Removal of the persistent input points. These exist to support late-binding as required by concurrent and append-only archival. But they can be substituted with direct navigation as the concurrency windows close, dropping the table [and retaining a small/empty collection of those that didn't bind (e.g. an invalid block under PoW)]. That eliminates the huge table, the perpetual hashmap search for prevouts, and accelerates confirmation. So we only perform the search once per prevout, which is the minimum possible.
