This PR adds `DeleteRange` to `ethdb.KeyValueWriter`. While range
deletion using an iterator can be really slow, `DeleteRange` is natively
supported by pebble and apparently runs in O(1) time (typically 20-30ms
in my tests for removing hundreds of millions of keys and gigabytes of
data). For leveldb and memorydb an iterator based fallback is
implemented. Note that since the iterator method can be slow and a
database function should not unexpectedly block for a very long time,
the number of deleted keys is limited at 10000 which should ensure that
it does not block for more than a second. ErrTooManyKeys is returned if
the range has only been partially deleted. In this case the caller can
repeat the call until it finally succeeds.
This fixes a database corruption issue that could occur during state healing.
When sync is aborted while certain modifications were already committed, and a
reorg occurs, the database would contain incorrect trie nodes stored by path.
These nodes need to detected/deleted in order to obtain a complete and fully correct state
after state healing.

The Go authors updated golang/x/ext to change the function signature of the slices sort method.
It's an entire shitshow now because x/ext is not tagged, so everyone's codebase just
picked a new version that some other dep depends on, causing our code to fail building.
This PR updates the dep on our code too and does all the refactorings to follow upstream...
One difference between pebble and leveldb is that the latter returns error when performing Get on a closed database, the former does a panic. This may be triggered during shutdown (see #27237)
This PR changes the pebble driver so we check that the db is not closed already, for several operations. It also adds tests to the db test-suite, so the previously implicit assumption of "not panic:ing at ops on closed database" is covered by tests.
This PR is a (superior) alternative to https://github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum/pull/26708, it handles deprecation, primarily two specific cases.
`rand.Seed` is typically used in two ways
- `rand.Seed(time.Now().UnixNano())` -- we seed it, just to be sure to get some random, and not always get the same thing on every run. This is not needed, with global seeding, so those are just removed.
- `rand.Seed(1)` this is typically done to ensure we have a stable test. If we rely on this, we need to fix up the tests to use a deterministic prng-source. A few occurrences like this has been replaced with a proper custom source.
`rand.Read` has been replaced by `crypto/rand`.`Read` in this PR.
- Move the existing tests from memorydb into a generalized testsuite
that can be run by any ethdb backend implementation.
- Add several more test cases to clarify some non-obvious nuances when
implementing a custom ethdb backend, such as the behaviour of
NewIteratorWithPrefix vs NewIteratorWithStart.
- Add leveldb to the testsuite using in-memory storage for fast
execution.
