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.
Add "active" flag into the node data and make the remainder modal, for active
nodes it's a reference counter, for inactive ones the deactivation height is
stored.
Technically, refcounted chains storing just one trie don't need a flag, but
it's a bit simpler this way.
We use 2 prefixes for storing items because of state synchronization.
This commit allows to parametrize dao with the default prefix.

(*Billet).Traverse changes:
1. Get rid of the `offset` argument. We can cut `from` and pass just the
part that remains. This implies that node with path matching `from` will
also be included in the result, so additional check needs to be added to
the callback function.
2. Pass `path` and `from` without search prefix. Append prefix to the
result inside the callback.
3. Remove duplicating code.
(*Trie).Find changes:
1. Properly prepare `from` argument for traversing function. It closly
depends on the `path` argument.
Allow it for (*Trie).Put. And distinguish empty value and nil value for
(*Trie).PutBatch, because batch is already capable of handling both nil
and empty value. For (*Trie).PutBatch putting nil value means deletion,
while putting empty value means just putting LeafNode with an empty
value.
We use them quite frequently (consider children for a new branch
node) and it is better to get rid of unneeded allocations.

This is not a problem in practice, as all keys are prefixed
by a contract ID. However in theory it can lead to a different
state root after new portion of changes thus this fix.
This reverts commit 168ba7960c.
It seems, there are some problems with it:
`2020-12-25T18:13:07.476+0300 WARN blockQueue: failed adding block into the blockchain {"error": "error while trying to apply MPT changes: unexpected EOF", "blockHeight": 9729, "nextIndex": 9730}`
Running time becomes faster under high load while staying the same in
the average case.
Memory allocation done in `Trie` goes down by about ~10% (even more,
actually).
Because trie size is rather big, it can't be stored in memory.
Thus some form of caching should also be implemented. To avoid
marshaling/unmarshaling of items which are close to root and are used
very frequenly we can save them across the persists.
This commit implements pruning items at the specified depth,
replacing them by hash nodes.

MPT is a trie with a branching factor = 16, i.e. it consists of sequences in
16-element alphabet.
