This PR fixes an issues in the new simulated backend. The root cause is the fact that the transaction pool has an internal reset operation that runs on a background thread.
When a new transaction is added to the pool via the RPC, the transaction is added to a non-executable queue and will be moved to its final location on a background thread. If the machine is overloaded (or simply due to timing issues), it can happen that the simulated backend will try to produce the next block, whilst the pool has not yet marked the newly added transaction executable. This will cause the block to not contain the transaction. This is an issue because we want determinism from the simulator: add a tx, mine a block. It should be in there.
The PR fixes it by adding a Sync function to the txpool, which waits for the current reset operation (if any) to finish, and then runs an entire round of reset on top. The new round is needed because resets are only triggered by new head events, so newly added transactions will not trigger the outer resets that we can wait on. The transaction pool would eventually internally do a reset even on transaction addition, but there's no easy way to wait on that and there's no meaningful reason to bubble that across everything. A clean outer reset will at worse be a small noop goroutine.
This PR removes the newly added txpool.Transaction wrapper type, and instead adds a way
of keeping the blob sidecar within types.Transaction. It's better this way because most
code in go-ethereum does not care about blob transactions, and probably never will. This
will start mattering especially on the client side of RPC, where all APIs are based on
types.Transaction. Users need to be able to use the same signing flows they already
have.
However, since blobs are only allowed in some places but not others, we will now need to
add checks to avoid creating invalid blocks. I'm still trying to figure out the best place
to do some of these. The way I have it currently is as follows:
- In block validation (import), txs are verified not to have a blob sidecar.
- In miner, we strip off the sidecar when committing the transaction into the block.
- In TxPool validation, txs must have a sidecar to be added into the blobpool.
- Note there is a special case here: when transactions are re-added because of a chain
reorg, we cannot use the transactions gathered from the old chain blocks as-is,
because they will be missing their blobs. This was previously handled by storing the
blobs into the 'blobpool limbo'. The code has now changed to store the full
transaction in the limbo instead, but it might be confusing for code readers why we're
not simply adding the types.Transaction we already have.
Code changes summary:
- txpool.Transaction removed and all uses replaced by types.Transaction again
- blobpool now stores types.Transaction instead of defining its own blobTx format for storage
- the blobpool limbo now stores types.Transaction instead of storing only the blobs
- checks to validate the presence/absence of the blob sidecar added in certain critical places

Prior to this change, it was possible that transactions are erroneously deemed as 'future' although they are in fact 'pending', causing them to be dropped due to 'future' not being allowed to replace 'pending'.
This change fixes that, by doing a more in-depth inspection of the queue.
Currently, most of transaction validation while holding the txpool mutex: one exception being an early-on signature check.
This PR changes that, so that we do all non-stateful checks before we entering the mutex area. This means they can be performed in parallel, and to enable that, certain fields have been made atomic bools and uint64.
This adds two new rules to the transaction pool:
- A future transaction can not evict a pending transaction.
- A transaction can not overspend available funds of a sender.

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.
