Update storage tree admin (#2419)
* Tighten `CoreDb` API for accounts

why:
  Apart from cruft, the way to fetch the accounts state root via a
  `CoreDbColRef` record was unnecessarily complicated.

* Extend `CoreDb` API for accounts to cover storage tries

why:
  In future, this will make the notion of column objects obsolete. Storage
  trees will then be indexed by the account address rather than the vertex
  ID equivalent like a `CoreDbColRef`.

* Apply new/extended accounts API to ledger and tests

details:
  This makes the `distinct_ledger` module obsolete

* Remove column object constructors

why:
  They were needed as an abstraction of MPT sub-trees including storage
  trees. Now, storage trees are handled by the account (e.g. via address)
  they belong to and all other trees can be identified by a constant well
  known vertex ID. So there is no need for column objects anymore.

  Still there are some left-over column object methods wnich will be
  removed next.

* Remove `serialise()` and `PayloadRef` from default Aristo API

why:
  Not needed. `PayloadRef` was used for unstructured/unknown payload
  formats (account or blob) and `serialise()` was used for decodng
  `PayloadRef`. Now it is known in advance what the payload looks
  like.

* Added query function `hasStorageData()` whether a storage area exists

why:
  Useful for supporting `slotStateEmpty()` of the `CoreDb` API

* In the `Ledger` replace `storage.stateEmpty()` by 	`slotStateEmpty()`

* On Aristo, hide the storage root/vertex ID in the `PayloadRef`

why:
  The storage vertex ID is fully controlled by Aristo while the
  `AristoAccount` object is controlled by the application. With the
  storage root part of the `AristoAccount` object, there was a useless
  administrative burden to keep that storage root field up to date.

* Remove cruft, update comments etc.

* Update changed MPT access paradigms

why:
  Fixes verified proxy tests

* Fluffy cosmetics
