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 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.

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.
