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.

This PR implements the new LES protocol version extensions:
* new and more efficient Merkle proofs reply format (when replying to
a multiple Merkle proofs request, we just send a single set of trie
nodes containing all necessary nodes)
* BBT (BloomBitsTrie) works similarly to the existing CHT and contains
the bloombits search data to speed up log searches
* GetTxStatusMsg returns the inclusion position or the
pending/queued/unknown state of a transaction referenced by hash
* an optional signature of new block data (number/hash/td) can be
included in AnnounceMsg to provide an option for "very light
clients" (mobile/embedded devices) to skip expensive Ethash check
and accept multiple signatures of somewhat trusted servers (still a
lot better than trusting a single server completely and retrieving
everything through RPC). The new client mode is not implemented in
this PR, just the protocol extension.
