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 introduces a few changes with respect to payload verification in fcu and new payload requests:
* First of all, it undoes the `verifyPayloadAttributes(..)` simplification I attempted in #27872.
* Adds timestamp validation to fcu payload attributes [as required](https://github.com/ethereum/execution-apis/blob/main/src/engine/cancun.md#specification-1) (section 2) by the Engine API spec.
* For the new payload methods, I also update the verification of the executable data. For `newPayloadV2`, it does not currently ensure that cancun values are `nil`. Which could make it possible to submit cancun payloads through it.
* On `newPayloadV3` the same types of checks are added. All shanghai and cancun related fields in the executable data must be non-nil, with the addition that the timestamp is _only_ with cancun.
* Finally it updates a newly failing catalyst test to call the correct fcu and new payload methods depending on the fork.
This is a rewrite of the 'simulated backend', an implementation of the ethclient interfaces
which is backed by a simulated blockchain. It was getting annoying to maintain the old
version of the simulated backend feature because there was a lot of code duplication with
the main client.
The new version is built using parts that we already have: an in-memory geth node instance
running in developer mode provides the chain, while the Go API is provided by ethclient.
A backwards-compatibility wrapper is provided, but the simulated backend has also moved to
a more sensible import path: github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum/ethclient/simulated

This PR replaces Geth's logger package (a fork of [log15](https://github.com/inconshreveable/log15)) with an implementation using slog, a logging library included as part of the Go standard library as of Go1.21.
Main changes are as follows:
* removes any log handlers that were unused in the Geth codebase.
* Json, logfmt, and terminal formatters are now slog handlers.
* Verbosity level constants are changed to match slog constant values. Internal translation is done to make this opaque to the user and backwards compatible with existing `--verbosity` and `--vmodule` options.
* `--log.backtraceat` and `--log.debug` are removed.
The external-facing API is largely the same as the existing Geth logger. Logger method signatures remain unchanged.
A small semantic difference is that a `Handler` can only be set once per `Logger` and not changed dynamically. This just means that a new logger must be instantiated every time the handler of the root logger is changed.

For users of the `go-ethereum/log` module. If you were using this module for your own project, you will need to change the initialization. If you previously did
```golang
log.Root().SetHandler(log.LvlFilterHandler(log.LvlInfo, log.StreamHandler(os.Stderr, log.TerminalFormat(true))))
```
You now instead need to do
```golang
log.SetDefault(log.NewLogger(log.NewTerminalHandlerWithLevel(os.Stderr, log.LevelInfo, true)))
```

geth --dev can be used with an existing data directory and genesis block. Since
dev mode only works with PoS, we need to verify that the merge has happened.

This PR makes EIP-4788 work in the engine API and miner. It also fixes some bugs related to
EIP-4844 block processing and mining. Changes in detail:
- Header.BeaconRoot has been renamed to ParentBeaconRoot.
- The engine API now implements forkchoiceUpdatedV3
- newPayloadV3 method has been updated with the parentBeaconBlockRoot parameter
- beacon root is now applied to new blocks in miner
- For EIP-4844, block creation now updates the blobGasUsed field of the header
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
This is a spin-out from the EIP-4844 devnet branch, containing just the Engine API modifications
and nothing else. The newPayloadV3 endpoint won't really work in this version, but we need the
data structures for testing so I'd like to get this in early.

This change adds back the 'geth --dev' mode of operation, using a cl-mocker.

* all: move main transaction pool into a subpool
* go.mod: remove superfluous updates
* core/txpool: review fixes, handle txs rejected by all subpools
* core/txpool: typos
This ensures the "withdrawals" field will always be present in responses
to getPayloadBodiesByRangeV1 and getPayloadBodiesByHashV1.

Fixes a race in TestNewPayloadOnInvalidTerminalBlock where setting the TTD raced with
the miner. Solution: set the TTD on the blockchain config not the genesis config.
Also fixes a race in CopyHeader which resulted in race reports all over the place.
The method `GetPayloadBodiesByRangeV1` now returns "-38004: Too large request" error if the requested range is too large, according to spec

According to the spec the payloadID needs to be random or dependent on all arguments, to prevent two payloads from clashing. This change adds withdrawals into the payload derivation.

This PR moves core/beacon to beacon/engine so that beacon-chain related code has its own top level package which also can house the the beacon lightclient-code.
This change implements withdrawals as specified in EIP-4895.
