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.

The prestateTracer was reporting an inaccurate nonce for the contract being created in
post EIP-158 transactions. Correct nonce is 0, due to the issue nonce was being reported as 1.

eth_call and debug_traceCall allow users to override various block fields, among them base fee. However the overriden base fee was not considered for computing the effective gas price of that message, and instead base fee of the base block was used. This has been fixed in this commit.

This change makes the legacy transaction pool use of `uint256.Int` instead of `big.Int`. The changes are made primarily only on the internal functions of legacypool.

We backported branch `extended-tracer` at commit 3078dfe80b back to v1.13.5 of Geth.
To achieve the backport, we did:
- git checkout -b extended-tracer-squashed
- git reset --hard 3078dfe80b
- git reset --mixed fc380f52ef # This was the latest merged commit not from `extended-tracer` branch
- git commit -A -m "<This message>"
- git checkout v1.13.5
- git checkout -b extended-tracer-backport-v1.13.5
- git cherry-pick extended-tracer-squashed
* eth, miner: fix enforcing the minimum miner tip
* ethclient/simulated: fix failing test due the min tip change
* accounts/abi/bind: fix simulater gas tip issue
We removed the `precompile` check on `OnNewAccount` and moved it to the Firehose tracer directly. This way, we can remove our custom logic that toggle the check at the tracing code level and we can instead move the logic of backward compatibility back `FirehoseTracer`.
Refactored a bit also how precompiles are check. We moved the precompiles checker up to the block level now that `chainConfig` is available on `OnBlockStart` meaning we can extract the list of active precompiles. However, to make it work, we had to modify `OnGenesisBlock` to also receive `chainConfig` parameter, I've ask to add it to the geth codebase directly.

At some point, `ForkchoiceUpdatedV2` stopped working for `PayloadAttributesV1` while `paris` was active. This was causing a few failures in hive. This PR fixes that, and also adds a gate in `ForkchoiceUpdatedV1` to disallow `PayloadAttributesV3`.
GetPayloadVX should only return payloads which match its version. GetPayloadV2 is a special snowflake that supports v1 and v2 payloads. This change uses a a version-specific prefix within in the payload id, basically a namespace for the version number.
This PR fixes an issues in the new simulated backend. The root cause is the fact that the transaction pool has an internal reset operation that runs on a background thread.
When a new transaction is added to the pool via the RPC, the transaction is added to a non-executable queue and will be moved to its final location on a background thread. If the machine is overloaded (or simply due to timing issues), it can happen that the simulated backend will try to produce the next block, whilst the pool has not yet marked the newly added transaction executable. This will cause the block to not contain the transaction. This is an issue because we want determinism from the simulator: add a tx, mine a block. It should be in there.
The PR fixes it by adding a Sync function to the txpool, which waits for the current reset operation (if any) to finish, and then runs an entire round of reset on top. The new round is needed because resets are only triggered by new head events, so newly added transactions will not trigger the outer resets that we can wait on. The transaction pool would eventually internally do a reset even on transaction addition, but there's no easy way to wait on that and there's no meaningful reason to bubble that across everything. A clean outer reset will at worse be a small noop goroutine.
This PR introduces a few changes with respect to payload verification in fcu and new payload requests:
* First of all, it undoes the `verifyPayloadAttributes(..)` simplification I attempted in #27872.
* Adds timestamp validation to fcu payload attributes [as required](https://github.com/ethereum/execution-apis/blob/main/src/engine/cancun.md#specification-1) (section 2) by the Engine API spec.
* For the new payload methods, I also update the verification of the executable data. For `newPayloadV2`, it does not currently ensure that cancun values are `nil`. Which could make it possible to submit cancun payloads through it.
* On `newPayloadV3` the same types of checks are added. All shanghai and cancun related fields in the executable data must be non-nil, with the addition that the timestamp is _only_ with cancun.
* Finally it updates a newly failing catalyst test to call the correct fcu and new payload methods depending on the fork.
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.
This change simplifies the logic for indexing transactions and enhances the UX when transaction is not found by returning more information to users.
Transaction indexing is now considered as a part of the initial sync, and `eth.syncing` will thus be `true` if transaction indexing is not yet finished. API consumers can use the syncing status to determine if the node is ready to serve users.
The code to compute a versioned hash was duplicated a couple times, and also had a small
issue: if we ever change params.BlobTxHashVersion, it will most likely also cause changes
to the actual hash computation. So it's a bit useless to have this constant in params.
In the tracing tests, the base fee was generally set to nil. This commit changes this to pass the proper base instead, and fixes the few tests which become broken by the change.
