Proposed changes
The StateDB type utilizes a dbErr to track database errors. It is employed by both the consensus core and the VM which are not designed to manage such errors directly.
Errors encountered during database operations are recorded in dbErr using the SetError function. During a Commit, functions like deleteStateObject, updateStateObject, and getStateObject are called based on the current state of stateObject to manage trie node data for deletion, update, or retrieval. If a data node is missing, dbErr is set accordingly.
To avoid committing erroneous state, check the dbErr before performing Commit action.
