This PR adds a snapshots cache/queue to the aristo database instance.
The main purpose of this change is to support limiting the number of snapshots that can be created in total and also to support clearing out old data from snapshots just after persisting.
When we persist a txFrame to the database the base level increases but any snapshots that were not persisted may still have vertexes with a level lower than the base level. This stale data should be removed to further save memory and also prevent issues caused by reading stale data.
If we decided to go ahead with this idea then ideally it should be merged just after this PR: #3737
