loaded db and live db stats do not match

[dpetran]

fluree.db.json-ld.reify/merge-flakes calculates the size of all the flakes, whereas fluree.db.json-ld.transact/final-db calculates the size of the asserts and subtracts the size of the retracts.

The (-> db :stats :size) should be the same on a live db and on that same db after load.

branch with failing tests for this (they're in f.d.json-ld.api-test in the :stats equality checks in the single and multi-cardinality load tests): https://github.com/fluree/db/tree/fix/inconsistent-db-stats

asserts - retracts measurement tells us the size of the flakes an [?s ?p ?o] query would return.

asserts + retracts tells us the rough size the whole db would take on disk - not exactly, since there's the index node overhead, but gives you a rough idea of how much space you would need.

I'm not sure which measure is more useful.

Or maybe they're both useful and we just need to come up with good names for the two different keys in :stats?

@bplatz do you have a preference here? I think all we need is a decision of one or the other or both, and I think you have more customer context to be able to make that call.

@dpetran I've always considered the total size of the DB to be important - both 't' values and size, as that would give someone a sense of how many commits and how large they are. Also if the size was a proxy for someone using it for billing, total size would be more important here as well.

Alright, then we will just do the asserts + retracts implementation to fix this bug.
