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.

This change makes the StateDB track the state key value diff of a block transition.
We already tracked current account and storage values for the purpose of updating
the state snapshot. With this PR, we now also track the original (pre-transition) values
of accounts and storage slots.
The clean trie cache is persisted periodically, therefore Geth can
quickly warmup the cache in next restart.
However it will reduce the robustness of system. The assumption is
held in Geth that if the parent trie node is present, then the entire
sub-trie associated with the parent are all prensent.
Imagine the scenario that Geth rewinds itself to a past block and
restart, but Geth finds the root node of "future state" in clean
cache then regard this state is present in disk, while is not in fact.
Another example is offline pruning tool. Whenever an offline pruning
is performed, the clean cache file has to be removed to aviod hitting
the root node of "deleted states" in clean cache.
All in all, compare with the minor performance gain, system robustness
is something we care more.

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.
