Migrate to vm v7

[blitz-1306]

Preface

This is a PoC pull request to use https://github.com/ethereumjs/ethereumjs-monorepo/releases/tag/%40ethereumjs%2Fvm%407.0.0 and other relevant dependencies. List of VM changes can be found here.

Changes

• Update dependencies.
• All Buffer types changed to Uint8Array due to upstream changes.
  • Most of Buffer.from() are replaced with toBytes() or hexToBytes(). This is not necessarily correct, due to these functions require 0x prefix at the beginning of the input string.
  • Most of Buffer.toString("hex") are replaced with custom Uint8Array-to-hex conversion functions. This is not necessarily correct, due to these function adds 0x prefix at the beginning of the result string. This may cause issues.
  • Bytes equality is now done with equalsBytes() instead of Buffer.equals().
• VM removed EEI from the package. Its functionality is now provided by StateManager. So there are related adjustments to respect this change.
• Transaction data is now passed with TypedTransaction type.
• RLP is now released as a standalone dependency and therefore used in such way.

Concerns

• Codebase is still not runnable due to VM package moved to cjs / esm builds, and I wasn't able to configure TS and Jest to work with it properly.

  Cannot find module '@ethereumjs/evm/dist/cjs/opcodes' from 'src/debug/sol_debugger.ts'
  

• As mentioned above, there are several cases, when code should be debugged (regading 0x prefix of bytes-to-hex conversion).
• Other VM-dependent packages didnt moved to v7 just yet, so maybe we should wait until they finish their migration first.
