This change adds the ability to perform reads from freezer without size limitation. This can be useful in cases where callers are certain that out-of-memory will not happen (e.g. reading only a few elements).
The previous API was designed to behave both optimally and secure while servicing a request from a peer, whereas this change should _not_ be used when an untrusted peer can influence the query size.
This PR is a (superior) alternative to https://github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum/pull/26708, it handles deprecation, primarily two specific cases.
`rand.Seed` is typically used in two ways
- `rand.Seed(time.Now().UnixNano())` -- we seed it, just to be sure to get some random, and not always get the same thing on every run. This is not needed, with global seeding, so those are just removed.
- `rand.Seed(1)` this is typically done to ensure we have a stable test. If we rely on this, we need to fix up the tests to use a deterministic prng-source. A few occurrences like this has been replaced with a proper custom source.
`rand.Read` has been replaced by `crypto/rand`.`Read` in this PR.

This change is a rewrite of the freezer code.
When writing ancient chain data to the freezer, the previous version first encoded each
individual item to a temporary buffer, then wrote the buffer. For small item sizes (for
example, in the block hash freezer table), this strategy causes a lot of system calls for
writing tiny chunks of data. It also allocated a lot of temporary []byte buffers.
In the new version, we instead encode multiple items into a re-useable batch buffer, which
is then written to the file all at once. This avoids performing a system call for every
inserted item.
To make the internal batching work, the ancient database API had to be changed. While
integrating this new API in BlockChain.InsertReceiptChain, additional optimizations were
also added there.

The Append / truncate operations were racy. When a datafile reaches 2Gb, a new file is needed. For this operation, we require a writelock, which is not needed in the 99.99% of all cases where the data does fit in the current head-file.
This transition from readlock to writelock was incorrect, and as the readlock was released, a truncate operation could slip in between, and truncate the data. This would have been fine, however, the Append operation continued writing as if no truncation had occurred, e.g writing item 5 where item 0 should reside.
This PR changes the behaviour, so that if when we run into the situation that a new file is needed, it aborts, and retries, this time with a writelock.
The outcome of the situation described above, running on this PR, would instead be that the Append operation exits with a failure.
