This PR is a first step towards removing account management from geth,
and contains a lot of the user-facing changes.
With this PR, the `personal` namespace disappears. **Note**: `personal`
namespace has been deprecated for quite some time (since
https://github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum/pull/26390 1 year and 8 months
ago), and users who have wanted to use it has been forced to used the
flag `--rpc.enabledeprecatedpersonal`. So I think it's fairly
non-controversial to drop it at this point.
Specifically, this means:
- Account/wallet listing
-`personal.getListAccounts`
-`personal.listAccounts`
-`personal.getListWallets`
-`personal.listWallets`
- Lock/unlock
-`personal.lockAccount`
-`personal.openWallet`
-`personal.unlockAccount`
- Sign ops
-`personal.sign`
-`personal.sendTransaction`
-`personal.signTransaction`
- Imports / inits
-`personal.deriveAccount`
-`personal.importRawKey`
-`personal.initializeWallet`
-`personal.newAccount`
-`personal.unpair`
- Other:
-`personal.ecRecover`
The underlying keystores and account managent code is still in place,
which means that `geth --dev` still works as expected, so that e.g. the
example below still works:
```
> eth.sendTransaction({data:"0x6060", value: 1, from:eth.accounts[0]})
```
Also, `ethkey` and `clef` are untouched.
With the removal of `personal`, as far as I know we have no more API
methods which contain credentials, and if we want to implement
logging-capabilities of RPC ingress payload, it would be possible after
this.

Fixes#26505 where the console crashed when a property getter
raised an exception during autocompletion. I also noticed while fixing this
issue that autocomplete wasn't working for objects/fields with numbers in
them (most importantly web3.<tab><tab>) which is also now fixed.
Previously, Ctrl-C (SIGINT) was ignored during JS execution, so it was not
possible to get out of infinite loops in the console. With this change,
Ctrl-C now interrupts JS.
Fixes#23344

The leaks were mostly in unit tests, and could all be resolved by
adding suitably-sized channel buffers or by restructuring the test
to not send on a channel after an error has occurred.
There is an unavoidable goroutine leak in Console.Interactive: when
we receive a signal, the line reader cannot be unblocked and will get
stuck. This leak is now documented and I've tried to make it slightly
less bad by adding a one-element buffer to the output channels of
the line-reading loop. Should the reader eventually awake from its
blocked state (i.e. when stdin is closed), at least it won't get stuck
trying to send to the interpreter loop which has quit long ago.

This replaces the JavaScript interpreter used by the console with goja,
which is actively maintained and a lot faster than otto. Clef still uses otto
and eth/tracers still uses duktape, so we are currently dependent on three
different JS interpreters. We're looking to replace the remaining uses of otto
soon though.
This commit includes several API changes:
- The behavior of eth_sign is changed. It now accepts an arbitrary
message, prepends the well-known string
\x19Ethereum Signed Message:\n<length of message>
hashes the result using keccak256 and calculates the signature of
the hash. This breaks backwards compatability!
- personal_sign(hash, address [, password]) is added. It has the same
semantics as eth_sign but also accepts a password. The private key
used to sign the hash is temporarily unlocked in the scope of the
request.
- personal_recover(message, signature) is added and returns the
address for the account that created a signature.
