefined the database descriptor object as reference (to the object)

why:
  The upcoming transaction wrapper will work with a database reference
  rather than the object itself

* Append state before `save()` to the Aristo descriptor

why:
  This stae was previously returned by the function. Appending it to
  a field of the Aristo descriptor seems easier to handle.

Aristo db update delete functionality (#1621)
* Fix missing branch checks in transcoder

why:
  Symmetry problem. `Blobify()` allowed for encoding degenerate branch
  vertices while `Deblobify()` rejected decoding wrongly encoded data.

* Update memory backend so that it rejects storing bogus vertices.

why:
  Error behaviour made similar to the rocks DB backend.

* Make sure that leaf vertex IDs are not repurposed

why:
  This makes it easier to record leaf node changes

* Update error return code for next()/right() traversal

why:
  Returning offending vertex ID (besides error code) helps debugging

* Update Merkle hasher for deleted nodes

why:
  Not implemented, yet

also:
  Provide cache & backend consistency check functions. This was
  partly re-implemented from `hashifyCheck()`

* Simplify some unit tests

* Fix delete function

why:
  Was conceptually wrong

Aristo db update vertex caching when merging (#1606)
* Added missing deferred cleanup directive to sub-test functions

why:
  Rocksdb keeps the files locked for a short while leading to errors. This
  was previously solved my using different db sub-directories

* Provide vertex deep-copy function globally.

why:
  is just handy

* Avoid unnecessary vertex caching when merging proof nodes

also:
  Run all merge tests on the rocksdb backend
  Previously, proof node tests were run without backend

Aristo db update foreground caching (#1605)
* Fix vertex ID generator state handling for rocksdb backend

why:
 * Key error in walk iterator
 * Needs to be loaded when opening the database

* Use non-zero sub-table prefixes for rocksdb

why:
  Handy for debugging

* Fix error code for missing key on rocksdb backend

why:
  Previously returned `VOID_HASH_KEY` rather than `GetKeyNotFound`

* Explicitly copy vertex data between internal table and function/result argument

why:
  Function argument or return reference may still refer to the same data
  object.

* Updated error symbols

why:
  Error symbol names for the hike module now start with the prefix `Hike`.

* Write back modified branch node into local top layer cache

why:
  With the backend available, the source of the branch node references
  might not be the top layer cache. So any change must be explicitely
  recorded.

Aristo db with storage backends (#1603)
* Generalised Aristo DB constructor for any type of backend

details:
  * Records to be deleted are represented as key-void (rather than
    key-value) pairs by the put-function arguments
  * Allow direct driver access, iterators as example implementation and
    for testing.

* Provide backend storage interface

details:
  Stores the top layer onto backend tables

* Implemented Rocks DB backend

details:
  Transaction based `put()` functionality
  Iterators (based on direct RocksDB access)

Detach from snap/sync declarations & definitions (#1601)
why:
  Tests and some basic components were originally borrowed from the
  snap/sync implementation. These have fully been re-implemented.

Aristo db address sup trie items properly (#1600)
* Fix include

why:
  Eth67 not default yet so that got missed

* Rename `LeafKey` => `LeafTie`

why:
  Name is a pen picture of what this object is for. Also, it avoids the
  ubiquitous term `key`.

* Provided `getOrVoid()` wrapper for `getOrDefault()`

also:
  Provide `isValid()` syntactic sugar for `.isNil.not`, `!= 0` etc.
  Reorg descriptor source, split into sub-sources

* Bundled `NodeKey` objects with root ID and called it `HashLabel`

why:
  `NodeKey` (aka repurposed Hash265) objects are unique only within a
  particular sub-trie (e.g. storage slots) which are kept separated
  (i.e non-interleaved) by design. This is not applied to the backend
  as the map VertexID->NodeKey labelling the nodes needs not be injective.

  For the in-memory database (transaction) layers, the injective map
  VertexID->(VertexID,NodeKey) is used where the first field of the image
  tuple is the root ID of the sub-trie the `NodeKey` object is valid. So
  identical storage tries for different accounts can be represented.
