Here we add a Go API for running tracing plugins within the main block import process.
As an advanced user of geth, you can now create a Go file in eth/tracers/live/, and within
that file register your custom tracer implementation. Then recompile geth and select your tracer
on the command line. Hooks defined in the tracer will run whenever a block is processed.
The hook system is defined in package core/tracing. It uses a struct with callbacks, instead of
requiring an interface, for several reasons:
- We plan to keep this API stable long-term. The core/tracing hook API does not depend on
on deep geth internals.
- There are a lot of hooks, and tracers will only need some of them. Using a struct allows you
to implement only the hooks you want to actually use.
All existing tracers in eth/tracers/native have been rewritten to use the new hook system.
This change breaks compatibility with the vm.EVMLogger interface that we used to have.
If you are a user of vm.EVMLogger, please migrate to core/tracing, and sorry for breaking
your stuff. But we just couldn't have both the old and new tracing APIs coexist in the EVM.

Currently, one can use the "withLogs" parameter to include logs in the
callTracer results, which allows the user to see at which trace level
was each log emitted.
This commit adds a position field to the logs which determine
the exact ordering of a call's logs and its subcalls. This would
be useful e.g. for explorers wishing to display the flow of execution.

This includes a semantic change to the `callTracer` as well as `flatCallTracer`.
The value of field `gas` in the **first** call frame will change as follows:
- It previously contained gas available after initial deductions (i.e. tx costs)
- It will now contain the full tx gasLimit value

This PR fixes OOM panic in the callTracer as well as panicing on
opcode validation errors (e.g. stack underflow) in callTracer and
prestateTracer.

Adds support for a native call tracer with the Parity format, which outputs call frames
in a flat array. This tracer accepts the following options:
- `convertParityErrors: true` will convert error messages to match those of Parity
- `includePrecompiles: true` will report all calls to precompiles. The default
matches Parity's behavior where CALL and STATICCALLs to precompiles are excluded
Incompatibilities with Parity include:
- Parity removes the result object in case of failure. This behavior is maintained
with the exception of reverts. Revert output usually contains useful information,
i.e. Solidity revert reason.
- The `gasUsed` field accounts for intrinsic gas (e.g. 21000 for simple transfers)
and refunds unlike Parity
- Block rewards are not reported

This makes non-JS tracers execute all block txs on a single goroutine.
In the previous implementation, we used to prepare every tx pre-state
on one goroutine, and then run the transactions again with tracing enabled.
Native tracers are usually faster, so it is faster overall to use their output as
the pre-state for tracing the next transaction.

This removes the 'time' field from logs, as well as from the tracer interface. This change makes the trace output deterministic. If a tracer needs the time they can measure it themselves. No need for evm to do this.

In some cases, it is desirable to capture what is triggered by each trace, when using the `callTracer`. For example: call `USDT.transfer` will trigger a `Transfer(from, to, value)` event.
This PR adds the option to capture logs to the call tracer, by specifying `{"withLog": true}` in the tracerconfig.
Any logs belonging to failed/reverted call-scopes are removed from the output, to prevent interpretation mistakes.

Inner call reverts will now return the reason similar to the top-level call. Separately, if top-level call is of type CREATE and it fails, its `to` field will now be cleared to `0x00...00` instead of being set to the created address.
* eth/tracers: fix gasUsed in call tracer
* fix js tracers gasUsed
* fix legacy prestate tracer
* fix restGas in test
* drop intrinsicGas field from js tracers
The call tracer and prestate tracer store data JSON-encoded in memory. In order to support alternative encodings (specifically RLP), it's better to keep data a native format during tracing. This PR does marshalling at the end, using gencodec.
OBS!
This PR changes the call tracer result slightly:
- Order of type and value fields are changed (should not matter).
- Output fields are completely omitted when they're empty (no more output: "0x"). Previously, this was only _sometimes_ omitted (e.g. when call ended in a non-revert error) and otherwise 0x when the output was actually empty.
This PR allows users to pass in a config object directly to the tracers. Previously only the struct logger was configurable.
It also adds an option to the call tracer which if enabled makes it ignore any subcall and collect only information about the top-level call. See #25419 for discussion.
The tracers will silently ignore if they are passed a config they don't care about.
