TruncatePending shows up bright red on our nodes, because it computes
the length of a map multiple times.
I don't know why this is so expensive, but around 20% of our time is
spent on this, which is super weird.

This pull request improves error handling for local transaction submissions.
Specifically, if a transaction fails with a temporary error but might be
accepted later, the error will not be returned to the user; instead, the
transaction will be tracked locally for resubmission.
However, if the transaction fails with a permanent error (e.g., invalid
transaction or insufficient balance), the error will be propagated to the user.
These errors returned in the legacyPool are regarded as temporary failure:
- `ErrOutOfOrderTxFromDelegated`
- `txpool.ErrInflightTxLimitReached`
- `ErrAuthorityReserved`
- `txpool.ErrUnderpriced`
- `ErrTxPoolOverflow`
- `ErrFutureReplacePending`
Notably, InsufficientBalance is also treated as a permanent error, as
it’s highly unlikely that users will transfer funds into the sender account
after submitting the transaction. Otherwise, users may be confused—seeing
their transaction submitted but unaware that the sender lacks sufficient funds—and
continue waiting for it to be included.

This is an attempt at fixing #31601. I think what happens is the startup
logic will try to get the full block body (it's `bc.loadLastState`) and
fail because genesis block has been pruned from the freezer. This will
cause it to keep repeating the reset logic, causing a deadlock.
This can happen when due to an unsuccessful sync we don't have the state
for the head (or any other state) fully, and try to redo the snap sync.

This PR proposes a change to the authorizations' validation introduced
in commit cdb66c8. These changes make the expected behavior independent
of the order of admission of authorizations, improving the
predictability of the resulting state and the usability of the system
with it.
The current implementation behavior is dependent on the transaction
submission order: This issue is related to authorities and the sender of
a transaction, and can be reproduced respecting the normal nonce rules.
The issue can be reproduced by the two following cases:
**First case**
- Given an empty pool.
- Submit transaction `{ from: B, auths [ A ] }`: is accepted.
- Submit transaction `{ from: A }`: Is accepted: it becomes the one
in-flight transaction allowed.
**Second case**
- Given an empty pool.
- Submit transaction `{ from: A }`: is accepted
- Submit transaction `{ from: B, auths [ A ] }`: is rejected since there
is already a queued/pending transaction from A.
The expected behavior is that both sequences of events would lead to the
same sets of accepted and rejected transactions.
**Proposed changes**
The queued/pending transactions issued from any authority of the
transaction being validated have to be counted, allowing one transaction
from accounts submitting an authorization.
- Notice that the expected behavior was explicitly forbidden in the case
"reject-delegation-from-pending-account", I believe that this behavior
conflicts to the definition of the limitation, and it is removed in this
PR. The expected behavior is tested in
"accept-authorization-from-sender-of-one-inflight-tx".
- Replacement tests have been separated to improve readability of the
acceptance test.
- The test "allow-more-than-one-tx-from-replaced-authority" has been
extended with one extra transaction, since the system would always have
accepted one transaction (but not two).
- The test "accept-one-inflight-tx-of-delegated-account" is extended to
clean-up state, avoiding leaking the delegation used into the other
tests. Additionally, replacement check is removed to be tested in its
own test case.
**Expected behavior**
The expected behavior of the authorizations' validation shall be as
follows:

Notice that replacement shall be allowed, and behavior shall remain
coherent with the table, according to the replaced transaction.

This pull request introduces two constraints in the blobPool:
(a) If the sender has a pending authorization or delegation, only one
in-flight
executable transaction can be cached.
(b) If the authority address in a SetCode transaction is already
reserved by
the blobPool, the transaction will be rejected.
These constraints mitigate an attack where an attacker spams the pool
with
numerous blob transactions, evicts other transactions, and then cancels
all
pending blob transactions by draining the sender’s funds if they have a
delegation.
Note, because there is no exclusive lock held between different subpools
when processing transactions, it's totally possible the SetCode
transaction
and blob transactions with conflict sender and authorities are accepted
simultaneously. I think it's acceptable as it's very hard to be
exploited.

This is an alternative to #31309
With eth/68, transaction announcement must have transaction type and
size. So in announceTransactions, we need to query the transaction from
transaction pool with its hash. This creates overhead in case of blob
transaction which needs to load data from billy and RLP decode. This
commit creates a lightweight lookup from transaction hash to transaction
size and a function GetMetadata to query transaction type and
transaction size given the transaction hash.

This pull request improves the protection mechanism in the txpool for
senders with delegation. A sender with either delegation or pending
delegation is now limited to a maximum of one in-flight executable
transaction, while gapped transactions will be rejected.
Reason:
If nonce-gapped transaction from delegated/pending-delegated senders
can be acceptable, then it's no-longer possible to send another
"executable" transaction with correct nonce due to the policy of at most
one inflight tx. The gapped transaction will be stuck in the txpool, with no
meaningful way to unlock the sender.

Currently, when answering GetPooledTransaction request, txpool.Get() is
used. When the requested hash is blob transaction, blobpool.Get() is
called. This function loads the RLP-encoded transaction from limbo then
decodes and returns. Later, in answerGetPooledTransactions, we need to
RLP encode again. This decode then encode is wasteful. This commit adds
GetRLP to transaction pool interface so that answerGetPooledTransactions
can use the RLP-encoded from limbo directly.

This error log in `legacypool.go` isn't necessary, since even though the
behavior is unexpected, it is handled correctly. A discussion on issue
#22301 concluded that this should instead be a warning log.
This ensures that if we receive a blob transaction announcement where we cannot
link the tx to the sidecar commitments, we will drop the sending peer. This check
is added in the protocol handler for the PooledTransactions message.
Tests for this have also been added in the cross-client "eth" protocol test suite.

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.

In this PR, several improvements have been made:
Authorization-related validations have been moved to legacyPool.
Previously, these checks were part of the standard validation procedure,
which applies common validations across different pools. Since these
checks are specific to SetCode transactions, relocating them to
legacyPool
is a more reasonable choice.
Additionally, authorization conflict checks are now performed regardless
of whether the transaction is a replacement or not.

The new SetCode transaction type introduces some additional complexity
when handling the transaction pool.
This complexity stems from two new account behaviors:
1. The balance and nonce of an account can change during regular
transaction execution *when they have a deployed delegation*.
2. The nonce and code of an account can change without any EVM execution
at all. This is the "set code" mechanism introduced by EIP-7702.
The first issue has already been considered extensively during the design
of ERC-4337, and we're relatively confident in the solution of simply
limiting the number of in-flight pending transactions an account can have
to one. This puts a reasonable bound on transaction cancellation. Normally
to cancel, you would need to spend 21,000 gas. Now it's possible to cancel
for around the cost of warming the account and sending value
(`2,600+9,000=11,600`). So 50% cheaper.
The second issue is more novel and needs further consideration.
Since authorizations are not bound to a specific transaction, we
cannot drop transactions with conflicting authorizations. Otherwise,
it might be possible to cherry-pick authorizations from txs and front
run them with different txs at much lower fee amounts, effectively DoSing
the authority. Fortunately, conflicting authorizations do not affect the
underlying validity of the transaction so we can just accept both.

Replaces #29297, descendant from #27535

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.

This pull request delivers the new version of the state history, where
the raw storage key is used instead of the hash.
Before the cancun fork, it's supported by protocol to destruct a
specific account and therefore, all the storage slot owned by it should
be wiped in the same transition.
Technically, storage wiping should be performed through storage
iteration, and only the storage key hash will be available for traversal
if the state snapshot is not available. Therefore, the storage key hash
is chosen as the identifier in the old version state history.
Fortunately, account self-destruction has been deprecated by the
protocol since the Cancun fork, and there are no empty accounts eligible
for deletion under EIP-158. Therefore, we can conclude that no storage
wiping should occur after the Cancun fork. In this case, it makes no
sense to keep using hash.
Besides, another big reason for making this change is the current format
state history is unusable if verkle is activated. Verkle tree has a
different key derivation scheme (merkle uses keccak256), the preimage of
key hash must be provided in order to make verkle rollback functional.
This pull request is a prerequisite for landing verkle.
Additionally, the raw storage key is more human-friendly for those who
want to manually check the history, even though Solidity already
performs some hashing to derive the storage location.
---
This pull request doesn't bump the database version, as I believe the
database should still be compatible if users degrade from the new geth
version to old one, the only side effect is the persistent new version
state history will be unusable.

This changes the SenderCacher so its goroutines will only be started on first use.
Avoids starting them when package core is just imported but core.BlockChain isn't used.
- it was failing because the maximum data length (previously `dataSize`)
was set to `txMaxSize - 213` but should had been `txMaxSize - 103` and
the last call `dataSize+1+uint64(rand.Intn(10*txMaxSize)))` would
sometimes fail depending on rand.Intn.
- Maximal transaction data size comment (invalid) replaced by code logic
to find the maximum tx length without its data length
- comments and variable naming improved for clarity
- 3rd pool add test replaced to add just 1 above the maximum length,
which is important to ensure the logic is correct

This PR modifies how the metrics library handles `Enabled`: previously,
the package `init` decided whether to serve real metrics or just
dummy-types.
This has several drawbacks:
- During pkg init, we need to determine whether metrics are enabled or
not. So we first hacked in a check if certain geth-specific
commandline-flags were enabled. Then we added a similar check for
geth-env-vars. Then we almost added a very elaborate check for
toml-config-file, plus toml parsing.
- Using "real" types and dummy types interchangeably means that
everything is hidden behind interfaces. This has a performance penalty,
and also it just adds a lot of code.
This PR removes the interface stuff, uses concrete types, and allows for
the setting of Enabled to happen later. It is still assumed that
`metrics.Enable()` is invoked early on.
The somewhat 'heavy' operations, such as ticking meters and exp-decay,
now checks the enable-flag to prevent resource leak.
The change may be large, but it's mostly pretty trivial, and from the
last time I gutted the metrics, I ensured that we have fairly good test
coverage.

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`.

A couple of tests set the debug level to `TRACE` on stdout,
and all subsequent tests in the same package are also affected
by that, resulting in outputs of tens of megabytes.
This PR removes such calls from two packages where it was prevalent.
This makes getting a summary of failing tests simpler, and possibly
reduces some strain from the CI pipeline.
