* Attempt to roll back stateless mode implementation in a single PR
why:
+ Stateless mode is not fully working and in the way
+ Single PR should make it feasible to investigate for a possible
re-implementation
* Fix copyright year
* Fix annotation for exception (evmc mode)
simplify EVM and delegete those things to accounts cache.
also no more manual state clearing, accounts cache will be
responsible for both collecting touched account and perform
state clearing.
* Gwei conversion should use u256 because u64 can overflow.
* Make withdrawals follow the EIP-158 state-clearing rules.
(i.e. Empty accounts should be deleted.)
* Allow the zero address in normalizeNumber.
(Necessary for one of the new withdrawals-related tests.)
* Another fix with a withdrawals-related test.

* Redesign of BaseVMState descriptor
why:
BaseVMState provides an environment for executing transactions. The
current descriptor also provides data that cannot generally be known
within the execution environment, e.g. the total gasUsed which is
available not before after all transactions have finished.
Also, the BaseVMState constructor has been replaced by a constructor
that does not need pre-initialised input of the account database.
also:
Previous constructor and some fields are provided with a deprecated
annotation (producing a lot of noise.)
* Replace legacy directives in production sources
* Replace legacy directives in unit test sources
* fix CI (missing premix update)
* Remove legacy directives
* chase CI problem
* rebased
* Re-introduce 'AccountsCache' constructor optimisation for 'BaseVmState' re-initialisation
why:
Constructing a new 'AccountsCache' descriptor can be avoided sometimes
when the current state root is properly positioned already. Such a
feature existed already as the update function 'initStateDB()' for the
'BaseChanDB' where the accounts cache was linked into this desctiptor.
The function 'initStateDB()' was removed and re-implemented into the
'BaseVmState' constructor without optimisation. The old version was of
restricted use as a wrong accounts cache state would unconditionally
throw an exception rather than conceptually ask for a remedy.
The optimised 'BaseVmState' re-initialisation has been implemented for
the 'persistBlocks()' function.
also:
moved some test helpers to 'test/replay' folder
* Remove unused & undocumented fields from Chain descriptor
why:
Reduces attack surface in general & improves reading the code.
Transaction and BlockHeader already updated in nim-eth repo
to support EIP-1559
EIP-1559 header validation and gasLimit validation
already implemented in previous commit
This commit deals with block validation:
- Effective gasPrice per EIP-1559
- new miner reward based on priorityFee
also:
re-integrated stack_defs.nim back into stack.nim
why:
the v2 prefix of the file name was used as a visual aid when
comparing vm2 against vm sources
why:
the v2 prefix of the file name was used as a visual aid when
comparing vm2 against vm sources
details:
all renamed v2*.nim sources compile locally with the -d:kludge:1 flag
set or without (some work with either)
only sources not renamed yet: v2state_transactions.nim
why:
these files provide part of the externally accessible interface
provided by vm_state*.nim. so the new filename indicates that the
source code belongs to vm2 (rather than vm).
why:
vm2 enabled by ENABLE_VM2=1 behaves as vm without ENABLE_EVMC=1 until
it doesn't in some future fatch set. this leaves some wiggle room
to work on a vm copy without degrading the original implementation.
details:
+ additional make flag ENABLE_VM2=1 (or ENABLE_VM2=0 to explicitely disable)
+ when both flags ENABLE_EVMC=1 and ENABLE_VM2=1 are present, the former
flag ENABLE_EVMC=1 takes precedence, this is implemented at the NIM
compiler level for -d:evmc_enabled and -d:vm2_enabled
why:
the nvm_ prefix was used inside the vm folder to hide them temporarily
from the outside world while writing export wrappers. now all
functionality is accessed via vm_*, rather than vm/* imports.
todo:
at a later stage the import headers of the vm modules need to get fixed
to meet style guide standards (as jacek kindly pointed out.)
