This fix a minor implementation issue with the newly introduced isGapped function and it is described in ticket: https://github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum/issues/27401

* core/state/snapshot, core/types, eth: move account definition to type

* core, eth: revert snapshot Account API change

* core: crypto: implement BLOBHASH and pointEval precompile

* core: crypto: fixed nitpicks, moved precompile return value

* core/vm: fix review comments

* core/state: remove cached snap data if reset occurs

* core/state: address comment from peter

* core/state: skip revert in case data is nil

* eth/downloader: drop beacon head updates if the syncer is restarting

* eth/donwloader: v2 of the goroutine spike preventer

This changes the journal logic to mark the state object dirty immediately when it
is reset. 

We're mostly adding this change to appease the fuzzer. Marking it dirty immediately
makes no difference in practice because accounts will always be modified by EVM
right after creation.

Continuing with a series of PRs to make the Trie interface more generic, this PR moves
the RLP encoding of storage slots inside the StateTrie and light.Trie implementations,
as other types of tries don't use RLP.

* p2p/discover: remove ReadRandomNodes

Even though it's public, this method is not callable by code outside of
package p2p/discover because one can't get a valid instance of Table.

* p2p/discover: add Table.Nodes

* p2p/discover: make Table settings configurable

In unit tests and externally developed cmd/devp2p test runs, it can be
useful to tune the timer intervals used by Table.

go.mod:golang upgrade

Drop the notions of uncles, and disables activities while syncing

-  Disable activities (e.g. generate pending state) while node is syncing,
-  Disable empty block submission (but empty block is still kept for payload building),
-  Drop uncle notion since (ethash is already deprecated)

Deserialize hex keys early to shortcut on invalid input, and re-use the account storageTrie for each proof for each proof in the account, preventing repeated deep-copying of the trie.

Closes #27308

This change splits up the multiple API functions / namespaces currently defined in the eth package into different per-namespace files. 

RPC methods `eth_getHeaderBy*` returned a size value which was meant for internal
processes. Please instead use `size` field returned by `eth_getBlockBy*` if you're interested
in the RLP encoded storage size of the block.

This change implements async log retrievals via feeding logs in channels, instead of returning slices. This is a first step to implement #15063.

ethclient accepts certain negative block number values as specifiers for the "pending",
"safe" and "finalized" block. In case of "pending", the value accepted by ethclient (-1)
did not match rpc.PendingBlockNumber (-2).

This wasn't really a problem, but other values accepted by ethclient did match the
definitions in package rpc, and it's weird to have this one special case where they don't.

To fix it, we decided to change the values of the constants rather than changing ethclient.
The constant values are not otherwise significant. This is a breaking API change, but we
believe not a dangerous one.

implements the ability to run several state-tests in one instance. By not providing a statetest path to the `evm statetest` command, the path(s) will instead be read from `stdin`.
