This kind of data is not used except in tests where it is used only to
create databases that don't match actual usage of aristo.
Removing simplifies future optimizations that can focus on processing
specific leaf types more efficiently.
A casualty of this removal is some test code as well as some proof
generation code that is unused - on the surface, it looks like it should
be possible to port both of these to the more specific data types -
doing so would ensure that a database written by one part of the
codebase can interact with the other - as it stands, there is confusion
on this point since using the proof generation code will result in a
database of a shape that is incompatible with the rest of eth1.
* move pfx out of variant which avoids pointless field type panic checks
and copies on access
* make `VertexRef` a non-inheritable object which reduces its memory
footprint and simplifies its use - it's also unclear from a semantic
point of view why inheritance makes sense for storing keys
detail:
For practical reasons, ifsuch an account is asked for a slot, an empty
proof list is returned. It is up to the user to provide an account
proof that shows that there is no storage tree.
* Provide portal proof functions in `aristo_api`
why:
So it can be fully supported by `CoreDb`
* Fix prototype in `kvt_api`
* Fix node constructor for account leafs with storage trees
* Provide simple path check based on portal proof functionality
* Provide portal proof functionality in `CoreDb`
* Update TODO list
* Extracted `test_tx.testTxMergeProofAndKvpList()` => separate file
* Fix serialiser
why:
Typo lead to duplicate rlp-encoded nodes in chain
* Remove cruft
* Implemnt portal proof nodes generators `partXxxTwig()`
* Add unit test for portal proof nodes generator `partAccountTwig()`
* Cosmetics
* Simplify serialiser return code format
* Fix proof generator for extension nodes
why:
Code was simply bonkers, not detected before the unit tests were
adapted to check for just this.
* Implemented portal proof nodes verifier `partUntwig()`
* Cosmetics
* Fix `testutp` cli poblem
* Implement partial trees
why:
This is currently needed for unit tests to pre-load the database
with test data similar to `proof` node pre-load.
The basic features for `snap-sync` boundary proofs are available
as well for future use. What is missing is the final proof verification
and a complete storage data load/merge function (stub is available.)
* Cosmetics, clean up
