Integrate JSON-RPC API specification changes from Geth releases

[m-Peter]

Release changes to be double-checked/implemented:

v1.14.8:

• Check that eth_call storage replacement clears out all previous storage values, tracked by Investigate state overrides correctness on eth_call #793

v1.14.9:

• Support for eth_simulateV1, tracked by Investigate & implement eth_simulateV1 JSON-RPC call #792
• Check functionality of https://eips.ethereum.org/EIPS/eip-2935

v1.14.11:

• Remove totalDifficulty field from RPC, in accordance with Removed totalDifficulty from Blockschema ethereum/execution-apis#570

v1.14.12:

• invoke OnCodeChange-hook on selfdestruct (core/state: invoke OnCodeChange-hook on selfdestruct ethereum/go-ethereum#30686, feat(eth/tracers): convert OOG wrapped error to Out Of Gas parity error ethereum/go-ethereum#30497)
• improvements to flatCallTracer (eth/tracers: fill the creationMethod in flatCall ethereum/go-ethereum#30539)
• invoke tx-end hook in runtime helpers (core/vm/runtime: invoke tx-end hook ethereum/go-ethereum#30711)
• disableCode and disableStorage options for prestateTracer (eth/tracers: add disableCode/Storage options for prestateTracer ethereum/go-ethereum#30648)
• tracing of system calls (core: fix tracing of pre-block processors ethereum/go-ethereum#30666)
• Change to how chainconfig is passed to tracers (breaking change) (eth/tracers: various fixes ethereum/go-ethereum#30540)
• add GetTransientState method to StateDB interface (core/tracing: add GetTransientState method to StateDB interface for accessing transient state data ethereum/go-ethereum#30531)

v1.15.0:

• RPC method eth_estimateGas now supports block overrides like eth_call, tracked by Update eth_estimateGas JSON-RPC endpoint to support block overrides #791
• RPC method eth_simulateV1 now advances the timestamp by 12 seconds per block
• The struct logger reports the EVM revert reason correctly again. (eth/tracers/logger: return revert reason ethereum/go-ethereum#31013)

v1.15.3:

• The eth_simulateV1 RPC method was improved to match regular block processing semantics. (internal/ethapi: process prague system calls in eth_simulate ethereum/go-ethereum#31176, internal/ethapi: fix prev hashes in eth_simulate ethereum/go-ethereum#31122)

v1.15.5:

• In output of debug_traceTransaction, the "memory" and "storage" fields will be omitted if empty. (eth/tracers: fix omitempty for memory, stack and storage ethereum/go-ethereum#31289)

v1.15.6:

• A regression in eth_sendRawTransaction - where transactions with too-low nonce would be accepted by the API - has been fixed. (core/txpool: reject stale transaction for local tracking ethereum/go-ethereum#31473)
• eth_call/estimateGas RPC methods will now always return error code 3 for reverts. It previously only returned this code when the EVM produced revert data. (internal/ethapi: return code 3 from call/estimateGas even if a revert reason was not returned ethereum/go-ethereum#31456)
• eth_simulateV1 now returns a correct logs bloom value in the simulated block (internal/ethapi: fix logs bloom in eth_simulateV1 ethereum/go-ethereum#31411)
• eth_simulateV1 supports block overrides for the beacon root and withdrawals (internal/ethapi: support for beacon root and withdrawals in simulate api ethereum/go-ethereum#31304)
• debug_traceCall: the movePrecompileTo override feature should now work correctly (eth: Fix movePrecompileToAddress ignored on debug_traceCall ethereum/go-ethereum#31348)
• debug_traceCall and other related RPC methods now hex-encode the EVM return value. This is a breaking change. (eth/tracers: hex-encode returnValue ethereum/go-ethereum#31216, eth/tracers: fix test ethereum/go-ethereum#31445)

v1.15.9:

• Check all EIPs introduced in the Prague hard-fork

v1.15.11:

• A stall condition in eth_getTransactionByHash is resolved. (core: reduce load on txindexer from API ethereum/go-ethereum#31752)
• eth_simulateV1 now correctly returns the transaction sender (from). (internal/ethapi: fix tx.from in eth_simulateV1 ethereum/go-ethereum#31480)
• A corner-case in eth_estimateGas related to floorDataGas is resolved. (core, eth/gasestimator: introduce MaximumGasUsed for estimation ethereum/go-ethereum#31735)

v1.16.0:

• Logs returned by eth_getLogs and similar requests will now return the blockTimestamp. (eth/filters: add timestamp to derived logs ethereum/go-ethereum#31887)
• eth_getBlockReceipts will now return null instead of an error for blocks which are not found. (eth: return null for not-found in BlockByNumberOrHash ethereum/go-ethereum#31949)
• The prestate tracer has seen some tweaks related to empty accounts. (eth/tracers: flag for empty acounts in prestateTracer ethereum/go-ethereum#31855, tracers/prestate: always remove empty accounts from pre-state ethereum/go-ethereum#31427)
• Geth now provides a built-in tracer for ERC-7562. (eth/tracers/native: add erc7562 tracer ethereum/go-ethereum#31006)

v1.16.1:

• The blockTimestamp as returned by eth_getLogs is now hex-encoded. (core/types: block timestamp in log should encode as hex ethereum/go-ethereum#32129)
• eth_getLogs and related endpoints now limit the number of queried addresses to 1000. (eth/filters: add address limit to filters ethereum/go-ethereum#31876)
• eth_getTransactionReceipt should be a bit faster. (ethapi: reduce some of the wasted effort in GetTransactionReceipt ethereum/go-ethereum#32021)
