This removes the feature where top nodes of the proof can be elided.
It was intended to be used by the LES server, to save bandwidth
when the client had already fetched parts of the state and only needed
some extra nodes to complete the proof. Alas, it never got implemented
in the client.
This change renames StateTrie methods to remove the Try* prefix.
We added the Trie methods with prefix 'Try' a long time ago, working
around the problem that most existing methods of Trie did not return the
database error. This weird naming convention has persisted until now.

This changes the Trie interface to add the plain account address as a
parameter to all storage-related methods.
After the introduction of the TryAccount* functions, TryGet, TryUpdate and
TryDelete are now only meant to read an account's storage. In their current
form, they assume that an account storage is stored in a separate trie, and
that the hashing of the slot is independent of its account's address.
The proposed structure for a stateless storage breaks these two
assumptions: the hashing of a slot key requires the address and all slots
and accounts are stored in a single trie.
This PR therefore adds an address parameter to the interface. It is ignored
in the MPT version, so this change has no functional impact, however it
will reduce the diff size when merging verkle trees.
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
It seems there is no fully typed library implementation of an LRU cache.
So I wrote one. Method names are the same as github.com/hashicorp/golang-lru,
and the new type can be used as a drop-in replacement.
Two reasons to do this:
- It's much easier to understand what a cache is for when the types are right there.
- Performance: the new implementation is slightly faster and performs zero memory
allocations in Add when the cache is at capacity. Overall, memory usage of the cache
is much reduced because keys are values are no longer wrapped in interface.

With this commit, core/state's access to the underlying key/value database is
mediated through an interface. Database errors are tracked in StateDB and
returned by CommitTo or the new Error method.
Motivation for this change: We can remove the light client's duplicated copy of
core/state. The light client now supports node iteration, so tracing and storage
enumeration can work with the light client (not implemented in this commit).
