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.
