Change RPC/GraphQL calls to the EVM to use shared `setupComputation`
instead of their own special variant.

There are currently six entry points to running an EVM computation, all with
slightly different parameters, and expecting slightly different EVM behaviours.
First step in merging them is a common `setupComputation` that replaces all
the different `*...SetupComputation` functions.
This uses the `TransactionHost` type because it's a step towards using that
type for all EVM calls using only EVMC. For now an EVMC message is created
then translated to EVM-internal `Message`. It is done this way to build up
the new interface in stages where all tests pass at each stage.

`TransactionHost` represents the interface to the EVM from the application once
we've fully transitioned to EVMC. It represents a managed EVM call, and the
"EVMC host" side of the host<->EVM boundary.
This holds transaction state which sits outside the EVM, but a pointer to this
is passed around by the EVM as _opaque_ type `evmc_host_context`.
To the EVM, this offers "host services", which manage account state that the
EVM cannot do, such as balance transfers, call costs, storage, logs, gas
refunds, nested calls and new contract addresses. The EVM has no direct access
to the account state database or network; it's all via "host services".
To the application (host side), this object represents a managed EVM call, with
inputs, a method to run, outputs, hidden transaction state, and later async
scheduling. It is to replace `Computation` on the application side, while
`Computation` will remain but just be for the EVM side.

This fixes a bug spotted by @mjfh that was introduced by commit 2a7ccceb:
try:
if not c.continuation.isNil:
(c.continuation)()
c.continuation = nil
c.selectVM(fork)
except CatchableError as e:
...
The call to `(c.continuation)()` was moved by 2a7ccceb inside the `try` so
that, like all the Op functions do already, if the continuation raises, the
interpreter's general catch turns the exception into a an error status result.
But if the continuation raises an exception, `continuation` is not cleared in
the next line, and at the next resumption the continuation is called again.
It may loop doing this.
This doesn't currently happen because the continuations don't really raise, but
it's still a correctness issue.
This fix also allows a continuation to spawn a second continuation, if it
encounters a second suspension point. This also doesn't happen currently,
but the pattern will become useful with async EVM.

There is no valid `CREATE_CONTRACT_ADDRESS`. Some places on the internet say
account zero means contract creation, but that's not correct.
Transactions to `ZERO_ADDRESS` are legitimate transfers to that account, not
contract creations. They are used to "burn" Eth. People also send Eth to
address zero by accident, unrecoverably, due to poor user interface issues.

Each place in `call_evm` that sets up an EVM call calculates the new contract
address for contract creations. But it's redundant, because `newComputation`
ignores the provided value and does the calculation again.
Remove the unused address calculation.
This is also a step to merging different entry points and EVMC. This change
ends up with the same value in both `msg.contractAddress` and `msg.codeAddress`
for every entry point, and this is good because it matches the EVMC message
structure, where they are replaced by only one value called `msg.destination`

`c.executeOpcodes` is called by some JSON fixture tests. These tests bypass
some of the setup and return, and because of this call, continuations aren't
processed either. Opcodes that use continuations will behave incorrectly.
The opcodes used in these particular tests don't use continuations currently,
so just add some assertions to verify this remains the case.
This is only used by local tests, and the call to `c.executeOpcodes` will be
replaced by the common entry point (that handles things like this correctly in
all cases) so we don't need to spend more time on this.

why:
previously, table data were stored with the table iterator. while
loading a table with permuted entries will always reconstruct equivalent
tables (in the sense of `==`), serialisation data are not comparable.
this patch produces always the same serialised data for equivalent
tables.
why:
source-local unit tests would hardly be triggered by github CI as rightly
criticised with the last patch.
details:
source-local unit tests have been moved to tests folder.
this version also contains rlp serialisation code so rlp encode/decode
will apply tranparently. this is not needed in p2p/validate but will be
useful with the clique protocol.
why:
to be used in Clique consensus protocol which suggests 4k cache entries.
the previous implementation used OrderTable[] which has complexity O(n)
for deleting entries.
after EIP2718/EIP2930, we have additional fields:
type AccessTuple {
address: Address!
storageKeys : [Bytes32!]
}
type Transaction {
r: BigInt!
s: BigInt!
v: BigInt!
# Envelope transaction support
type: Int
accessList: [AccessTuple!]
}
close#606
instead of using stdlib/json, now we switch to json_serialization
the result is much tidier code and more robust when parsing
optional fields.

although this is not part of EIP 1767
but the hive test cases derived from besu
test cases contains this.
we add this now to pass more test hive.graphql cases
Move the EVM setup and call in precompile tests to `fixtureCallEvm` in
`call_evm`. Extra return values needed for testing are returned specially, and
the convention for reporting gas used is changed to match `asmCallEvm`.
Although the precompile tests used `execPrecompiles` before, `executeOpcodes`
does perfectly well as a substitute, allowing `fixtureCallEvm` to be shared.
_Significantly, this patch also makes `Computation` more or less an internal
type of the EVM now._
Nothing outside the EVM (except `call_evm`) needs access any more to
`Computation`, `execComputation`, `executeOpcodes` or `execPrecompiles`.
Many imports can be trimmed, some files removed, and EVMC is much closer.
(As a bonus, the functions in `call_evm` reveal what capabilities parts of the
program have needed over time, makes certain bugs and inconsistencies clearer,
and suggests how to refactor into a more useful shared entry point.)
