`CallResult` has a convenient spot for them which ties their lifetime to that of the transaction execution itself instead of pegging them to the account lifecycle - in particular, accounts are long-lived in the state database while logs are not and with this simplification, we no longer need to clear the account "manually" in the right spots. Conveniently, this helps simplify the base ledger API. |

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.)
