* 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

These options are there mainly to drive experiments, and are therefore
hidden.
One thing that this PR brings in is an initial set of caches and buffers for rocksdb - the set that I've been using during various performance tests to get to a viable baseline performance level.
* CoreDb: Provide default db backend symbols
why:
Handy for running `Aristo` against standard tests
note:
These defaults are currently set to legacy DB types. The must be
enabled manually in `db/core_db.nim`.
* Provide `Aristo` for macro assembler related tests
caveat:
Some tests use `initStorageTrie()` which lets `Aristo` bail out. The
test need to run on `distinct_ledgers` (or something like) rather than
`distinct_tries`.
* Tests: Misc modules that can run on `Aristo` as well
* NoHive: Module that can run on `Aristo` as well
* Fix copyright year
* ditto
* Nimbus folder environment update
details:
* Integrated `CoreDbRef` for the sources in the `nimbus` sub-folder.
* The `nimbus` program does not compile yet as it needs the updates
in the parallel `stateless` sub-folder.
* Stateless environment update
details:
* Integrated `CoreDbRef` for the sources in the `stateless` sub-folder.
* The `nimbus` program compiles now.
* Premix environment update
details:
* Integrated `CoreDbRef` for the sources in the `premix` sub-folder.
* Fluffy environment update
details:
* Integrated `CoreDbRef` for the sources in the `fluffy` sub-folder.
* Tools environment update
details:
* Integrated `CoreDbRef` for the sources in the `tools` sub-folder.
* Nodocker environment update
details:
* Integrated `CoreDbRef` for the sources in the
`hive_integration/nodocker` sub-folder.
* Tests environment update
details:
* Integrated `CoreDbRef` for the sources in the `tests` sub-folder.
* The unit tests compile and run cleanly now.
* Generalise `CoreDbRef` to any `select_backend` supported database
why:
Generalisation was just missed due to overcoming some compiler oddity
which was tied to rocksdb for testing.
* Suppress compiler warning for `newChainDB()`
why:
Warning was added to this function which must be wrapped so that
any `CatchableError` is re-raised as `Defect`.
* Split off persistent `CoreDbRef` constructor into separate file
why:
This allows to compile a memory only database version without linking
the backend library.
* Use memory `CoreDbRef` database by default
detail:
Persistent DB constructor needs to import `db/core_db/persistent
why:
Most tests use memory DB anyway. This avoids linking `-lrocksdb` or
any other backend by default.
* fix `toLegacyBackend()` availability check
why:
got garbled after memory/persistent split.
* Clarify raw access to MPT for snap sync handler
why:
Logically, `kvt` is not the raw access for the hexary trie (although
this holds for the legacy database)
