nomt/db: add Phase 5 unified NOMT trie database

Implement the orchestration layer combining Bitbox storage with the
PageWalker merkle engine:
- DB.Open: creates/opens Bitbox HT file, runs WAL recovery
- DB.Update: sorts ops, runs PageWalker, persists via Bitbox sync
- DB.LoadPage: reads pages from Bitbox for NodeReader compatibility
- BitboxPageSet: PageSet implementation backed by on-disk Bitbox storage

The DB handles only trie structure (merkle pages). Flat key-value
storage stays on geth's PebbleDB via existing infrastructure.
