This change relocates the EVM tx context switching to the ApplyMessage function.
With this change, we can remove a lot of EVM.SetTxContext calls before
message execution.
### Tracing API changes
- This PR replaces the `GasPrice` field of the `VMContext` struct with
`BaseFee`. Users may instead take the effective gas price from
`tx.EffectiveGasTipValue(env.BaseFee)`.

This pull request refactors the EVM constructor by removing the
TxContext parameter.
The EVM object is frequently overused. Ideally, only a single EVM
instance should be created and reused throughout the entire state
transition of a block, with the transaction context switched as needed
by calling evm.SetTxContext.
Unfortunately, in some parts of the code, the EVM object is repeatedly
created, resulting in unnecessary complexity. This pull request is the
first step towards gradually improving and simplifying this setup.

This PR fixes some issues with benchmarks
- [x] Removes log output from a log-test
- [x] Avoids a `nil`-defer in `triedb/pathdb`
- [x] Fixes some crashes re tracers
- [x] Refactors a very resource-expensive benchmark for blobpol.
**NOTE**: this rewrite touches live production code (a little bit), as
it makes the validator-function used by the blobpool configurable.
- [x] Switch some benches over to use pebble over leveldb
- [x] reduce mem overhead in the setup-phase of some tests
- [x] Marks some tests with a long setup-phase to be skipped if `-short`
is specified (where long is on the order of tens of seconds). Ideally,
in my opinion, one should be able to run with `-benchtime 10ms -short`
and sanity-check all tests very quickly.
- [x] Drops some metrics-bechmark which times the speed of `copy`.

This PR moves the logging/tracing-facilities out of `*state.StateDB`,
in to a wrapping struct which implements `vm.StateDB` instead.
In most places, it is a pretty straight-forward change:
- First, hoisting the invocations from state objects up to the statedb.
- Then making the mutation-methods simply return the previous value, so
that the external logging layer could log everything.
Some internal code uses the direct object-accessors to mutate the state,
particularly in testing and in setting up state overrides, which means
that these changes are unobservable for the hooked layer. Thus, configuring
the overrides are not necessarily part of the API we want to publish.
The trickiest part about the layering is that when the selfdestructs are
finally deleted during `Finalise`, there's the possibility that someone
sent some ether to it, which is burnt at that point, and thus needs to
be logged. The hooked layer reaches into the inner layer to figure out
these events.
In package `vm`, the conversion from `state.StateDB + hooks` into a
hooked `vm.StateDB` is performed where needed.

Breaking changes:
- The ChainConfig was exposed to tracers via VMContext passed in
`OnTxStart`. This is unnecessary specially looking through the lens of
live tracers as chain config remains the same throughout the lifetime of
the program. It was there so that native API-invoked tracers could
access it. So instead we moved it to the constructor of API tracers.
Non-breaking:
- Change the default config of the tracers to be `{}` instead of nil.
This way an extra nil check can be avoided.
Refactoring:
- Rename `supply` struct to `supplyTracer`.
- Un-export some hook definitions.
Changelog: https://golangci-lint.run/product/changelog/#1610
Removes `exportloopref` (no longer needed), replaces it with
`copyloopvar` which is basically the opposite.
Also adds:
- `durationcheck`
- `gocheckcompilerdirectives`
- `reassign`
- `mirror`
- `tenv`

Here we add a Go API for running tracing plugins within the main block import process.
As an advanced user of geth, you can now create a Go file in eth/tracers/live/, and within
that file register your custom tracer implementation. Then recompile geth and select your tracer
on the command line. Hooks defined in the tracer will run whenever a block is processed.
The hook system is defined in package core/tracing. It uses a struct with callbacks, instead of
requiring an interface, for several reasons:
- We plan to keep this API stable long-term. The core/tracing hook API does not depend on
on deep geth internals.
- There are a lot of hooks, and tracers will only need some of them. Using a struct allows you
to implement only the hooks you want to actually use.
All existing tracers in eth/tracers/native have been rewritten to use the new hook system.
This change breaks compatibility with the vm.EVMLogger interface that we used to have.
If you are a user of vm.EVMLogger, please migrate to core/tracing, and sorry for breaking
your stuff. But we just couldn't have both the old and new tracing APIs coexist in the EVM.

In the tracing tests, the base fee was generally set to nil. This commit changes this to pass the proper base instead, and fixes the few tests which become broken by the change.
Currently, one can use the "withLogs" parameter to include logs in the
callTracer results, which allows the user to see at which trace level
was each log emitted.
This commit adds a position field to the logs which determine
the exact ordering of a call's logs and its subcalls. This would
be useful e.g. for explorers wishing to display the flow of execution.

This includes a semantic change to the `callTracer` as well as `flatCallTracer`.
The value of field `gas` in the **first** call frame will change as follows:
- It previously contained gas available after initial deductions (i.e. tx costs)
- It will now contain the full tx gasLimit value

Here, the core.Message interface turns into a plain struct and
types.Message gets removed.
This is a breaking change to packages core and core/types. While we do
not promise API stability for package core, we do for core/types. An
exception can be made for types.Message, since it doesn't have any
purpose apart from invoking the state transition in package core.
types.Message was also marked deprecated by the same commit it
got added in, 4dca5d4db7 (November 2016).
The core.Message interface was added in December 2014, in commit
db494170dc, for the purpose of 'testing' state transitions. It's the
same change that made transaction struct fields private. Before that,
the state transition used *types.Transaction directly.
Over time, multiple implementations of the interface accrued across
different packages, since constructing a Message is required whenever
one wants to invoke the state transition. These implementations all
looked very similar, a struct with private fields exposing the fields
as accessor methods.
By changing Message into a struct with public fields we can remove all
these useless interface implementations. It will also hopefully
simplify future changes to the type with less updates to apply across
all of go-ethereum when a field is added to Message.

This PR changes the API so that uint64 is used for fork timestamps.
It's a good choice because types.Header also uses uint64 for time.

This makes non-JS tracers execute all block txs on a single goroutine.
In the previous implementation, we used to prepare every tx pre-state
on one goroutine, and then run the transactions again with tracing enabled.
Native tracers are usually faster, so it is faster overall to use their output as
the pre-state for tracing the next transaction.

In some cases, it is desirable to capture what is triggered by each trace, when using the `callTracer`. For example: call `USDT.transfer` will trigger a `Transfer(from, to, value)` event.
This PR adds the option to capture logs to the call tracer, by specifying `{"withLog": true}` in the tracerconfig.
Any logs belonging to failed/reverted call-scopes are removed from the output, to prevent interpretation mistakes.

* eth/tracers: fix gasUsed in call tracer
* fix js tracers gasUsed
* fix legacy prestate tracer
* fix restGas in test
* drop intrinsicGas field from js tracers
In some cases, inner contract creation may not be successful, and an inner contract was not created. This PR fixes a crash that could occur when doing tracing in such situations.
Backwards compatibility warning: The result will from now on omit empty fields instead
of including a zero value (e.g. no more `balance: '0x'`).
The prestateTracer will now take an option `diffMode: bool`. In this mode
the tracer will output the pre state and post data for the modified parts of state.
Read-only accesses will be completely omitted. Creations (be it account or slot)
will be signified by omission in the `pre` list and inclusion in `post`. Whereas
deletion (be it account or slot) will be signified by inclusion in `pre` and omission
in `post` list.

This PR allows users to pass in a config object directly to the tracers. Previously only the struct logger was configurable.
It also adds an option to the call tracer which if enabled makes it ignore any subcall and collect only information about the top-level call. See #25419 for discussion.
The tracers will silently ignore if they are passed a config they don't care about.
#23773 added a JS tracer which uses Goja as its engine. In this PR I remove the previous tracer which used duktape as well as remove the dependencies.
This PR also comes with 2 fixes in the Goja tracer and one small behavioural change:
I had handled errors in the native Go functions by panicing. My oversight was that Goja only handles panics with a Goja.Value as argument. The difference is panic(goja.Value) allows JS to catch the exception whereas Interrupt(error) doesn't.
There was a race in how I handled Stop.
Because of 1. some of the methods that simply return nil on error (like memory.slice) now throw an exception.
This adds a JS tracer runtime environment based on the Goja VM. The new
runtime replaces the duktape runtime, which will be removed soon.
Goja is implemented in Go and is faster for cases where the Go <-> JS
transition overhead dominates overall performance. It is faster because
duktape is written in C, and the transition cost includes the cost of using
cgo. Another reason for using Goja is that go-duktape is not maintained
anymore.
We expect the performace of JS tracing to be at least as good or better with
this change.
