Felix Lange 924065e19d consensus/ethash: improve cache/dataset handling (#15864)
* consensus/ethash: add maxEpoch constant

* consensus/ethash: improve cache/dataset handling

There are two fixes in this commit:

Unmap the memory through a finalizer like the libethash wrapper did. The
release logic was incorrect and freed the memory while it was being
used, leading to crashes like in #14495 or #14943.

Track caches and datasets using simplelru instead of reinventing LRU
logic. This should make it easier to see whether it's correct.

* consensus/ethash: restore 'future item' logic in lru

* consensus/ethash: use mmap even in test mode

This makes it possible to shorten the time taken for TestCacheFileEvict.

* consensus/ethash: shuffle func calc*Size comments around

* consensus/ethash: ensure future cache/dataset is in the lru cache

* consensus/ethash: add issue link to the new test

* consensus/ethash: fix vet

* consensus/ethash: fix test

* consensus: tiny issue + nitpick fixes
