This pull request introduces a SyncKeyValue function to the
ethdb.KeyValueStore
interface, providing the ability to forcibly flush all previous writes
to disk.
This functionality is critical for go-ethereum, which internally uses
two independent
database engines: a key-value store (such as Pebble, LevelDB, or
memoryDB for
testing) and a flat-file–based freezer. To ensure write-order
consistency between
these engines, the key-value store must be explicitly synced before
writing to the
freezer and vice versa.

Here we add the notion of prunable tables for the `TruncateTail` operation
in the freezer. TruncateTail for the chain freezer now only truncates the body and
receipts tables, leaving headers and hashes as-is.
This change also requires changing the validation/repair at startup to allow for
tables with different tail. For the header and hash tables, we now require them to start
at number zero.
