This PR adds functionality to the evm t8n to calculate ethash difficulty. If the caller does not provide a currentDifficulty, but instead provides the parentTimestamp (well, semi-optional, will default to 0 if not given), and parentDifficulty, we can calculate it for him. The caller can also provide a parentUncleHash. In most, but not all cases, the parent uncle hash also affects the formula. If no such hash is provided (or, if the empty all-zero hash is provided), it's assumed that there were no uncles.

Difficulty calculation
This test shows how the evm t8n can be used to calculate the (ethash) difficulty, if none is provided by the caller.
Calculating it (with an empty set of txs) using London rules (and no provided unclehash for the parent block):

Same thing, but this time providing a non-empty (and non-emptyKeccak) unclehash, which leads to a slightly different result:
