This PR adds new trait
HasherNullEmptyRoot
that keep trace of an associated null value for an empty type.A new trait is used because this only makes sense if we assumes that the codec use in the trie will encode node to [0] (this is a bit fishy but rather straightforward solution).
Another memory db is implemented that uses this trait to avoid having to calculate the empty trie root (this happens a lot in substrate).
The implementation is generated from a macro and I am not very happy with the result, but again did not find any good and simple way to implement that, suggestions are very welcome.
Not that in the macro I did ommit an indentation on purpose to keep the diff readable, it should be added before merging, also did not do crate versioning update.
