The EmptyRootHash and EmptyCodeHash are defined everywhere in the codebase, this PR replaces all of them with unified one defined in core/types package, and also defines constants for TxRoot, WithdrawalsRoot and UncleRoot
This change ports some changes from the main PBSS PR:
- get rid of callback function in `trie.Database.Commit` which is not required anymore
- rework the `nodeResolver` in `trie.Iterator` to make it compatible with multiple state scheme
- some other shallow changes in tests and typo-fixes
* trie: fix memory leak in trie iterator
In the trie iterator, live nodes are tracked in a stack while iterating.
Popped node states should be explictly set to nil in order to get
garbage-collected.
* trie: fix empty trie iterator
This change speeds up trie hashing and all other activities that require
RLP encoding of trie nodes by approximately 20%. The speedup is achieved by
avoiding reflection overhead during node encoding.
The interface type trie.node now contains a method 'encode' that works with
rlp.EncoderBuffer. Management of EncoderBuffers is left to calling code.
trie.hasher, which is pooled to avoid allocations, now maintains an
EncoderBuffer. This means memory resources related to trie node encoding
are tied to the hasher pool.

This functionality is needed in new path-based storage scheme, but
can be implemented in a seperate PR though.
When an account is deleted, then all the storage slots should be
nuked out from the disk as well. In hash-based storage scheme they
are still left in the disk but in new scheme, they will be iterated
and marked as deleted.
But why the NodeBlob API is needed in this scenario? Because when
the node is marked deleted, the previous value is also required to
be recorded to construct the reverse diff.

This change improves the efficiency of the nodeIterator seek
operation. Previously, seek essentially ran the iterator forward
until it found the matching node. With this change, it skips
over fullnode children and avoids resolving them from the database.
* ethdb: remove Set
Set deadlocks immediately and isn't part of the Database interface.
* trie: add Err to Iterator
This is useful for testing because the underlying NodeIterator doesn't
need to be kept in a separate variable just to get the error.
* trie: add LeafKey to iterator, panic when not at leaf
LeafKey is useful for callers that can't interpret Path.
* trie: retry failed seek/peek in iterator Next
Instead of failing iteration irrecoverably, make it so Next retries the
pending seek or peek every time.
Smaller changes in this commit make this easier to test:
* The iterator previously returned from Next on encountering a hash
node. This caused it to visit the same path twice.
* Path returned nibbles with terminator symbol for valueNode attached
to fullNode, but removed it for valueNode attached to shortNode. Now
the terminator is always present. This makes Path unique to each node
and simplifies Leaf.
* trie: add Path to MissingNodeError
The light client trie iterator needs to know the path of the node that's
missing so it can retrieve a proof for it. NodeIterator.Path is not
sufficient because it is updated when the node is resolved and actually
visited by the iterator.
Also remove unused fields. They were added a long time ago before we
knew which fields would be needed for the light client.
The 'step' method is split into two parts, 'peek' and 'push'. peek
returns the next state but doesn't make it current.
The end of iteration was previously tracked by setting 'trie' to nil.
End of iteration is now tracked using the 'iteratorEnd' error, which is
slightly cleaner and requires less code.
Make it so each iterator has exactly one public constructor:
- NodeIterators can be created through a method.
- Iterators can be created through NewIterator on any NodeIterator.
This commit adds pluggable consensus engines to go-ethereum. In short, it
introduces a generic consensus interface, and refactors the entire codebase to
use this interface.
This PR implements a differenceIterator, which allows iterating over trie nodes
that exist in one trie but not in another. This is a prerequisite for most GC
strategies, in order to find obsolete nodes.
* trie: store nodes as pointers
This avoids memory copies when unwrapping node interface values.

* trie: close temporary databases in GetDB benchmark
* trie: don't keep []byte from DB load around
Nodes decoded from a DB load kept hashes and values as sub-slices of
the DB value. This can be a problem because loading from leveldb often
returns []byte with a cap that's larger than necessary, increasing
memory usage.
