This workaround is meant to minimize the possibility for snapshot generation
once the geth node upgrades to new version (specifically #30752 )
In #30752, the journal format in state snapshot is modified by removing
the destruct set. Therefore, the existing old format (version = 0) will be
discarded and all in-memory layers will be lost. Unfortunately, the lost
in-memory layers can't be recovered by some other approaches, and the
entire state snapshot will be regenerated (it will last about 2.5 hours).
This pull request introduces a workaround to adopt the legacy journal if
the destruct set contained is empty. Since self-destruction has been
deprecated following the cancun fork, the destruct set is expected to be nil for
layers above the fork block. However, an exception occurs during contract
deployment: pre-funded accounts may self-destruct, causing accounts with
non-zero balances to be removed from the state. For example,
https://etherscan.io/tx/0xa087333d83f0cd63b96bdafb686462e1622ce25f40bd499e03efb1051f31fe49).
For nodes with a fully synced state, the legacy journal is likely compatible with
the updated definition, eliminating the need for regeneration. Unfortunately,
nodes performing a full sync of historical chain segments or encountering
pre-funded account deletions may face incompatibilities, leading to automatic
snapshot regeneration.
This reverts commit 23800122b3.
The original pull request introduces a bug and some flaky tests are
detected because of this flaw.

Before the original PR, the snapshot would block the function until the
disk layer
was fully generated under the following conditions:
(a) explicitly required by users with `AsyncBuild = false`.
(b) the snapshot was being fully rebuilt or *the disk layer generation
had resumed*.
Unfortunately, with the changes introduced in that PR, the snapshot no
longer waits
for disk layer generation to complete if the generation is resumed. It
brings lots of
uncertainty and breaks this tiny debug feature.
This PR is purely for improved readability; I was doing work involving
the file and think this may help others who are trying to understand
what's going on.
1. `snapshot.Tree.Rebuild()` now returns a function that blocks until
regeneration is complete, allowing `Tree.waitBuild()` to be removed
entirely as all it did was search for the `done` channel behind this new
function.
2. Its usage inside `New()` is also simplified by (a) only waiting if
`!AsyncBuild`; and (b) avoiding the double negative of `if !NoBuild`.

This pull request removes the destruct flag from the state snapshot to
simplify the code.
Previously, this flag indicated that an account was removed during a
state transition, making all associated storage slots inaccessible.
Because storage deletion can involve a large number of slots, the actual
deletion is deferred until the end of the process, where it is handled
in batches.
With the deprecation of self-destruct in the Cancun fork, storage
deletions are no longer expected. Historically, the largest storage
deletion event in Ethereum was around 15 megabytes—manageable in memory.
In this pull request, the single destruct flag is replaced by a set of
deletion markers for individual storage slots. Each deleted storage slot
will now appear in the Storage set with a nil value.
This change will simplify a lot logics, such as storage accessing,
storage flushing, storage iteration and so on.
#29995 has been reverted due to an unexpected flaw in the state snapshot
process.
Specifically, it attempts to stop the state snapshot generation, which
could potentially
cause the system to halt if the generation is not currently running.
This pull request ports the changes made in #29995 and fixes the flaw.
This PR moves some trie-related db accessor methods to a different file, and also removes the schema type. Instead of the schema type, a string is used to distinguish between hashbased/pathbased db accessors.
This also moves some code from trie package to rawdb package.
This PR is intended to be a no-functionality-change prep PR for #25963 .

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 PR ports a few changes from PBSS:
- Fix the snapshot generator waiter in case the generation is not even initialized
- Refactor db inspector for ancient store
This PR cleans up the configurations for pruner and snapshotter by passing a config struct.
And also, this PR disables the snapshot background generation if the chain is opened in "read-only" mode. The read-only mode is necessary in some cases. For example, we have a list of commands to open the etheruem node in "read-only" mode, like export-chain. In these cases, the snapshot background generation is non expected and should be banned explicitly.
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.

If an account is deleted in the tx_1 but recreated in the tx_2,
the it can happen that in this diff layer, both destructedSet
and storageData records this account. In this case, the storage
iterator should be able to iterate the slots belong to new account
but disable further iteration in deeper layers(belong to old account)
