master core/filtermaps: FilterMaps log index generator and search l…
This PR is #1 of a 3-part series that implements the new log index
intended to replace core/bloombits.
Replaces https://github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum/pull/30370
This part implements the new data structure, the log index generator and
the search logic. This PR has most of the complexity but it does not
affect any existing code yet so maybe it is easier to review separately.
FilterMaps data structure explanation:

Search pattern matcher code overview:

Note that the possibility of a tree hashing scheme and remote proof
protocol are mentioned in the documents above but they are not exactly
specified yet. These specs are WIP and will be finalized after the local
log indexer/filter code is finalized and merged.
