* cmd, les, tests: remove light client code
This commit removes the light client (LES) code.
Since the merge the light client has been broken and
it is hard to maintain it alongside the normal client.
We decided it would be best to remove it for now and
maybe rework and reintroduce it in the future.
* cmd, eth: remove some more mentions of light mode
* cmd: re-add flags and mark as deprecated
* cmd: warn the user about deprecated flags
* eth: better error message
Adds a subcommand: `geth snapshot export-preimages`, to export preimages of every hash found during a snapshot enumeration: that is, it exports _only the active state_, and not _all_ preimages that have been used but are no longer part of the state.
This tool is needed for the verkle transition, in order to distribute the preimages needed for the conversion. Since only the 'active' preimages are exported, the output is shrunk from ~70GB to ~4GB.
The order of the output is the order used by the snapshot enumeration, which avoids database thrashing. However, it also means that storage-slot preimages are not deduplicated.
geth --dev can be used with an existing data directory and genesis block. Since
dev mode only works with PoS, we need to verify that the merge has happened.

It turns out that encoding json.RawMessage is slow because
package json basically parses the message again to ensure it is valid.
We can avoid the slowdown by encoding the entire RPC notification once,
which yields a 30% speedup.
* rpc: make subscription test faster
reduces time for TestClientSubscriptionChannelClose
from 25 sec to < 1 sec.
* trie: cache trie nodes for faster sanity check
This reduces the time spent on TestIncompleteSyncHash
from ~25s to ~16s.
* core/forkid: speed up validation test
This takes the validation test from > 5s to sub 1 sec
* core/state: improve snapshot test run
brings the time for TestSnapshotRandom from 13s down to 6s
* accounts/keystore: improve keyfile test
This removes some unnecessary waits and reduces the
runtime of TestUpdatedKeyfileContents from 5 to 3 seconds
* trie: remove resolver
* trie: only check ~5% of all trie nodes
This change adds a check to ensure that transactions added to the legacy pool are not treated as 'locals' if the global locals-management has been disabled.
This change makes the pool enforce the --txpool.pricelimit setting.
This PR verifies the accounts' storage as specified in a blockchain test's postState field
The expect-section, it does really only check that the test works. It's meant for the test-author to verify that "If the test does what it's supposed to, then the nonce of X should be 2, and the slot Y at Z should be 0x123.
This expect-section is not exhaustive (not full post-state)
It is also not auto-generated, but put there manually by the author.
We can still check it, as a test-sanity-check, in geth
* trie: use pooling of iterator states in iterator
The node iterator burns through a lot of memory while iterating a trie, and a lot of
that can be avoided by using a fairly small pool (max 40 items).

* ethdb/memorydb: avoid one copying of key
By making the transformation from []byte to string at an earlier point,
we save an allocation which otherwise happens later on.

This PR moves our fuzzers from tests/fuzzers into whatever their respective 'native' package is.
The historical reason why they were placed in an external location, is that when they were based on go-fuzz, they could not be "hidden" via the _test.go prefix. So in order to shove them away from the go-ethereum "production code", they were put aside.
But now we've rewritten them to be based on golang testing, and thus can be brought back. I've left (in tests/) the ones that are not production (bls128381), require non-standard imports (secp requires btcec, bn256 requires gnark/google/cloudflare deps).
This PR also adds a fuzzer for precompiled contracts, because why not.
This PR utilizes a newly rewritten replacement for go-118-fuzz-build, namely gofuzz-shim, which utilises the inputs from the fuzzing engine better.
This change allows the creation of a genesis block for verkle testnets. This makes for a chunk of code that is easier to review and still touches many discussion points.
