Fixes https://github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum/issues/33907
Notably there is a behavioral change:
- Previously Geth will refuse to restart if the existing trienode
history is gapped with the state data
- With this PR, the gapped trienode history will be entirely reset and
being constructed from scratch
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.
