Subject: [PATCH] Healing Mechanism for Flat Database in Besu (#5319)

The proposed pull request introduces a feature that allows healing of the flat database by streaming the flat database data and validating it by generating a proof from the trie structure. If the proof is found to be invalid, the code traverses the trie to fix the invalid range. To optimize the process and avoid checking the entire flat database, the PR includes enhancements such as tracking the accounts that need to be repaired during SnapSync. By implementing these optimizations, the PR aims to significantly reduce the time and resources required for repairing the flat database.

+ * PARTIAL and FULL.
+ *
+ * <p>- PARTIAL: Not all the leaves are present inside the flat database. The trie serves as a
+ * fallback to retrieve missing data. The PARTIAL mode is primarily used for backward compatibility
+ * purposes, where the flat database may not have all the required data, and the trie is utilized to
+ * fill in the gaps.
+ *
+ * <p>- FULL: The flat database contains the complete representation of the world state, and there
+ * is no need for a fallback mechanism. The FULL mode represents a fully synchronized state where
+ * the flat database encompasses all the necessary data.
