Improve full sync part behaviour 4 snap sync suite (#1564)
* Set maximum time for nodes to be banned.

why:
  Useless nodes are marked zombies and banned. They a kept in a table
  until flushed out by new connections. This works well if there are many
  connections. For the case that there are a few only, a maximum time is
  set. When expired, zombies are flushed automatically.

* Suspend full sync while block number at beacon block

details:
  Also allows to use external setting from file (2nd line)

* Resume state at full sync after restart (if any)

Prepare snap server client test scenario cont2 (#1487)
* Clean up some function prototypes

why:
  Simplify polymorphic prototype variances for easier maintenance.

* Fix fringe condition crash when importing bogus RLP node

why:
  Accessing non-list RLP entry as a list causes `Defect`

* Fix left boundary proof at range extractor

why:
  Was insufficient. The main problem was that there was no unit test for
  the validity of the generated left boundary.

* Handle incomplete left boundary proofs early

why:
  Attempt to do it later leads to overly complex code in order to prevent
  looping when the same peer repeats to send the same incomplete proof.

  Contrary, gaps in the leaf sequence can be handled gracefully with
  registering the gaps

* Implement a manual pivot setup mechanism for snap sync

why:
  For a test scenario it is convenient to set the pivot to something
  lower than the beacon header from the consensus layer. This does not
  need rely on any RPC mechanism.

details:
  The file containing the pivot specs is specified by the
  `--sync-ctrl-file` option. It is regularly parsed for updates.

* Fix calculation error

why:
  Prevent from calculating negative square root

Prepare snap server client test scenario (#1483)
* Enable `snap/1` accounts range service

* Allow to change the garbage collector to `boehm` as a Makefile option.

why:
  There is still an unsolved memory corruption problem that might be
  related to the standard `gc`. It seemingly goes away if the `gc` is
  changed to `boehm`.

  Specifying another `gc` on the make level simplifies debugging and
  development.

* Code cosmetics

details:
* updated exception annotations
* extracted `worker_desc.nim` from `full/worker.nim`
* etc.

* Implement option to state a sync modifier file

why:
  This allows to specify extra sync type specific options which might
  change over time. This file is regularly checked for updates.

* Implement a threshold when to suspend full syncing

why:
  For a test scenario, a full sync beep may work as a local snap server.
  There is no need to download the full block chain.

details:
  The file containing the pivot specs is specified by the
  `--sync-ctrl-file` option. It is regularly parsed for updates.
