* Update TDD suite logger output format choices
why:
New format is not practical for TDD as it just dumps data across a wide
range (considerably larder than 80 columns.)
So the new format can be turned on by function argument.
* Update unit tests samples configuration
why:
Slightly changed the way to find the `era1` directory
* Remove compiler warnings (fix deprecated expressions and phrases)
* Update `Aristo` debugging tools
* Always update the `storageID` field of account leaf vertices
why:
Storage tries are weekly linked to an account leaf object in that
the `storageID` field is updated by the application.
Previously, `Aristo` verified that leaf objects make sense when passed
to the database. As a consequence
* the database was inconsistent for a short while
* the burden for correctness was all on the application which led
to delayed error handling which is hard to debug.
So `Aristo` will internally update the account leaf objects so that
there are no race conditions due to the storage trie handling
* Aristo: Let `stow()`/`persist()` bail out unless there is a `VertexID(1)`
why:
The journal and filter logic depends on the hash of the `VertexID(1)`
which is commonly known as the state root. This implies that all
changes to the database are somehow related to that.
* Make sure that a `Ledger` account does not overwrite the storage trie reference
why:
Due to the abstraction of a sub-trie (now referred to as column with a
hash describing its state) there was a weakness in the `Aristo` handler
where an account leaf could be overwritten though changing the validity
of the database. This has been changed and the database will now reject
such changes.
This patch fixes the behaviour on the application layer. In particular,
the column handle returned by the `CoreDb` needs to be updated by
the `Aristo` database state. This mitigates the problem that a storage
trie might have vanished or re-apperaed with a different vertex ID.
* Fix sub-trie deletion test
why:
Was originally hinged on `VertexID(1)` which cannot be wholesale
deleted anymore after the last Aristo update. Also, running with
`VertexID(2)` needs an artificial `VertexID(1)` for making `stow()`
or `persist()` work.
* Cosmetics
* Activate `test_generalstate_json`
* Temporarily `deactivate test_tracer_json`
* Fix copyright header

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.)
