floresta-chain: new optimized chainstore

The current chainstore is based on `kv`, but it has a few problems:
  - When we flush, we get a huge heap spike
  - We are getting a 2 or 3 times overhead on headers
  - It gets kinda slow to retrieve headers during IBD if we flush early

This commit introduces a bare-bones, ad-hock store that consists in two
parts:
  - A open addressing, file backed and memory-mapped hash map to keep
    the relation block_hash -> block_height
  - A flat file that contains block headers serialized, in ascending
    order

To recover a header, given the block height, we simply use pointer
arithmetic inside the flat file. If we need to get from the block hash,
use the map first, then find it inside the flat file. This has the
advantage of not needing explicit flushes (the os will flush it in fixed
intervals), flushes are async (the os will do it), we get caching for
free (mmap-ed pages will stay in memory if we need) and our cache can
react to system constraints, because the kernel will always know how
much memory we sill have
