Support an address-specific archiving mode

[stan-dot]

Rationale

The need to store 1TB of data for the whole archive is a bottleneck for some use cases that only need data regarding specific accounts.

Implementation

Q: Do you have ideas regarding the implementation of this feature?
A: A config flag could be added to the fork mode to pass an array of addresses, only txns involving those addresses would be saved in the node instance.

Q: Are you willing to implement this feature?
A: On it!
