This change introduces garbage collection for the light client. Historical
chain data is deleted periodically. If you want to disable the GC, use
the --light.nopruning flag.

Transaction hashes now store a reference to their corresponding
block number as opposed to their hash. In benchmarks this was
shown to reduce storage by over 12 GB.
The main limitation of this approach is that transactions on
non-canonical blocks could never be looked up, however that is
currently not supported.
The database version has been upgraded to version 5 and the
transaction lookup process is backwards-compatible with the
prior two transaction lookup formats prexisting in the
database instance. Tests have been added to ensure this.
* core/rawdb: tiny review nit fixes
This PR is a more advanced form of the dirty-to-clean cacher (#18995),
where we reuse previous database write batches as datasets to uncache,
saving a dirty-trie-iteration and a dirty-trie-rlp-reencoding per block.
