feat(unit-tests): verify transition tool support

[winsvega]

🗒️ Description

Despite checks, and unit test pass, evmone t8n input is still inconsistent
geth t8n requires 0x20000 format for hex input and support decimals
evmone t8n requires 0x020000 format for hex input and does not support decimals
eest t8n supports all

first I introduce a unit test CI to verify that test filling works correctly on t8n's
TODO
design a simple test that triggers interesting t8n input on all forks. (with blockheader history and all fork fields in env) to run as a reference

Thanks @winsvega for identifying and fixing the bug. I'm not sure about the approach here for testing the t8n tool (more below), so I moved your fix to a separate PR #1268 to get that merged more quickly.

I agree that it's really important to add better testing for our t8n support/compatibility. I would suggest however, to move all these tests to our unit tests under ./src/ and improve the unit testing flow so that it can run with any t8n tool.

Then, we add jobs to the existing tox_verify.yaml that runs these unit tests with every t8n tool we support.

The issue is that it requires to build geth, evmone, ... t8ns.
I don't think unit tests are building the t8ns

[winsvega]

I update the PR so now it is a unit test. but it will require t8n binaries to be installed before the run.

This will be a nice addition for the future. Note it would have caught this issue: #1276

Some thoughts below:

1. I think we could add a new tox step in tox.ini for this (that only runs when specified locally - not by default). We will likely want to skip running these tests within pytest-framework.ini.
2. Once added to tox.ini we should add this as step to the tox_verify.yaml workflow, but only if we have a docker image churning daily for each client t8n tool. This would be to make sure CI remains fast and we don't have to wait to long for the t8n's to build. Keeping the test run on the PR level.
3. If we don't create docker images, then I think we should instead create a new workflow tox_t8n_verify.yaml that only runs the t8n tests in CI when PRs are merged to main, i.e only on main. I don't mind slow CI on main, but on PRs directly I'd like to keep it fast! Personally I prefer 2).

Pushed a fix for transaction type 4 not working in Geth's t8n.

Still failing for some reason, and I didn't have time to debug it.
