treap: add recycle() method on treapNode
The recycle method resets and puts the treapNode into the treapNodePool
to be recycled at a future date.
What changed, and why it matters
This commit adds a small helper method that clears a data structure node and returns it to an internal memory pool for reuse. It is a routine performance/memory-management change with no visible security implications.
No security action required; review as normal code-quality change.
Security signals we found
No strong security signals were identified.
Evidence from the diff
The patch introduces treapNode.recycle() in database/internal/treap/common.go. The method nils out the node’s key, value, left/right pointers and priority, then returns the node to treapNodePool. There is no change to parsing, serialization, cryptography, network handling, consensus rules, or access control. It is purely an object-pooling optimization.
