Investigate lbrycrd mode without storing claimtrie data in memory #264

Some services, like exchanges and pools, will not care about claim trie data. Is it possible to have a mode or separate binary that's only for transactional data?

I like this idea, but the root hash of the trie is included in the block. I can't think of a way to compute that without the data being there, and transferring it from somewhere else could be risky. The memory improvements are coming very soon and should buy us a lot of breathing room.
