This change speeds up trie hashing and all other activities that require
RLP encoding of trie nodes by approximately 20%. The speedup is achieved by
avoiding reflection overhead during node encoding.
The interface type trie.node now contains a method 'encode' that works with
rlp.EncoderBuffer. Management of EncoderBuffers is left to calling code.
trie.hasher, which is pooled to avoid allocations, now maintains an
EncoderBuffer. This means memory resources related to trie node encoding
are tied to the hasher pool.

Trim the search key from head as it's being pushed deeper into the trie. Previously the search key was never modified but each node kept information how to slice and compare it in keyOffset. Now the keyOffset is not needed as this information is included in the slice of the search key. This way the keyOffset can be removed and key manipulation
simplified.
The stacktrie is a bit un-untuitive, API-wise: since it mutates input values.
Such behaviour is dangerous, and easy to get wrong if the calling code 'forgets' this quirk. The behaviour is fixed by this PR, so that the input values are not modified by the stacktrie.
Note: just as with the Trie, the stacktrie still references the live input objects, so it's still _not_ safe to mutate the values form the callsite.
