This pull request introduces new sync logic for pruning mode. The downloader will now skip
insertion of block bodies and receipts before the configured history cutoff point.
Originally, in snap sync, the header chain and other components (bodies and receipts) were
inserted separately. However, in Proof-of-Stake, this separation is unnecessary since the
sync target is already verified by the CL.
To simplify the process, this pull request modifies `InsertReceiptChain` to insert headers
along with block bodies and receipts together. Besides, `InsertReceiptChain` doesn't have
the notion of reorg, as the common ancestor is always be found before the sync and extra
side chain is truncated at the beginning if they fall in the ancient store. The stale
canonical chain flags will always be rewritten by the new chain. Explicit reorg logic is
no longer required in `InsertReceiptChain`.
This adds a new subcommand 'geth prune-history' that removes the pre-merge history
on supported networks. Geth is not fully ready to work in this mode, please do not run
this command on your production node.

In #31384 we unindex TXes prior to the merge block. However when the
node starts up it will try to re-index those back if the config is to index the
whole chain. This change makes the indexer aware of the history cutoff block,
avoiding reindexing in that segment.
