On ACD 163, it was agreed to bump the target and max blob values from `2/4` to `3/6` for future devnets until we could decide on final mainnet number. This change contains said update, making master pass all the hive tests. The final decision for mainnet cancun is still to be made.

This change improves function description and simplifies logic in statedb update and commit operations.

This chang creates a GaugeInfo metrics type for registering informational (textual) metrics, e.g. geth version number. It also improves the testing for backend-exporters, and uses a shared subpackage in 'internal' to provide sample datasets and ordered registry. 

Implements #21783

A while back, statetests started coming with sender baked in, which at least 
evmone makes use of. Let's make use of that too, and save some cycles.

fix typo

This makes it possible to run the execution-spec-tests (a.k.a. pyspec) in CI.

This change defers to the blockchain for in what circumstances to return error, instead of handling many error-cases in the api backend.

This changes implements faster post-selfdestruct iteration of storage slots for deletion, by using snapshot-storage+stacktrie to recover the trienodes to be deleted. This mechanism is only implemented for path-based schema. 

For hash-based schema, the entire post-selfdestruct storage iteration is skipped, with this change, since hash-based does not actually perform deletion anyway.

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.

Adds an option to disable fsync for database operations.
This is to make tests faster.
