Why this should be merged

Check #4603

How this works

Add a Finalizer interface to provide explicit cleanup operations for syncers. This ensures cleanup (like flushing batches to disk) is performed reliably even on cancellation or early returns.

  • Add Finalizer interface to sync/types.go for explicit cleanup.
  • Attach Finalize() in CodeQueue that finalizes code fetching to this new interface.
  • Gather finalization logic in a Finalize() for StateSyncer to flush in-progress trie batches.
  • Implement Finalize() for AtomicSyncer to commit pending database changes.
  • Add FinalizeAll() to SyncerRegistry with defer to ensure cleanup runs.
  • Remove OnFailure callback mechanism (replaced by Finalizer).

… shutdown

During graceful shutdown, syncers cancelled via context cancellation were being
logged as ERROR level. This is misleading since cancellation during shutdown is
expected behavior, not an error condition.

- Use `errors.Is()` to detect `context.Canceled` and `context.DeadlineExceeded`
  (handles wrapped errors) and log as INFO instead of ERROR
- Separate `RunSyncerTasks()` logic into a synchronous wrapper and `StartAsync()`
  method for async execution to gain more flexibility and handle more use cases.
- Add early return optimization when context is already cancelled.

Test improvements:
- Add tests for cancellation scenarios (`Canceled`, `DeadlineExceeded`, wrapped
  errors, early return).
- Fix flakiness by adding WaitGroup synchronization and replacing channel-based
  coordination.
- Refactor tests to use `t.Context()` and extract common helpers.

resolves #1410
During graceful shutdown, the State Syncer was hanging because multiple
blocking operations did not check context cancellation. When shutdown
occurred, these operations would block indefinitely, preventing syncers
from detecting cancellation and exiting gracefully.

- Add context.Context parameter to LeafSyncTask.OnLeafs() interface
  to enable context propagation through the leaf processing call chain.

- Update CodeQueue.AddCode() to accept context and check ctx.Done()
  before blocking on channel sends, preventing indefinite blocking
  when Code Syncer stops consuming during shutdown.

- Update all OnLeafs implementations (mainTrieTask, storageTrieTask,
  trieSegment, atomic syncer) to accept and pass context through
  the call chain.

- Add context parameter to startSyncing() and createSegments()
  methods, checking cancellation before blocking channel sends to
  the segments work queue.

- Add context cancellation check in BlockSyncer before checking
  blocks on disk, ensuring it responds during the initial scan phase.

- Update sync/client/leaf_syncer.go to pass context to OnLeafs()
  callbacks.

This ensures all syncers detect cancellation immediately and exit
gracefully instead of hanging until timeout.
Add a `Finalizer` interface to provide explicit cleanup operations for
syncers. This ensures cleanup (like flushing batches to disk) is
performed reliably even on cancellation or early returns.

- Add `Finalizer` interface to `sync/types.go` for explicit cleanup.
- Attach `Finalize()` in `CodeQueue` that finalizes code fetching to this new interface.
- Gather finalization logic in a `Finalize()` for StateSyncer to flush in-progress trie batches.
- Implement `Finalize()` for AtomicSyncer to commit pending database changes.
- Add `FinalizeAll()` to SyncerRegistry with defer to ensure cleanup runs.
- Remove `OnFailure` callback mechanism (replaced by `Finalizer`).

Why is this committing the db? Isn't onFinish already doing the same thing? I think this interface is a bit confusing with onFinish already here.

// progress to restore.
func (t *stateSync) onSyncFailure() {
// Finalize checks if there are any in-progress tries and flushes their batches to disk
// to preserve progress. This is called by the syncer registry on sync failure or cancellation.

isn't this also being called in success?

defer t.lock.RUnlock()

(could be an over-cautious comment)
this looks like should've been cleared on success, but if not then we might end-up in a weird spot.
