When managing geth, it is sometimes desirable to do a partial wipe; deleting state but retaining freezer data. A partial wipe can be somewhat tricky to accomplish.
This change implements the ability to perform partial wipe by making it possible to run geth removedb non-interactive, using command line options instead.
This pull request improves the condition to check if path state scheme is in use.
Originally, root node presence was used as the indicator if path scheme is used or not. However due to fact that root node will be deleted during the initial snap sync, this condition is no longer useful.
If PersistentStateID is present, it shows that we've already configured for path scheme.
Original problem was caused by #28595, where we made it so that as soon as we start to sync, the root of the disk layer is deleted. That is not wrong per se, but another part of the code uses the "presence of the root" as an init-check for the pathdb. And, since the init-check now failed, the code tried to re-initialize it which failed since a sync was already ongoing.
The total impact being: after a state-sync has begun, if the node for some reason is is shut down, it will refuse to start up again, with the error message: `Fatal: Failed to register the Ethereum service: waiting for sync.`.
This change also modifies how `geth removedb` works, so that the user is prompted for two things: `state data` and `ancient chain`. The former includes both the chaindb aswell as any state history stored in ancients.

Here we update the eth and snap protocol test suites with a new test chain,
created by the hivechain tool. The new test chain uses proof-of-stake. As such,
tests using PoW block propagation in the eth protocol are removed. The test suite
now connects to the node under test using the engine API in order to make it
accept transactions.
The snap protocol test suite has been rewritten to output test descriptions and
log requests more verbosely.

This is primarily to make lint work again on macOS 14. The older version of golangci-lint kept crashing.
Also included is a fix for a goroutine leak in the recently-introduced function MustRunCommandWithOutput.
This is the fix to issue #27483. A new hiddenBytes() is introduced to calculate the byte size of hidden items in the freezer table. When reporting the size of the freezer table, size of the hidden items will be subtracted from the total size.
