Closes#2213
Omit transaction and receipt roots from abridged block.
No longer use RLP compression.
Make ordered_trie_root generic over an iterator to save an allocation.
Breaks snapshot format backwards compatibility (with other 1.4 snapshots -- it's already been broken with 1.3).

* initial implementation of snapshot service
* remove snapshottaker trait
* snapshot writer trait with packed and loose implementations
* write chunks using "snapshotwriter" in service
* have snapshot taking use snapshotwriter
