avoid state copy in state transition (#930)
In BlockPool, we keep the head state around, so it's trivial to restore
the temporary state there and keep going as if nothing happened.

This solves 3 problems:
* stack space - the state copy on mainnet is huge
* GC scanning - using stack space for state slows down the GC
significantly
* reckless copying - the copy itself takes a long time

In state_sim, we'll do the same and allocate on heap - this helps a
little with GC - without it, the collection of the temporary strings
created with `toHex` while printing the json dominates the trace.
