tests: update tests (#26314)

This PR builds on #26299, but also updates the tests to the most recent version, which includes tests regarding TheMerge.

This change adds checks to the beacon consensus engine, making it more strict in validating the pre- and post-headers, and not relying on the caller to have already correctly sanitized the headers/blocks.

-## EVM state transition tool
+# EVM tool
+
+The EVM tool provides a few useful subcommands to facilitate testing at the EVM
+layer.
+
+* transition tool    (`t8n`) : a stateless state transition utility
+* transaction tool   (`t9n`) : a transaction validation utility
+* block builder tool (`b11r`): a block assembler utility
+
+## State transition tool (`t8n`)
+
 
 The `evm t8n` tool is a stateless state transition utility. It is a utility
 which can
 
 1. Take a prestate, including
-- Accounts,
+  - Accounts,
-- Block context information,
+  - Block context information,
-- Previous blockshashes (*optional)
+  - Previous blockshashes (*optional)
 2. Apply a set of transactions,
 3. Apply a mining-reward (*optional),
 4. And generate a post-state, including
-- State root, transaction root, receipt root,
+  - State root, transaction root, receipt root,
-- Information about rejected transactions,
+  - Information about rejected transactions,
-- Optionally: a full or partial post-state dump
+  - Optionally: a full or partial post-state dump
 
-## Specification
+### Specification
 
 The idea is to specify the behaviour of this binary very _strict_, so that other
 node implementors can build replicas based on their own state-machines, and the
-state generators can swap between a `geth`-based implementation and a `parityvm`-based
+state generators can swap between a \`geth\`-based implementation and a \`parityvm\`-based

+#### Objects
 
-### Error codes and output
+The transition tool uses JSON objects to read and write data related to the transition operation. The
+following object definitions are required.
+
+##### `alloc`
+
+The `alloc` object defines the prestate that transition will begin with.
+
+```go
