Etherlink: Implement txpool content rpc
Context
Part of #7109.
This MR implements the txpool_content RPC that returns the content of the transaction pool https://geth.ethereum.org/docs/interacting-with-geth/rpc/ns-txpool.
Prior to this MR, the txpool_content RPC was only a mockup which always returns an empty transaction pool. The RPC becomes more important due to recent effort to strength the transaction pool. As it enables us to examine the state of the pool which now has more complex logic.
Manually testing the MR
Run the tezt tests.
Switch for this RPC endpoint
It might be necessary to introduce a switch that enables turning on/off this RPC endpoint. There are 2 reasons why we may want it.
- The RPC is very expensive
- In Ethereum this RPC is not widely used except for doing MEV
I'd really like to hear some thought on this
