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`. 

fixes bug which caused the zero-address to be ignored during an iterative state-dump.

FlatCallTracer had a crasher when it was passed `onlyTopCall: true` as config.
This PR ignores config fields inherited from the normal call tracer.

Adds `ErrorById` lookup

Upgrades  graphiql to v2.4.4. The interface has become much nicer, and there are extra features like tabs, history, dark mode etc.

This change also now uses golang embed to bundle the resources.

This change gives the cmd-tests have a bit more time to finish before getting forcibly torn down. 

One difference between pebble and leveldb is that the latter returns error when performing Get on a closed database, the former does a panic. This may be triggered during shutdown (see #27237)

This PR changes the pebble driver so we check that the db is not closed already, for several operations. It also adds tests to the db test-suite, so the previously implicit assumption of "not panic:ing at ops on closed database" is covered by tests.

This changes the RPC server to ignore methods using *context.Context as parameter
and *error as return value type. Methods with such types would crash the server when
called.

This change implements returning the address as EIP-55 encoded when creating a new account.

This PR adds a staleness-check to AccountRLP, before checking the bloom-filter and potentially going directly into the disklayer.

event: initialize maps with known size

When block import fails, the error displays the number of the first block past the import batch, not the number of the failing block. This change fixes this problem by identifying which blocks fails and reporting its number.

rename parameter

In this case, the naming of "extapi" might create some confusion. Although it represents an External Signer Backend, its name could be mistaken for an API. In reality, it is a backend instance used for communicating with external signers. A better naming choice could be "extBackend" or "externalBackend" to more accurately describe that it is a backend instance rather than an API.
