merge: avoid hike allocations (#2472)
hike allocations (and the garbage collection maintenance that follows)
are responsible for some 10% of cpu time (not wall time!) at this point
- this PR avoids them by stepping through the layers one step at a time,
simplifying the code at the same time.

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.)
