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.

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 ensures that RPC method handlers will react to a timeout or
cancelled request soon after the event occurs.

Currently calling `debug_TraceTransaction` with a transaction hash that doesn't exist returns a confusing error: `genesis is not traceable`. This PR changes the behaviour to instead return an error message saying `transaction not found`

This PR introduces a new mechanism in chain tracer for preventing creating too many trace states.
The workflow of chain tracer can be divided into several parts:
- state creator generates trace state in a thread
- state tracer retrieves the trace state and applies the tracing on top in another thread
- state collector gathers all result from state tracer and stream to users
It's basically a producer-consumer model here, while if we imagine that the state producer generates states too fast, then it will lead to accumulate lots of unused states in memory. Even worse, in path-based state scheme it will only keep the latest 128 states in memory, and the newly generated state will invalidate the oldest one by marking it as stale.
The solution for fixing it is to limit the speed of state generation. If there are over 128 states un-consumed in memory, then the creation will be paused until the states are be consumed properly.
This PR simplifies the logic of chain tracer and also adds the unit tests.
The most important change has been made in this PR is the state management. Whenever a tracing state is acquired there is a corresponding release function be returned as well. It must be called once the state is used up, otherwise resource leaking can happen.
And also the logic of state management has been simplified a lot. Specifically, the state provider(eth backend, les backend) should ensure the state is available and referenced. State customers can use the state according to their own needs, or build other states based on the given state. But once the release function is called, there is no guarantee of the availability of the state.

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.
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.

Notes: the AppendAncient plugin hook is broken by this commit.
This adds CaptureEnter() and CaptureExit() as no-ops for interface
compliance, but these capabilities should be added for plugin tracers
soon.
This PR fixes an issue in traceChain, where the statedb Commit operation was performed asynchronously with dereference-operations agains the underlying trie.Database instance. Due to how the reference counting works within the trie database (where parent count is recursively updated when new parents are added), doing dereferencing in the middle of Commit can cause the refcount to become wrong, leading to an inconsistent state.
This was fixed by doing Commit/Deref from the same routine.
This PR implements a new debug method, which I've talked briefly about to some other client developers. It allows the caller to obtain the intermediate state roots for a block (which might be either a canon block or a 'bad' block).
When the plugin loader itself had to know the types in the arguments
and return values of the plugin functions, it was very difficult to
avoid import loops, given that the types were often defined in the
same package that needed to invoke the plugins.
Under this model, the plugin loader has much less knowledge of the
plugins themselves, and within each package we define functions to
interact with the plugins.
