This PR introduces a node scheme abstraction. The interface is only implemented by `hashScheme` at the moment, but will be extended by `pathScheme` very soon.
Apart from that, a few changes are also included which is worth mentioning:
- port the changes in the stacktrie, tracking the path prefix of nodes during commit
- use ethdb.Database for constructing trie.Database. This is not necessary right now, but it is required for path-based used to open reverse diff freezer
This changes the CI / release builds to use the latest Go version. It also
upgrades golangci-lint to a newer version compatible with Go 1.19.
In Go 1.19, godoc has gained official support for links and lists. The
syntax for code blocks in doc comments has changed and now requires a
leading tab character. gofmt adapts comments to the new syntax
automatically, so there are a lot of comment re-formatting changes in this
PR. We need to apply the new format in order to pass the CI lint stage with
Go 1.19.
With the linter upgrade, I have decided to disable 'gosec' - it produces
too many false-positive warnings. The 'deadcode' and 'varcheck' linters
have also been removed because golangci-lint warns about them being
unmaintained. 'unused' provides similar coverage and we already have it
enabled, so we don't lose much with this change.
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.

Trim the search key from head as it's being pushed deeper into the trie. Previously the search key was never modified but each node kept information how to slice and compare it in keyOffset. Now the keyOffset is not needed as this information is included in the slice of the search key. This way the keyOffset can be removed and key manipulation
simplified.
The stacktrie is a bit un-untuitive, API-wise: since it mutates input values.
Such behaviour is dangerous, and easy to get wrong if the calling code 'forgets' this quirk. The behaviour is fixed by this PR, so that the input values are not modified by the stacktrie.
Note: just as with the Trie, the stacktrie still references the live input objects, so it's still _not_ safe to mutate the values form the callsite.
