* Aristo+Kvt: Fix backend `dup()` function in api setup why: Backend object is subject to an inheritance cascade which was not taken care of, before. Only the base object was duplicated. * Kvt: Simplify DB clone/peers management * Aristo: Simplify DB clone/peers management * Aristo: Adjust unit test for working with memory DB only why: This currently causes some memory corruption persumably in the `libc` background layer. * CoredDb+Kvt: Simplify API for KVT why: Simplified storage models (was over engineered) for better performance and code maintenance. * CoredDb+Aristo: Simplify API for `Aristo` why: Only single database state needed here. Accessing a similar state will be implemented from outside this module using a context layer. This gives better performance and improves code maintenance. * Fix Copyright headers * CoreDb: Turn off API tracking why: CI would ot go through. Was accidentally turned on. |

Background
The new LedgerRef module unifies different implementations of the accounts_cache. It is intended to be used as new base method for all of the AccountsCache implementations. Only constructors differ, depending on the implementation.
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.)
