This adds a JS tracer runtime environment based on the Goja VM. The new
runtime replaces the duktape runtime, which will be removed soon.

Goja is implemented in Go and is faster for cases where the Go <-> JS
transition overhead dominates overall performance. It is faster because
duktape is written in C, and the transition cost includes the cost of using
cgo. Another reason for using Goja is that go-duktape is not maintained
anymore.

We expect the performace of JS tracing to be at least as good or better with
this change.

This PR adds db tooling (geth db check-state-content)  to verify the integrity of trie nodes. It iterates through the 32-byte key space in the database, which is expected to contain RLP-encoded trie nodes, addressed by hash.

* eth/catalyst: set the correct LatestValidHash

* eth/catalyst: core: return LVH during reorg, rework invalid teminal block

* eth/catalyst: nitpicks

* eth/protocols/snap: don't include empty snapshot slot slice

This PR fixes the snapshot storage serving handler. In snap protocol
the response is capped by the response size. Server can cutdown the
response if the accumulated byte size exceeds the local hard limit.

It means we can meet a special scenario that there is no storage slot
included for a requested account, but we attach the proof for this
account by mistake.

So in the prover side, when it meets a empty storage response but with
a valid proof proves there are some more slots left in the trie, then
requestor will reject this response and disconnect with server.

In this PR, if there is no storage slot served for the requested account,
then no proof should be attached as well.
