This is a rewrite of the 'simulated backend', an implementation of the ethclient interfaces
which is backed by a simulated blockchain. It was getting annoying to maintain the old
version of the simulated backend feature because there was a lot of code duplication with
the main client.
The new version is built using parts that we already have: an in-memory geth node instance
running in developer mode provides the chain, while the Go API is provided by ethclient.
A backwards-compatibility wrapper is provided, but the simulated backend has also moved to
a more sensible import path: github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum/ethclient/simulated

This PR replaces Geth's logger package (a fork of [log15](https://github.com/inconshreveable/log15)) with an implementation using slog, a logging library included as part of the Go standard library as of Go1.21.
Main changes are as follows:
* removes any log handlers that were unused in the Geth codebase.
* Json, logfmt, and terminal formatters are now slog handlers.
* Verbosity level constants are changed to match slog constant values. Internal translation is done to make this opaque to the user and backwards compatible with existing `--verbosity` and `--vmodule` options.
* `--log.backtraceat` and `--log.debug` are removed.
The external-facing API is largely the same as the existing Geth logger. Logger method signatures remain unchanged.
A small semantic difference is that a `Handler` can only be set once per `Logger` and not changed dynamically. This just means that a new logger must be instantiated every time the handler of the root logger is changed.

For users of the `go-ethereum/log` module. If you were using this module for your own project, you will need to change the initialization. If you previously did
```golang
log.Root().SetHandler(log.LvlFilterHandler(log.LvlInfo, log.StreamHandler(os.Stderr, log.TerminalFormat(true))))
```
You now instead need to do
```golang
log.SetDefault(log.NewLogger(log.NewTerminalHandlerWithLevel(os.Stderr, log.LevelInfo, true)))
```

* eth/gasestimator: early exit for plain transfer and error allowance
* core, eth/gasestimator: hard guess at a possible required gas
* internal/ethapi: update estimation tests with the error ratio
* eth/gasestimator: I hate you linter
* graphql: fix gas estimation test

This change fixes two type-inconsistencies in the JS tracer:
- In most places we return byte arrays as a `Uint8Array` to the tracer. However it seems we missed doing the conversion for `ctx` fields which are passed to the tracer during `result`. They are passed as simple arrays. I think Uint8Arrays are more suitable and we should change this inconsistency. Note: this will be a breaking-change. But I believe the effect is small. If we look at our tracers we see that these fields (`ctx.from`, `ctx.to`, etc.) are used in 2 ways. Passed to `toHex` which takes both array or buffer. Or the length was measured which is the same for both types.
- The `slice` taking in `int, int` params versus `memory.slice` taking `int64, int64` params. I suggest changing `slice` types to `int64`. This should have no effect almost in any case.
There were several problems related to dumping state.
- If a preimage was missing, even if we had set the `OnlyWithAddresses` to `false`, to export them anyway, the way the mapping was constructed (using `common.Address` as key) made the entries get lost anyway. Concerns both state- and blockchain tests.
- Blockchain test execution was not configured to store preimages.
This changes makes it so that the block test executor takes a callback, just like the state test executor already does. This callback can be used to examine the post-execution state, e.g. to aid debugging of test failures.
