EIP-4844 adds a new transaction type for blobs. Users can submit such transactions via `eth_sendRawTransaction`. In this PR we refrain from adding support to `eth_sendTransaction` and in fact it will fail if the user passes in a blob hash.
However since the chain can handle such transactions it makes sense to allow simulating them. E.g. an L2 operator should be able to simulate submitting a rollup blob and updating the L2 state. Most methods that take in a transaction object should recognize blobs. The change boils down to adding `blobVersionedHashes` and `maxFeePerBlobGas` to `TransactionArgs`. In summary:
- `eth_sendTransaction`: will fail for blob txes
- `eth_signTransaction`: will fail for blob txes
The methods that sign txes does not, as of this PR, add support the for new EIP-4844 transaction types. Resuming the summary:
- `eth_sendRawTransaction`: can send blob txes
- `eth_fillTransaction`: will fill in a blob tx. Note: here we simply fill in normal transaction fields + possibly `maxFeePerBlobGas` when blobs are present. One can imagine a more elaborate set-up where users can submit blobs themselves and we fill in proofs and commitments and such. Left for future PRs if desired.
- `eth_call`: can simulate blob messages
- `eth_estimateGas`: blobs have no effect here. They have a separate unit of gas which is not tunable in the transaction.
In the tracing tests, the base fee was generally set to nil. This commit changes this to pass the proper base instead, and fixes the few tests which become broken by the change.
Given the discussions around deprecating pending (see #28623 or ethereum/execution-apis#495), we can move away from using the pending block internally, and use latest instead

This is a rewrite of the 'simulated backend', an implementation of the ethclient interfaces
which is backed by a simulated blockchain. It was getting annoying to maintain the old
version of the simulated backend feature because there was a lot of code duplication with
the main client.
The new version is built using parts that we already have: an in-memory geth node instance
running in developer mode provides the chain, while the Go API is provided by ethclient.
A backwards-compatibility wrapper is provided, but the simulated backend has also moved to
a more sensible import path: github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum/ethclient/simulated

When managing geth, it is sometimes desirable to do a partial wipe; deleting state but retaining freezer data. A partial wipe can be somewhat tricky to accomplish.
This change implements the ability to perform partial wipe by making it possible to run geth removedb non-interactive, using command line options instead.
This pull request improves the condition to check if path state scheme is in use.
Originally, root node presence was used as the indicator if path scheme is used or not. However due to fact that root node will be deleted during the initial snap sync, this condition is no longer useful.
If PersistentStateID is present, it shows that we've already configured for path scheme.
Original problem was caused by #28595, where we made it so that as soon as we start to sync, the root of the disk layer is deleted. That is not wrong per se, but another part of the code uses the "presence of the root" as an init-check for the pathdb. And, since the init-check now failed, the code tried to re-initialize it which failed since a sync was already ongoing.
The total impact being: after a state-sync has begun, if the node for some reason is is shut down, it will refuse to start up again, with the error message: `Fatal: Failed to register the Ethereum service: waiting for sync.`.
This change also modifies how `geth removedb` works, so that the user is prompted for two things: `state data` and `ancient chain`. The former includes both the chaindb aswell as any state history stored in ancients.

Here we update the eth and snap protocol test suites with a new test chain,
created by the hivechain tool. The new test chain uses proof-of-stake. As such,
tests using PoW block propagation in the eth protocol are removed. The test suite
now connects to the node under test using the engine API in order to make it
accept transactions.
The snap protocol test suite has been rewritten to output test descriptions and
log requests more verbosely.

This is primarily to make lint work again on macOS 14. The older version of golangci-lint kept crashing.
Also included is a fix for a goroutine leak in the recently-introduced function MustRunCommandWithOutput.
