consensus: integrate state root computation and validation with state transition system

- Add _compute_state_root helper function to compute Merkle Patricia Trie state root from account state
- Replace direct balance/nonce updates with state_transition.apply_transaction in block proposal
- Compute and set state_root for both regular blocks and genesis block
- Add state root verification in sync.py after importing blocks
- Add application-layer database validation with DatabaseOperationValidator class
