The PR makes use of the stacktrie, which is is more lenient on resource consumption, than the regular trie, in cases where we only need it for DeriveSha
* miner: exit loop when downloader Done or Failed
Following the logic of the comment at the method,
this fixes a regression introduced at 7cf56d6f064869cb62b1673f9ee437020c595391
, which would allow external parties to DoS with
blocks, preventing mining progress.

* miner: fix waitForMiningState precision
This helper function would return an affirmation
on the first positive match on a desired bool.
This was imprecise; it return false positives
by not waiting initially for an 'updated' value.
This fix causes TestMiner_2 to fail, which is
expected.

* miner: remove TestMiner_2 demonstrating broken test
This test demonstrated the imprecision of the test
helper function waitForMiningState. This function
has been fixed with 6d365c2851, and this test test
may now be removed.

* miner: add test describing expectations for downloader/mining events
We expect that once the downloader emits a DoneEvent,
signaling a successful sync, that subsequent StartEvents
are not longer permitted to stop the miner.
This prevents a security vulnerability where forced syncs via
fake high blocks would stall mining operation.

* miner: use 'canStop' state to fix downloader event handling
- Break downloader event handling into event
separating Done and Failed events. We need to
treat these cases differently since a DoneEvent
should prevent the miner from being stopped on
subsequent downloader Start events.
- Use canStop state to handle the one-off
case when a downloader first succeeds.

* miner: refactor miner update logic w/r/t downloader events
This makes mining pause/start logic regarding downloader
events more explicit. Instead of eternally handling downloader
events after the first done event, the subscription is closed
when downloader events are no longer actionable.

* miner: refactor update loop to remove race condition
The go routine handling the downloader events handling
vars in parallel with the parent routine, causing a
race condition.
This change, though ugly, remove the condition while
still allowing the downloader event subscription to be
closed when the miner has no further use for it (ie DoneEvent).

This PR changes several different things:
- Adds test cases for the miner loop
- Stops the worker if it wasn't already stopped in worker.Close()
- Uses channels instead of atomics in the miner.update() loop
