Transaction: New object TransactionHost for "EVMC host services" ...

`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.
