When we map a file for generating the DAG, we do a simple truncate to e.g. 1Gb. This is fine, even if we have nowhere near 1Gb disk available, as the actual file doesn't take up the full 1Gb, merely a few bytes. When we start generating into it, however, it eventually crashes with a unexpected fault address .
This change fixes it (on linux systems) by using the Fallocate syscall, which preallocates suffcient space on disk to avoid that situation.

This PR offers two more database sub commands for exporting and importing data.
Two exporters are implemented: preimage and snapshot data respectively.
The import command is generic, it can take any data export and import into leveldb.
The data format has a 'magic' for disambiguation, and a version field for future compatibility.
It is because write known block only checks block and state without snapshot, which could lead to gap between newest snapshot and newest block state. However, new blocks which would cause snapshot to become fixed were ignored, since state was already known.

Some benchmarks in eth/filters were not good: they weren't reproducible, relying on geth chaindata to be present.
Another one was rejected because the receipt was lacking a backing transcation.
The p2p simulation benchmark had a lot of the warnings below, due to the framework calling both
Stop() and Close(). Apparently, the simulated adapter is the only implementation which has a Close(),
and there is no need to call both Stop and Close on it.
* core: write test showing that TD is not stored properly at genesis
The ToBlock method applies a default value for an empty
difficulty value. This default is not carried over through the Commit
method because the TotalDifficulty database write writes the
original difficulty value (nil) instead of the defaulty value
present on the genesis Block.

* core: write TD value from Block, not original genesis value
This an issue where a default TD value was not written to
the database, resulting in a 0 value TD at genesis.

This PR adds a new accessor method to the freezer database. This new view offers a consistent interface, guaranteeing that all individual tables (headers, bodies etc) are all on the same number, and that this number is not changes (added/truncated) while the operation is performing.
