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 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.

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.
