- Add error returns to Database.Reader() and NodeIterator() methods
- Introduce committed flag to prevent usage of tries after commit
- Update callers to handle new error signatures
- Add MustNodeIterator() helper for backward compatibility

This removes the feature where top nodes of the proof can be elided.
It was intended to be used by the LES server, to save bandwidth
when the client had already fetched parts of the state and only needed
some extra nodes to complete the proof. Alas, it never got implemented
in the client.

In this PR, all TryXXX(e.g. TryGet) APIs of trie are renamed to XXX(e.g. Get) with an error returned.
The original XXX(e.g. Get) APIs are renamed to MustXXX(e.g. MustGet) and does not return any error -- they print a log output. A future PR will change the behaviour to panic on errorrs.

Trie tracer is an auxiliary tool to capture all deleted nodes
which can't be captured by trie.Committer. The deleted nodes
can be removed from the disk later.

Fixes a special case when the trie only has a single trie node and the range proof only contains a single element.

This PR implements the new LES protocol version extensions:
* new and more efficient Merkle proofs reply format (when replying to
a multiple Merkle proofs request, we just send a single set of trie
nodes containing all necessary nodes)
* BBT (BloomBitsTrie) works similarly to the existing CHT and contains
the bloombits search data to speed up log searches
* GetTxStatusMsg returns the inclusion position or the
pending/queued/unknown state of a transaction referenced by hash
* an optional signature of new block data (number/hash/td) can be
included in AnnounceMsg to provide an option for "very light
clients" (mobile/embedded devices) to skip expensive Ethash check
and accept multiple signatures of somewhat trusted servers (still a
lot better than trusting a single server completely and retrieving
everything through RPC). The new client mode is not implemented in
this PR, just the protocol extension.
