On demand mpt revisited (#2426)
* rebased from `github/on-demand-mpt`

ackn:
  wip: on-demand mpt construction

  Given that actual data is stored in the `Vertex` structure, it's useful
  to think of the MPT as a cache for computing roots rather than being a
  functional requirement on its own.

  This PR engenders this line of thinking by incrementally computing the
  MPT only when it's needed, ie when a state (or similar) root is needed.

  This has the effect of siginficantly reducing memory usage as well as
  improving performance:

  * no need for dirty-mpt-node book-keeping
  * no need to build complex forest of upcoming hashing work
  * only hashes that are functionally needed are ever computed -
  intermediate nodes whose MTP root is not observed are never computed /
  processed

* Unit test hot fixes

* Unit test hot fixes cont.

(somehow lost that part)
