cmd/evm: add difficulty calculation to t8n tool (#23353)

This PR adds functionality to the evm t8n to calculate ethash difficulty. If the caller does not provide a currentDifficulty, but instead provides the parentTimestamp (well, semi-optional, will default to 0 if not given), and parentDifficulty, we can calculate it for him.

The caller can also provide a parentUncleHash. In most, but not all cases, the parent uncle hash also affects the formula. If no such hash is provided (or, if the empty all-zero hash is provided), it's assumed that there were no uncles.

## Difficulty calculation
This test shows how the `evm t8n` can be used to calculate the (ethash) difficulty, if none is provided by the caller.
Calculating it (with an empty set of txs) using `London` rules (and no provided unclehash for the parent block):
```

Same thing, but this time providing a non-empty (and non-`emptyKeccak`) unclehash, which leads to a slightly different result:
