Cache code and invalid jump destination tables (fixes #2268) (#2404)
It is common for many accounts to share the same code - at the database
level, code is stored by hash meaning only one copy exists per unique
program but when loaded in memory, a copy is made for each account.

Further, every time we execute the code, it must be scanned for invalid
jump destinations which slows down EVM exeuction.

Finally, the extcodesize call causes code to be loaded even if only the
size is needed.

This PR improves on all these points by introducing a shared
CodeBytesRef type whose code section is immutable and that can be shared
between accounts. Further, a dedicated `len` API call is added so that
the EXTCODESIZE opcode can operate without polluting the GC and code
cache, for cases where only the size is requested - rocksdb will in this
case cache the code itself in the row cache meaning that lookup of the
code itself remains fast when length is asked for first.

With 16k code entries, there's a 90% hit rate which goes up to 99%
during the 2.3M attack - the cache significantly lowers memory
consumption and execution time not only during this event but across the
board.

EVM state transition tool

The t8n tool is a stateless state transition utility.

Build instructions

There are few options to build t8n tool like any other nimbus tools.

  1. Use your system Nim compiler(v1.6.12) and git to install dependencies.
    $> git submodule update --init --recursive
    $> ./env.sh (run once to generate nimbus-build-system.paths)
    $> nim c -d:release -d:chronicles_default_output_device=stderr tools/t8n/t8n
    $> nim c -r -d:release tools/t8n/t8n_test
    
  2. Use nimbus shipped Nim compiler and dependencies.
    $> make update deps
    $> ./env.sh nim c -d:release -d:chronicles_default_output_device=stderr tools/t8n/t8n
    $> ./env.sh nim c -r -d:release tools/t8n/t8n_test
    
  3. Use nimbus makefile.
    $> make update
    $> make t8n
    $> make t8n_test

Usage:

t8n [OPTIONS]...

The following options are available:

 --trace                 Enable and set where to put full EVM trace logs [=disabled].
                             `stdout` - into the stdout output.
                             `stderr` - into the stderr output.
                             <file>   - into the file <file>-<txIndex>.jsonl.
                             none     - output.basedir/trace-<txIndex>-<txhash>.jsonl.
 --trace.memory          Enable full memory dump in traces [=false].
 --trace.nostack         Disable stack output in traces [=false].
 --trace.returndata      Enable return data output in traces [=false].
 --output.basedir        Specifies where output files are placed. Will be created if it does not exist.
 --output.body           If set, the RLP of the transactions (block body) will be written to this file.
 --output.alloc          Determines where to put the `alloc` of the post-state. [=alloc.json].
                             `stdout` - into the stdout output.
                             `stderr` - into the stderr output.
                             <file>   - into the file <file>.
 --output.result         Determines where to put the `result` (stateroot, txroot etc) of the post-state.
                             [=result.json].
                             `stdout` - into the stdout output.
                             `stderr` - into the stderr output.
                             <file>   - into the file <file>.
 --input.alloc           `stdin` or file name of where to find the prestate alloc to use. [=alloc.json].
 --input.env             `stdin` or file name of where to find the prestate env to use. [=env.json].
 --input.txs             `stdin` or file name of where to find the transactions to apply. If the file
                             extension is '.rlp', then the data is interpreted as an RLP list of signed
                             transactions. The '.rlp' format is identical to the output.body format.
                             [=txs.json].
 --state.reward          Mining reward. Set to -1 to disable [=0].
