The immutable db (confirmed blocks) of the Haskell node is based on a custom file format that relies on storing blocks as cbor in a sequential file, while keeping some extra indexes in separate files.
This PR introduces a naive approach for streaming blocks from these files.
Why do we need it in Pallas?
Because it's the format used in Mithril snapshots ;)
PS:
Hardano
is a temporal name we'll be using to refer to the Haskell implementation of the Cardano node until a better name appears.
