* 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)
* Refactoring in preparation for time-based forking.
* Timestamp-based hard-fork-transition.
* Workaround SideEffect issue / compiler bug for both failing locations in Portal history code

Add the new [Arrow Glacier fork](https://eips.ethereum.org/EIPS/eip-4345).
Only the difficulty calculation is changed, but as a new fork it still affects
a number of places in the code.
To the best of my knowledge the change is only scheduled on Mainnet.
In addition:
- The fork date comments in `chain_config.nim` have been checked against the
real networks, set consistently in UTC instead of random timezones, and made
neater. Maybe we'll keep these when transferring config to a file someday.
- It's added to forkid hash tests (EIP-2124/EIP-2364), of course.

this is a preparation for migration to confutils based config
although there is still some getConfiguration usage in tests code
it will be removed after new config arrived
