Aristo db api extensions for use as core db backend (#1754)
* Update docu

* Update Aristo/Kvt constructor prototype

why:
  Previous version used an `enum` value to indicate what backend is to
  be used. This was replaced by using the backend object type.

* Rewrite `hikeUp()` return code into `Result[Hike,(Hike,AristoError)]`

why:
  Better code maintenance. Previously, the `Hike` object was returned. It
  had an internal error field so partial success was also available on
  a failure. This error field has been removed.

* Use `openArray[byte]` rather than `Blob` in functions prototypes

* Provide synchronised multi instance transactions

why:
  The `CoreDB` object was geared towards the legacy DB which used a single
  transaction for the key-value backend DB. Different state roots are
  provided by the backend database, so all instances work directly on the
  same backend.

  Aristo db instances have different in-memory mappings (aka different
  state roots) and the transactions are on top of there mappings. So each
  instance might run different transactions.

  Multi instance transactions are a compromise to converge towards the
  legacy behaviour. The synchronised transactions span over all instances
  available at the time when base transaction was opened. Instances
  created later are unaffected.

* Provide key-value pair database iterator

why:
  Needed in `CoreDB` for `replicate()` emulation

also:
  Some update of internal code

* Extend API (i.e. prototype variants)

why:
  Needed for `CoreDB` geared towards the legacy backend which has a more
  basic API than Aristo.
