* graphql, internal/ethapi: extend eth_call
This PR offers the third option parameter for eth_call API.
Caller can specify a batch of contracts for overriding the
original account metadata(nonce, balance, code, state).
It has a few advantages:
* It's friendly for debugging
* It's can make on-chain contract lighter for getting rid of
state access functions
* core, internal: address comments
* core/state, cmd/geth: streaming json output dump cmd + optional code+storage
* dump: add option to continue even if preimages are missing
* core, evm: lint nits
* cmd: use local flags for dump, omit empty code/storage
* core/state: fix state dump test
* all: freezer style syncing
core, eth, les, light: clean up freezer relative APIs
core, eth, les, trie, ethdb, light: clean a bit
core, eth, les, light: add unit tests
core, light: rewrite setHead function
core, eth: fix downloader unit tests
core: add receipt chain insertion test
core: use constant instead of hardcoding table name
core: fix rollback
core: fix setHead
core/rawdb: remove canonical block first and then iterate side chain
core/rawdb, ethdb: add hasAncient interface
eth/downloader: calculate ancient limit via cht first
core, eth, ethdb: lots of fixes
* eth/downloader: print ancient disable log only for fast sync
* core, eth, trie: bloom filter for trie node dedup during fast sync
* eth/downloader, trie: address review comments
* core, ethdb, trie: restart fast-sync bloom construction now and again
* eth/downloader: initialize fast sync bloom on startup
* eth: reenable eth/62 until we properly remove it
This PR is a more advanced form of the dirty-to-clean cacher (#18995),
where we reuse previous database write batches as datasets to uncache,
saving a dirty-trie-iteration and a dirty-trie-rlp-reencoding per block.
* first impl of eth_getProof
* fixed docu
* added comments and refactored based on comments from holiman
* created structs
* handle errors correctly
* change Value to *hexutil.Big in order to have the same output as parity
* use ProofList as return type
