This PR changes how sidechains are handled.
Before the merge, it was possible to import a chain with lower td and not set it as canonical. After the merge, we expect every chain that we get via InsertChain to be canonical. Non-canonical blocks can still be inserted
with InsertBlockWIthoutSetHead.
If during the InsertChain, the existing chain is not canonical anymore, we mark it as a sidechain and send the SideChainEvents normally.
This PR implements changes related to
[EIP-6800](https://eips.ethereum.org/EIPS/eip-6800) and
[EIP-4762](https://eips.ethereum.org/EIPS/eip-4762) spec updates.
A TL;DR of the changes is that `Version`, `Balance`, `Nonce` and
`CodeSize` are encoded in a single leaf named `BasicData`. For more
details, see the [_Header Values_ table in
EIP-6800](https://eips.ethereum.org/EIPS/eip-6800#header-values).
The motivation for this was simplifying access event patterns, reducing
code complexity, and, as a side effect, saving gas since fewer leaf
nodes must be accessed.

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.
* cmd, core: resolve scheme from a read-write database
* cmd, core, eth: move the scheme check in the ethereum constructor
* cmd/geth: dump should in ro mode
* cmd: reverts
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
* core: write test showing that TD is not stored properly at genesis
The ToBlock method applies a default value for an empty
difficulty value. This default is not carried over through the Commit
method because the TotalDifficulty database write writes the
original difficulty value (nil) instead of the defaulty value
present on the genesis Block.

* core: write TD value from Block, not original genesis value
This an issue where a default TD value was not written to
the database, resulting in a 0 value TD at genesis.
A test for this issue was provided at 90e3ffd393

This commit adds pluggable consensus engines to go-ethereum. In short, it
introduces a generic consensus interface, and refactors the entire codebase to
use this interface.
This commit solves several issues concerning the genesis block:
* Genesis/ChainConfig loading was handled by cmd/geth code. This left
library users in the cold. They could specify a JSON-encoded
string and overwrite the config, but didn't get any of the additional
checks performed by geth.
* Decoding and writing of genesis JSON was conflated in
WriteGenesisBlock. This made it a lot harder to embed the genesis
block into the forthcoming config file loader. This commit changes
things so there is a single Genesis type that represents genesis
blocks. All uses of Write*Genesis* are changed to use the new type
instead.
* If the chain config supplied by the user was incompatible with the
current chain (i.e. the chain had already advanced beyond a scheduled
fork), it got overwritten. This is not an issue in practice because
previous forks have always had the highest total difficulty. It might
matter in the future though. The new code reverts the local chain to
the point of the fork when upgrading configuration.
The change to genesis block data removes compression library
dependencies from package core.
