Here we add a beacon chain light client for use by geth.
Geth can now be configured to run against a beacon chain API endpoint,
without pointing a CL to it. To set this up, use the `--beacon.api` flag. Information
provided by the beacon chain is verified, i.e. geth does not blindly trust the beacon
API endpoint in this mode. The root of trust are the beacon chain 'sync committees'.
The configured beacon API endpoint must provide light client data. At this time, only
Lodestar and Nimbus provide the necessary APIs.
There is also a standalone tool, cmd/blsync, which uses the beacon chain light client
to drive any EL implementation via its engine API.

Improving two things here:
On hive, where we look at these tests, the Go code comment above the test
is not visible. When there is a failure, it's not obvious what the test is actually
expecting. I have converted the comments in to printed log messages to
explain the test more.
Second, I noticed that besu is failing some tests because it happens to request
a header when we want it to send transactions. Trying the minimal fix here to
serve the headers.

As mentioned in #26621, the block index format for era1 is not in line with the regular era block index. This change modifies the index so all relative offsets are based against the beginning of the block index record.
* all: implement era format, add history importer/export
* internal/era/e2store: refactor e2store to provide ReadAt interface
* internal/era/e2store: export HeaderSize
* internal/era: refactor era to use ReadAt interface
* internal/era: elevate anonymous func to named
* cmd/utils: don't store entire era file in-memory during import / export
* internal/era: better abstraction between era and e2store
* cmd/era: properly close era files
* cmd/era: don't let defers stack
* cmd/geth: add description for import-history
* cmd/utils: better bytes buffer
* internal/era: error if accumulator has more records than max allowed
* internal/era: better doc comment
* internal/era/e2store: rm superfluous reader, rm superfluous testcases, add fuzzer
* internal/era: avoid some repetition
* internal/era: simplify clauses
* internal/era: unexport things
* internal/era,cmd/utils,cmd/era: change to iterator interface for reading era entries
* cmd/utils: better defer handling in history test
* internal/era,cmd: add number method to era iterator to get the current block number
* internal/era/e2store: avoid double allocation during write
* internal/era,cmd/utils: fix lint issues
* internal/era: add ReaderAt func so entry value can be read lazily

This change makes use of uin256 to represent balance in state. It touches primarily upon statedb, stateobject and state processing, trying to avoid changes in transaction pools, core types, rpc and tracers.
When managing geth, it is sometimes desirable to do a partial wipe; deleting state but retaining freezer data. A partial wipe can be somewhat tricky to accomplish.
This change implements the ability to perform partial wipe by making it possible to run geth removedb non-interactive, using command line options instead.
