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.)

Instructions

Legacy notation	LedgerRef replacement	Comment
import accounts_cache	import ledger	preferred method,
AccountsCache.init(..)	AccountsCache.init(..)	wraps AccountsCache
		methods
	or
	import ledger/accounts_cache	stay with legacy
	AccountsCache.init(..)	version of
		AccountsCache
--
fn(ac: AccountsCache)	fn(ac: LedgerRef)	function example for
		preferred wrapper
	or	method
	fn(ac: AccountsCache)	with legacy version,
		no change here

The constructor decides which CoreDb API is to be used
