Currently our state journal tracks each storage update to a contract, having the ability to revert those changes to the previously set value.
For the very first modification however, it behaves a bit wonky. Reverting the update doesn't actually remove the dirty-ness of the slot, rather leaves it as "change this slot to it's original value". This can cause issues down the line with for example write witnesses needing to gather an unneeded proof.
This PR modifies the storageChange journal entry to not only track the previous value of a slot, but also whether there was any previous value at all set in the current execution context. In essence, the PR changes the semantic of storageChange so it does not simply track storage changes, rather it tracks dirty storage changes, an important distinction for being able to cleanly revert the journal item.

Continuing with a series of PRs to make the Trie interface more generic, this PR moves
the RLP encoding of storage slots inside the StateTrie and light.Trie implementations,
as other types of tries don't use RLP.

This change renames StateTrie methods to remove the Try* prefix.
We added the Trie methods with prefix 'Try' a long time ago, working
around the problem that most existing methods of Trie did not return the
database error. This weird naming convention has persisted until now.

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.

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 changes the StorageTrie method to return an error when the trie
is not available. It used to return an 'empty trie' in this case, but that's
not possible anymore under PBSS.
