more direct consensus finding code

this hopefully has less bugs. speed isn't super important since this isn't on the host path.

- [x] maybe we shouldn't route eth_getLogs to syncing nodes. serving queries slows down sync significantly
- change the send_best function to only include servers that are at least close to fully synced
- [-] have private transactions be enabled by a url setting rather than a setting on the key
- [ ] eth_sendRawTransaction should only forward if the chain_id matches what we are running
- [ ] cli for adding rpc keys to an existing user
- [ ] rate limiting/throttling on query_user_stats
- [ ] web3rpc configs should have a max_concurrent_requests

- [ ] implement remaining subscriptions
- would be nice if our subscriptions had better gaurentees than geth/erigon do, but maybe simpler to just setup a broadcast channel and proxy all the respones to a backend instead
- [ ] tests should use `test-env-log = "0.2.8"`
- [ ] eth_sendRawTransaction should only forward if the chain_id matches what we are running
- [ ] weighted random choice should still prioritize non-archive servers
- maybe shuffle randomly and then sort by (block_limit, random_index)?
- maybe sum available_requests grouped by archive/non-archive. only limit to non-archive if they have enough?
