* core/state/snapshot: fix data race in layer flattening

* core/state/snapshot: fix typo

This is the initial step for support of Solidity errors in contract bindings.
As of this change, errors can be decoded, but are not supported in
bindings yet.

Closes #23157

This fixes a bug where gas-related fields of the TransactOpts passed
to transaction methods would be modified, skipping gas estimation for
subsequent transactions.

This doesn't fix all go-critic warnings, just the most serious ones.

This update adds support for some more ES6 functionality, notably
arrow functions.

* eth,rpc: allow for flag configured timeouts for eth_call

* lint: account for package-local import order

* cr: rename `rpc.calltimeout` to `rpc.evmtimeout`

This removes some code:

- The clique engine calculated the snapshot twice when verifying headers/blocks.

- The method GetBlockHashesFromHash in Header/Block/Lightchain was only used by tests. It
  is now removed from the API.
  
- The method GetTdByHash internally looked up the number before calling GetTd(hash, num).
  In many cases, callers already had the number, and used this method just because it has a
  shorter name. I have removed the method to make the API surface smaller.

* Update tests to showcase that forked blocks can still be looked up by their hash

* les/vflux/server: fix metrics

* les/vflux/server: fix metrics

* params: changed CatalystBlock to TerminalTotalDifficulty

* eth/catalyst: comment out unused code

* build: increase thread stack size when running alpine linux

* review feedback: force a stack size of 8M on all linux distribs

* fix missing extldflags

* cmd/evm: t9n: validate transaction intrinsic gas

* cmd/evm: t9n: stricter tx validation

This prevents the console from crashing when auto-completing on
a variable or property that is null or undefined.

Fixes #23693

node.Node no longer registers any account manager backends by default,
they need to be registered explicitly.

For ethash-based tests, we actually don't need any accounts in the miner
keystore. Just set the etherbase instead to make mining work. For
clique, the signer account must be in the keystore.

The change also adds interrupt handling in stress tests.

This fixes a data race on worker.current by moving the call to StopPrefetcher
into the main loop.

The commit also contains fixes for two other races in unit tests of unrelated packages.

This ensures that all miner goroutines have exited before stopping the blockchain.

Go 1.17.2 fixes some miscompilation issues on amd64 and a runtime issue with timers.
While the upgrade is not strictly necessary for go-ethereum right now, it is still good
to be up-to-date.

Fixes #23681

After the fix I get the address 0x6d6d02e83c4ced98204e20126acf27e9d87b8af2 for the
tx mentioned in the ticket, which agrees with etherscan.

This change removes misuses of sync.WaitGroup in BlockChain. Before this change,
block insertion modified the WaitGroup counter in order to ensure that Stop would wait
for pending operations to complete. This was racy and could even lead to crashes
if Stop was called at an unfortunate time. The issue is resolved by adding a specialized
'closable' mutex, which prevents chain modifications after stopping while also
synchronizing writers with each other.

This resolves a long-standing TODO. The point of copying the address is
to ensure that all data referenced by types.Transaction is independent of the
data passed into the constructor.

This update includes fixes for the *BSD build and go module vendoring.

This PR adds a method to the debug namespace, to iterate over the blocks and check where we have the roots on disk.

The test did not synchronize with per-case goroutines, and thus didn't notice
that some tests were just hanging. This change adds missing synchronization
and fixes the broken tests.
