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.
The code to compute a versioned hash was duplicated a couple times, and also had a small
issue: if we ever change params.BlobTxHashVersion, it will most likely also cause changes
to the actual hash computation. So it's a bit useless to have this constant in params.
EIP-4844 adds a new transaction type for blobs. Users can submit such transactions via `eth_sendRawTransaction`. In this PR we refrain from adding support to `eth_sendTransaction` and in fact it will fail if the user passes in a blob hash.
However since the chain can handle such transactions it makes sense to allow simulating them. E.g. an L2 operator should be able to simulate submitting a rollup blob and updating the L2 state. Most methods that take in a transaction object should recognize blobs. The change boils down to adding `blobVersionedHashes` and `maxFeePerBlobGas` to `TransactionArgs`. In summary:
- `eth_sendTransaction`: will fail for blob txes
- `eth_signTransaction`: will fail for blob txes
The methods that sign txes does not, as of this PR, add support the for new EIP-4844 transaction types. Resuming the summary:
- `eth_sendRawTransaction`: can send blob txes
- `eth_fillTransaction`: will fill in a blob tx. Note: here we simply fill in normal transaction fields + possibly `maxFeePerBlobGas` when blobs are present. One can imagine a more elaborate set-up where users can submit blobs themselves and we fill in proofs and commitments and such. Left for future PRs if desired.
- `eth_call`: can simulate blob messages
- `eth_estimateGas`: blobs have no effect here. They have a separate unit of gas which is not tunable in the transaction.
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.
