In transaction-sending APIs such as `eth_sendRawTransaction`, a submitted transaction
failing the configured txpool validation rules (i.e. fee too low) would cause an error to be
returned, even though the transaction was successfully added into the locals tracker.
Once added there, the transaction may even be included into the chain at a later time,
when fee market conditions change.
This change improves on this by performing the validation in the locals tracker, basically
skipping some of the validation rules for local transactions. We still try to add the tx to the
main pool immediately, but an error will only be returned for transactions which are
fundamentally invalid.

This is a not-particularly-important "cleanliness" PR. It removes the
last remnants of the `x/exp` package, where we used the `maps.Keys`
function.
The original returned the keys in a slice, but when it became 'native'
the signature changed to return an iterator, so the new idiom is
`slices.Collect(maps.Keys(theMap))`, unless of course the raw iterator
can be used instead.
In some cases, where we previously collect into slice and then sort, we
can now instead do `slices.SortXX` on the iterator instead, making the
code a bit more concise.
This PR might be _slighly_ less optimal, because the original `x/exp`
implementation allocated the slice at the correct size off the bat,
which I suppose the new code won't.
Putting it up for discussion.

This PR removes `locals` as a concept from transaction pools. Therefore,
the pool now acts as very a good simulation/approximation of how our
peers' pools behave. What this PR does instead, is implement a
locals-tracker, which basically is a little thing which, from time to
time, asks the pool "did you forget this transaction?". If it did, the
tracker resubmits it.
If the txpool _had_ forgotten it, chances are that the peers had also
forgotten it. It will be propagated again.
Doing this change means that we can simplify the pool internals, quite a
lot.
### The semantics of `local`
Historically, there has been two features, or usecases, that has been
combined into the concept of `locals`.
1. "I want my local node to remember this transaction indefinitely, and
resubmit to the network occasionally"
2. "I want this (valid) transaction included to be top-prio for my
miner"
This PR splits these features up, let's call it `1: local` and `2:
prio`. The `prio` is not actually individual transaction, but rather a
set of `address`es to prioritize.
The attribute `local` means it will be tracked, and `prio` means it will
be prioritized by miner.
For `local`: anything transaction received via the RPC is marked as
`local`, and tracked by the tracker.
For `prio`: any transactions from this sender is included first, when
building a block. The existing commandline-flag `--txpool.locals` sets
the set of `prio` addresses.
