Currently, in order to chain together sequential valid t8n transitions the caller must manually calculate the block base fee. This PR adds support for the necessary parent fee market data to calculate the base fee for the current transition.
Concretely, env is extended to accept the following:
parentBaseFee
parentGasUsed
parentGasLimit
Example usage can be found in ./cmd/evm/testdata/25.

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.
