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.

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.
* core/vm: set basefee to 0 internally on eth_call
* core: nicer 0-basefee, make it work for blob fees too
* internal/ethapi: make tests a bit more complex
* core: fix blob fee checker
* core: make code a bit more readable
* core: fix some test error strings
* core/vm: Get rid of weird comment
* core: dict wrong typo
This updates the reference tests to the latest version and also adds logic
to process EIP-4844 blob transactions into the state transition. We are now
passing most Cancun fork tests.

Here, the core.Message interface turns into a plain struct and
types.Message gets removed.
This is a breaking change to packages core and core/types. While we do
not promise API stability for package core, we do for core/types. An
exception can be made for types.Message, since it doesn't have any
purpose apart from invoking the state transition in package core.
types.Message was also marked deprecated by the same commit it
got added in, 4dca5d4db7 (November 2016).
The core.Message interface was added in December 2014, in commit
db494170dc, for the purpose of 'testing' state transitions. It's the
same change that made transaction struct fields private. Before that,
the state transition used *types.Transaction directly.
Over time, multiple implementations of the interface accrued across
different packages, since constructing a Message is required whenever
one wants to invoke the state transition. These implementations all
looked very similar, a struct with private fields exposing the fields
as accessor methods.
By changing Message into a struct with public fields we can remove all
these useless interface implementations. It will also hopefully
simplify future changes to the type with less updates to apply across
all of go-ethereum when a field is added to Message.

This PR changes the API so that uint64 is used for fork timestamps.
It's a good choice because types.Header also uses uint64 for time.

This PR adds support for block overrides when doing debug_traceCall.
- Previously, debug_traceCall against pending erroneously used a common.Hash{} stateroot when looking up the state, meaning that a totally empty state was used -- so it always failed,
- With this change, we reject executing debug_traceCall against pending.
- And we add ability to override all evm-visible header fields.
* core: implement eip-4399 random opcode
* core: make vmconfig threadsafe
* core: miner: pass vmConfig by value not reference
* all: enable 4399 by Rules
* core: remove diff (f)
* tests: set proper difficulty (f)
* smaller diff (f)
* eth/catalyst: nit
* core: make RANDOM a pointer which is only set post-merge
* cmd/evm/internal/t8ntool: fix t8n tracing of 4399
* tests: set difficulty
* cmd/evm/internal/t8ntool: check that baserules are london before applying the merge chainrules
This is the initial implementation of EIP-1559 in packages core/types and core.
Mining, RPC, etc. will be added in subsequent commits.

Environment is now a struct (not an interface). This
reduces a lot of tech-debt throughout the codebase where a virtual
machine environment had to be implemented in order to test or run it.
The new environment is suitable to be used en the json tests, core
consensus and light client.
