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
Just some minor optimizations I figured out a while ago. By using ReadBytes instead of
Bytes on the rlp stream, we can save the allocation of a temporary buffer for the typed tx
payload.
If kind == rlp.Byte, the size reported by Stream.Kind will be zero, but we need a buffer
of size 1 for ReadBytes. Since typed txs always have to be longer than 1 byte, we can just
return an error for kind == rlp.Byte.
There is a also a small change for Log: since the first three fields of Log are the ones that
should appear in the canon encoding, we can simply ignore the remaining fields via
struct tag. Doing this removes an indirection through the rlpLog type.

We're trying a new named pipe library, which should hopefully fix some occasional failures in CI.

The PR #26274 broke the evm statetest command a bit, in that it stopped spitting out the stateroot following a non-successful statetest-execution.
This PR changes it back, so the stateroot is unconditionally output on stderr, and makes it so fuzzing works again.
This change implements "EIP 4788 : Beacon block root in the EVM". It implements version-2 of EPI-4788, main difference being that the contract is an actual contract rather than a precompile, as in #27289.
Currently, we trigger the logic to (un)index transactions when the node receives a new
block. However, in some cases the node may not receive new blocks (eg, when the Geth node
is configured without peer discovery, or when it acts as an RPC node for historical-only
data).
In these situations, the Geth node user may not have previously configured txlookuplimit
(i.e. the default of around one year), but later realizes they need to index all
historical blocks. However, adding txlookuplimit=0 and restarting geth has no effect. This
change makes it check for required indexing work once, on startup, to fix the issue.

Optimizations:
- Previously, if a transaction was reverting, EstimateGas would exhibit worst-case behavior and binary search up to the max gas limit (~40 state-clone + tx executions). This change allows EstimateGas to return after only a single unconstrained execution in this scenario.
- Uses the gas used from the unconstrained execution to bias the remaining binary search towards the likely solution in a simple way that doesn't impact the worst case. For a typical contract-invoking transaction, this reduces the median number of state-clone+executions from 25 to 18 (28% reduction).
Cleanup:
- added & improved function + code comments
- correct the EstimateGas documentation to clarify the gas limit determination is at latest block, not pending, if the blockNr is unspecified.
ReadSkeletonHeader can return nil if the header is missing, so we should
not access fields on it. Note that calling .Hash() on a nil header is fine, so there
is no need to actually check for nil.

This changes the forkID calculation to ignore time-based forks that occurred before the
genesis block. It's supposed to be done this way because the spec says:
> If a chain is configured to start with a non-Frontier ruleset already in its genesis, that is NOT considered a fork.
This raises the JSON-RPC batch request limits significantly for the engine API endpoint.
The limits are now also hard-coded, so users won't get them wrong. I have chosen these limits:
maximum batch items: 2000
maximum batch response size: 250MB
While it would also be possible to disable batch limits completely for the engine API,
I think having some limits is a good safety net against misbehaving CLs. Since this
isn't configurable, we really want to ensure this limit will never become an issue in the
CL/EL communication, so I set them quite high.
