* Reduce Nim 1.6 compiler warnings/hints for Fluffy and Nimbus proxy
Mostly raises Defect removals, TaintedString removal and some
unnecessary imports.
Also updating the copyright years alongside.
* Further reduce Nim 1.6 compiler warnings/hints for Nimbus
* 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Also, the BaseVMState constructor has been replaced by a constructor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.
details:
1. The check for cumulativeGasUsed + tx.gasLimit <= header.gasLimit
makes neither sense nor is it part of the Eip1559 specs. Nevertheless
a check tx.gasLimit <= header.gasLimit is added to satisfy some
unit test (see comments in validateTransaction() body.)
2. As a replacement check for the one removed in 1, a check for
cumulativeGasUsed + gasBurned <= header.gasLimit has been added
(see comments in processTransactionImpl() body.)
3. Prototypes for processTransaction() variants have been cleaned up and
commented.
why:
Detail 1. in particular produces an error for tightly packed blocks when
the last tx in the list has a generous gasLimit.
previously, every time the VMState was created, it will also create
new stateDB, and this action will nullify the advantages of cached accounts.
the new changes will conserve the accounts cache if the executed blocks
are contiguous. if not the stateDB need to be reinited.
this changes also allow rpcCallEvm and rpcEstimateGas executed properly
using current stateDB instead of creating new one each time they are called.
The common forks list was already used, redirected via `vm_forks` for
historical compatibility. Remove the old `vm_forks` now and divert all imports
to the common forks list outside the EVM.

The rationale in EIP-6[1] for changing names to `selfDestruct` applies to code
as much as it does to specs. Also, Ethereum uses the new names consistently,
so it's useful for our code to match the terms used in later EIP specs and
testsuite entries.
This change is straightforward, and is a prerequisite for patches to come that
do things with the `selfDestruct` fields.

usually, there is always a sender around `getRecipient` call.
no need to recalculate sender. and more important, in some of
JSON-RPC/GraphQL call, the sender is come from `rpcCallData`,
not from `tx.getSender`. or in ohter situation when the tx is
an unsigned tx, without `r,s,v` fields to calculate sender.
disableParamFiltering() is called in test_all, so its ok when
called via test_all. but when test_generalstate_json or
test_blockchain_json is called independently, and we are using
command line switch, the default param handler from std/unittest
will interfere. hence need to disable it.
