nodemap: use an intermediate "docket" file to carry small metadata

This intermediate file will make mmapping, transaction and content validation
easier. (Most of this usefulness will arrive gradually in later changeset). In
particular it will become very useful to append new data are the end of raw file
instead of rewriting on the file on each transaction.

See in code comments for details.

+### Nodemap docket file
+#
+# The nodemap data are stored on disk using 2 files:
+#
+# * a raw data files containing a persistent nodemap
+#   (see `Nodemap Trie` section)
+#
+# * a small "docket" file containing medatadata
+#
+# While the nodemap data can be multiple tens of megabytes, the "docket" is
+# small, it is easy to update it automatically or to duplicated its content
+# during a transaction.
+#
+# Multiple raw data can exist at the same time (The currently valid one and a
+# new one beind used by an in progress transaction). To accomodate this, the
+# filename hosting the raw data has a variable parts. The exact filename is
+# specified inside the "docket" file.
+#
+# The docket file contains information to find, qualify and validate the raw
+# data. Its content is currently very light, but it will expand as the on disk
+# nodemap gains the necessary features to be used in production.
+
+# version 0 is experimental, no BC garantee, do no use outside of tests.
