The frontiers table is redundant and only used for legacy block processing. It tracks a mapping of head block hash to account number. This information can already be obtained by the previous block's sideband information, which contains the account number, and the account_info which contains the head block.
This rewrites the ledger checks in terms of the already existing information and removes updates to the frontiers table and associated tests. This also does a ledger upgrade which drops the frontiers table.
