This change allows the creation of a genesis block for verkle testnets. This makes for a chunk of code that is easier to review and still touches many discussion points.

The state availability is checked during the creation of a state reader.
- In hash-based database, if the specified root node does not exist on disk disk, then
the state reader won't be created and an error will be returned.
- In path-based database, if the specified state layer is not available, then the
state reader won't be created and an error will be returned.
This change also contains a stricter semantics regarding the `Commit` operation: once it has been performed, the trie is no longer usable, and certain operations will return an error.
The EmptyRootHash and EmptyCodeHash are defined everywhere in the codebase, this PR replaces all of them with unified one defined in core/types package, and also defines constants for TxRoot, WithdrawalsRoot and UncleRoot
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).
The 'step' method is split into two parts, 'peek' and 'push'. peek
returns the next state but doesn't make it current.
The end of iteration was previously tracked by setting 'trie' to nil.
End of iteration is now tracked using the 'iteratorEnd' error, which is
slightly cleaner and requires less code.
Make it so each iterator has exactly one public constructor:
- NodeIterators can be created through a method.
- Iterators can be created through NewIterator on any NodeIterator.
This PR implements a differenceIterator, which allows iterating over trie nodes
that exist in one trie but not in another. This is a prerequisite for most GC
strategies, in order to find obsolete nodes.
