Coredb fix storage tree issues (#2317)
* Code cosmetics

* Re-org `aristo_merge`, internally split into sub-modules

why:
  Became a burden for maintenance because it hosts two different
  functionalities under the same merge paradigm: account/data merge
  and snap proof merge where the latter produces a partial trie.

* Fix CoreDb tracer

* Ledger: fix potential account vs. storage tree sync problems

* Remove bound on the size of removable whole storage trees

* Activate `test_tracer_json`

Core database replacement wrapper object

This wrapper replaces the TrieDatabaseRef and its derivatives by the new object CoreDbRef.

Relations to current TrieDatabaseRef implementation

Here are some incomplete translations for objects and constructors.

Object types:

Legacy notation CoreDbRef based replacement
ChainDB (don't use/avoid)
ChainDbRef CoreDbRef
TrieDatabaseRef CoreDbKvtRef
HexaryTrie CoreDbMptRef
SecureHexaryTrie CoreDbPhkRef
DbTransaction CoreDbTxRef
TransactionID CoreDbTxID

Constructors:

Legacy notation CoreDbRef based replacement
trieDB newChainDB("..") newCoreDbRef(LegacyDbPersistent,"..")
newMemoryDB() newCoreDbRef(LegacyDbMemory)
--
initHexaryTrie(db,..) db.mpt(..) (no pruning)
db.mptPrune(..) (w/pruning true/false)
--
initSecureHexaryTrie(db,..) db.phk(..) (no pruning)
db.phkPrune(..) (w/pruning true/false)
--
newCaptureDB(db,memDB) db.capture() (see below)

Usage of the replacement wrapper

Objects pedigree:

    CoreDbRef                        -- base descriptor
     | | |
     | | +--- CoreDbCtxRef           -- MPT context descriptor
     | |        | |
     | |        | +-- CoreDbMptRef   -- hexary trie instance
     | |        | |    :                    :
     | |        | +-- CoreDbMptRef   -- hexary trie instance
     | |        |
     | |        |
     | |        +---- CoreDbPhkRef   -- pre-hashed key hexary trie instance
     | |        |      :                    :
     | |        +---- CoreDbPhkRef   -- pre-hashed key hexary trie instance
     | |
     | |
     | +------ CoreDbKvtRef          -- single static key-value table
     |
     |
     +-------- CoreDbCaptRef         -- tracer support descriptor

Instantiating legacy standard database object descriptors works as follows:

    let
      db = newCoreDbRef(..)           # new base descriptor
      mpt = db.mpt(..)                # hexary trie/Merkle Patricia Tree
      phk = db.phk(..)                # pre-hashed key hexary trie/MPT
      kvt = db.kvt                    # key-value table

Tracer support setup by hiding the current CoreDbRef behind a replacement:

    let
      capture = db.capture()
      db = capture.recorder           # use the recorder in place of db
    ...

    for key,value in capture.recorder.kvt:
     ...                              # process recorded data
