* Rename `newKvt()` -> `ctx.getKvt()` why: Clean up legacy shortcut. Also, the `KVT` returned is not instantiated but refers to the shared `KVT` that resides in a context which is a generalisation of an in-memory database fork. The function `ctx` retrieves the default context. * Rename `newTransaction()` -> `ctx.newTransaction()` why: Clean up legacy shortcut. The transaction is applied to a context as a generalisation of an in-memory database fork. The function `ctx` retrieves the default context. * Rename `getColumn(CtGeneric)` -> `getGeneric()` why: No more a list of well known sub-tries needed, a single one is enough. In fact, `getColumn()` did only support a single sub-tree by now. * Reduce TODO list |

The file accounts_cache.nim has been relocated
Background
The new LedgerRef module unifies different implementations of the legacy accounts_cache. It is intended to be used as new base method for all of the AccountsCache implementations. The legacy accounts_cache version has been removed.
This was needed to accomodate for different CoreDb API paradigms. While the overloaded legacy AccountsCache implementation is just a closure based wrapper around the accounts_cache module, the overloaded AccountsLedgerRef is a closure based wrapper around the accounts_ledger module with the new CoreDb API returning Result[] values and saparating the meaning of trie root hash and trie root reference.
This allows to use the legacy hexary database (with the new CoreDb API) as well as the Aristo database (only supported on new API.)
