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

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 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.
