The only user of (*Block).Trim() is in DAO and it already has a nice buffer
usually, so creating another one makes no sense. It also simplifies error
handling a lot.
1. Move redirections check to the tcp level. Manually resolve request address
and create connection for the first suitable resolved address.
2. Remove URIValidator. Redirections checks are set in the custom http client,
so the user should take care of validation by himself when customizing the
client.
We don't have a need to iterate over them at the moment, but since we're
changing the DB format in the next release anyway let's add this ability also,
just in case.
It couldn't be done previously with two maps and mixed storage, but now all of
the storage changes are located in a single map, so it's trivial to do exact
slice allocations and avoid string->[]byte conversions.
Private DAO is only used in a single thread which means we can safely reuse
key/data buffers most of the time and handle it all in DAO.
Doesn't affect any benchmarks.
Most of the time we don't need locking on the higher-level stores and we drop
them after Persist, so that's what private MemCachedStore is for.
It doesn't improve things in any noticeable way, some ~1% can be observed in
neo-bench under various loads and even less than that in chain processing. But
it seems to be a bit better anyway (less allocations, less locks).
They never return errors, so their interface should reflect that. This allows
to remove quite a lot of useless and never tested code.
Notice that Get still does return an error. It can be made not to do that, but
usually we need to differentiate between successful/unsuccessful accesses
anyway, so this doesn't help much.
Simple and dumb as it is, this allows to separate contract storage from other
things and dramatically improve Seek() time over storage (even though it's
still unordered!) which in turn improves block processing speed.

neo-bench performance is mostly unaffected, ~0.5% for 1-1 test and 4% for
10K-10K test both fall within regular test error range.
Initially I thought of doing it in the next persist cycle, but testing shows
that it needs just ~2-5% of the time MPT GC does, so doing it in the same
cycle doesn't affect anything.
