We should probably make this a config struct

Twist the era path resolution a bit:

  • use ancient/chain/era if era is not explicitly specified;
  • use ancient/chain/relative-path if era is specified;
  • use itself if the specified path is an absolute path

TODO (sina and gary)

Can we at least use Add2 for name? :))

Should we also check Era flag isn't used with --datadir="" since it will silently disregard the era directory?

Overall this looks really great. I was able to prune my mainnet node, download the era files with the downloader, then pass the workload tests.

One question is this PR is trying to load Era files from ancient/chain/era, but the downloaded stores them in ancient/era. Which is best?

I also pushed one small commit to remove some old uses of the non-pass through accessors on ancients.

Also, do you think in the future this flag will also work for full era or e2hs files? If not, maybe we should be more specific with the name as "era1"? Otherwise Era is good.

Suggested change
Usage: "Root directory for era1 history (default = inside ancient/chain)",
Usage: "Root directory for era1 history (default = inside ancient)",

It looks like the root directory actually ends up being ancient when you run geth download-era, is this okay or should we actually fix it put the era files in ancient/chain/era ?

It's best to avoid callbacks, especially in the locked variant of the LRU, since it
can lead to weird bugs.
This changes the file cache to avoid some issues around file closing. With the new logic,
a file will never be closed while it is still in use on any goroutine accessing the era
store. To do this, we maintain a reference counter for each file.

The new cache also explicitly tracks files which are being opened. This ensures that
'replacing' a file in the cache cannot happen.
This removes the use of atomic reference counters in favor of using a scheme where all
changes to reference counters are done while holding the Store mutex. Store.Close now
synchronizes with all running accesses and waits until all files have been closed
before returning.
We don't use it anywhere.
This adds a new constructor for the database+freezer that takes named parameters
via a struct. Calls to NewDatabaseWithFreezer are replaced across the codebase.

This implements a backing store for chain history based on era1 files.
The new store is integrated with the freezer. Queries for blocks and receipts
below the current freezer tail are handled by the era store.
