This Pr implements some prerequisite changes for #34004 : split the
`CachingDB` into a `MerkleDB` and a `UBTDB`, so that very different
behaviors don't clash as much.
The transition isn't handled by this PR, but after talking to Gary we
agreed that `UBTDB` should receive another `triedb`, which will only be
loaded if the `Ended` flag is set to false in the conversion contract.
If this is too hard to achieve, it makes sense to load it regardless,
and then loading can be prevented at a later stage by adding a
`UBTTransitionFinalizationTime` in `ChainConfig`.

This PR simplifies the implementation of EIP-7610 by eliminating the
need to check storage emptiness during contract deployment.
EIP-7610 specifies that contract creation must be rejected if the
destination account has a non-zero nonce, non-empty runtime code, or
**non-empty storage**.
After EIP-161, all newly deployed contracts are initialized with a nonce
of one. As a result, such accounts are no longer eligible as deployment
targets unless they are explicitly cleared.
However, prior to EIP-161, contracts were initialized with a nonce of
zero. This made it possible to end up with accounts that have:
- zero nonce
- empty runtime code
- non-empty storage (created during constructor execution)
- non-zero balance
These edge-case accounts complicate the storage emptiness check.
In practice, contract addresses are derived using one of the following
formulas:
- `Keccak256(rlp({sender, nonce}))[12:]`
- `Keccak256([]byte{0xff}, sender, salt[:], initHash)[12:]`
As such, an existing address is not selected as a deployment target
unless a collision occurs, which is extremely unlikely.

Previously, verifying storage emptiness relied on GetStorageRoot.
However, with the transition to the block-based access list (BAL),
the storage root is no longer available, as computing it would require
reconstructing the full storage trie from all mutations of preceding
transactions.
To address this, this PR introduces a simplified approach: it hardcodes
the set of known accounts that have zero nonce, empty runtime code,
but non-empty storage and non-zero balance. During contract deployment,
if the destination address belongs to this set, the deployment is
rejected.
This check is applied retroactively back to genesis. Since no address
collision events have occurred in Ethereum’s history, this change does
not
alter existing behavior. Instead, it serves as a safeguard for future
state
transitions.
This pull request delivers the new version of the state history, where
the raw storage key is used instead of the hash.
Before the cancun fork, it's supported by protocol to destruct a
specific account and therefore, all the storage slot owned by it should
be wiped in the same transition.
Technically, storage wiping should be performed through storage
iteration, and only the storage key hash will be available for traversal
if the state snapshot is not available. Therefore, the storage key hash
is chosen as the identifier in the old version state history.
Fortunately, account self-destruction has been deprecated by the
protocol since the Cancun fork, and there are no empty accounts eligible
for deletion under EIP-158. Therefore, we can conclude that no storage
wiping should occur after the Cancun fork. In this case, it makes no
sense to keep using hash.
Besides, another big reason for making this change is the current format
state history is unusable if verkle is activated. Verkle tree has a
different key derivation scheme (merkle uses keccak256), the preimage of
key hash must be provided in order to make verkle rollback functional.
This pull request is a prerequisite for landing verkle.
Additionally, the raw storage key is more human-friendly for those who
want to manually check the history, even though Solidity already
performs some hashing to derive the storage location.
---
This pull request doesn't bump the database version, as I believe the
database should still be compatible if users degrade from the new geth
version to old one, the only side effect is the persistent new version
state history will be unusable.

This pull request introduces a state.Reader interface for state
accessing.
The interface could be implemented in various ways. It can be pure trie
only reader, or the combination of trie and state snapshot. What's more,
this interface allows us to have more flexibility in the future, e.g.
the
archive reader (for accessing archive state).
Additionally, this pull request removes the following metrics
- `chain/snapshot/account/reads`
- `chain/snapshot/storage/reads`

Here we add a Go API for running tracing plugins within the main block import process.
As an advanced user of geth, you can now create a Go file in eth/tracers/live/, and within
that file register your custom tracer implementation. Then recompile geth and select your tracer
on the command line. Hooks defined in the tracer will run whenever a block is processed.
The hook system is defined in package core/tracing. It uses a struct with callbacks, instead of
requiring an interface, for several reasons:
- We plan to keep this API stable long-term. The core/tracing hook API does not depend on
on deep geth internals.
- There are a lot of hooks, and tracers will only need some of them. Using a struct allows you
to implement only the hooks you want to actually use.
All existing tracers in eth/tracers/native have been rewritten to use the new hook system.
This change breaks compatibility with the vm.EVMLogger interface that we used to have.
If you are a user of vm.EVMLogger, please migrate to core/tracing, and sorry for breaking
your stuff. But we just couldn't have both the old and new tracing APIs coexist in the EVM.

This change makes use of uin256 to represent balance in state. It touches primarily upon statedb, stateobject and state processing, trying to avoid changes in transaction pools, core types, rpc and tracers.
This changes the Trie interface to add the plain account address as a
parameter to all storage-related methods.
After the introduction of the TryAccount* functions, TryGet, TryUpdate and
TryDelete are now only meant to read an account's storage. In their current
form, they assume that an account storage is stored in a separate trie, and
that the hashing of the slot is independent of its account's address.
The proposed structure for a stateless storage breaks these two
assumptions: the hashing of a slot key requires the address and all slots
and accounts are stored in a single trie.
This PR therefore adds an address parameter to the interface. It is ignored
in the MPT version, so this change has no functional impact, however it
will reduce the diff size when merging verkle trees.
