cmd/evm: implement input txs via rlp in t8n tool (#23138)

In many cases, it's desireable to use already-signed transactions as input to the state transition, instead of having the evm sign them internally (for example to use malformed or not-yet-valid transactions). This PR adds support + docs for that feature.

What happened here, is that we first applied two identical transactions, so the second one was rejected.
@ -267,3 +287,52 @@ the same two transactions: this time, both failed due to too low nonce.
In order to meaningfully chain invocations, one would need to provide meaningful new `env`, otherwise the
actual blocknumber (exposed to the EVM) would not increase.
### Transactions in RLP form
It is possible to provide already-signed transactions as input to, using an `input.txs` which ends with the `rlp` suffix.
The input format for RLP-form transactions is _identical_ to the _output_ format for block bodies. Therefore, it's fully possible
to use the evm to go from `json` input to `rlp` input.
The following command takes **json** the transactions in `./testdata/13/txs.json` and signs them. After execution, they are output to `signed_txs.rlp`.:
```
./evm t8n --state.fork=London --input.alloc=./testdata/13/alloc.json --input.txs=./testdata/13/txs.json --input.env=./testdata/13/env.json --output.result=alloc_jsontx.json --output.body=signed_txs.rlp

INFO [07-27|11:53:41.125] Wrote file file=signed_txs.rlp
```
The `output.body` is the rlp-list of transactions, encoded in hex and placed in a string a'la `json` encoding rules:
```
cat signed_txs.rlp
"0xf8d2b86702f864010180820fa08284d09411111111111111111111111111111111111111118080c001a0b7dfab36232379bb3d1497a4f91c1966b1f932eae3ade107bf5d723b9cb474e0a06261c359a10f2132f126d250485b90cf20f30340801244a08ef6142ab33d1904b86702f864010280820fa08284d09411111111111111111111111111111111111111118080c080a0d4ec563b6568cd42d998fc4134b36933c6568d01533b5adf08769270243c6c7fa072bf7c21eac6bbeae5143371eef26d5e279637f3bd73482b55979d76d935b1e9"
```
We can use `rlpdump` to check what the contents are:
```
rlpdump -hex $(cat signed_txs.rlp | jq -r )

]
```
Now, we can now use those (or any other already signed transactions), as input, like so:
```
./evm t8n --state.fork=London --input.alloc=./testdata/13/alloc.json --input.txs=./signed_txs.rlp --input.env=./testdata/13/env.json --output.result=alloc_rlptx.json

INFO [07-27|11:53:41.253] Wrote file file=alloc.json
INFO [07-27|11:53:41.255] Wrote file file=alloc_rlptx.json
```
You might have noticed that the results from these two invocations were stored in two separate files.
And we can now finally check that they match.
```
cat alloc_jsontx.json | jq .stateRoot && cat alloc_rlptx.json | jq .stateRoot
