When tracing based on a clean database (chain tracing), we removed the short-circuit that created a statedb on top of the starting block. That fix was needed to not process blocks on top of the live pruner.

However, we still do need to check if we can make a statedb on top of the starting block using only the disk database. Otherwise a chain tracer starting from the genesis would fail as it would try to reconstruct the genesis state from it's "parent" from the get to.
