 * Cryptonote Blockchain Database Interface
 *
 * The DB interface is a store for the canonical block chain.
 * It serves as a persistent storage for the blockchain.
 *
 * For the sake of efficiency, a concrete implementation may also
 * store some blockchain data outside of the blocks, such as spent
 * transfer key images, unspent transaction outputs, etc.
 *
 * Examples are as follows:
 *
 * Transactions are duplicated so that we don't have to fetch a whole block
 * in order to fetch a transaction from that block.
 *
 * Spent key images are duplicated outside of the blocks so it is quick
 * to verify an output hasn't already been spent
 *
 * Unspent transaction outputs are duplicated to quickly gather random
 * outputs to use for mixins
 *
 * Indices and Identifiers:
 * The word "index" is used ambiguously throughout this code. It is
 * particularly confusing when talking about the output or transaction
 * tables since their indexing can refer to themselves or each other.
 * I have attempted to clarify these usages here:
 *
 * Blocks, transactions, and outputs are all identified by a hash.
 * For storage efficiency, a 64-bit integer ID is used instead of the hash
 * inside the DB. Tables exist to map between hash and ID. A block ID is
 * also referred to as its "height". Transactions and outputs generally are
 * not referred to by ID outside of this module, but the tx ID is returned
 * by tx_exists() and used by get_tx_amount_output_indices(). Like their
 * corresponding hashes, IDs are globally unique.
 *
 * The remaining uses of the word "index" refer to local offsets, and are
 * not globally unique. An "amount output index" N refers to the Nth output
 * of a specific amount. An "output local index" N refers to the Nth output
 * of a specific tx.
 *
 * Exceptions:
 *   DB_ERROR -- generic
 *   DB_OPEN_FAILURE
 *   DB_CREATE_FAILURE
 *   DB_SYNC_FAILURE
 *   BLOCK_DNE
 *   BLOCK_PARENT_DNE
 *   BLOCK_EXISTS
 *   BLOCK_INVALID -- considering making this multiple errors
 *   TX_DNE
 *   TX_EXISTS
 *   OUTPUT_DNE
 *   OUTPUT_EXISTS
 *   KEY_IMAGE_EXISTS
