rayoo 8aeef6ae1b eth/tracers: fix data race on interruption reason across tracers
Every tracer that implements Stop/GetResult held a `reason error`
field that is written by Stop (called from the trace-timeout watchdog
goroutine in api.go) and read by GetResult (called by the RPC handler
main goroutine). These accesses were unsynchronized.

Because Go's error is an interface, a racing reader can observe a
torn eface (type pointer and data pointer from different stores),
which is undefined behaviour and can crash the node.

Replace the plain field with atomic.Pointer[error] in:

  - eth/tracers/native/call.go          (callTracer)
  - eth/tracers/native/4byte.go         (fourByteTracer)
  - eth/tracers/native/erc7562.go       (erc7562Tracer)
  - eth/tracers/native/prestate.go      (prestateTracer)
  - eth/tracers/logger/logger.go        (StructLogger)

The flatCallTracer shares callTracer.reason and is fixed transitively.

Add TestTracerStopRace which exercises the concurrent Stop/GetResult
path under -race for each of the five tracers. It fails on master
with the race detector, passes after the fix.
