EVM Node: Proper blueprints streaming from RPC nodes
In order to do that, we need for the RPC mode to follow the head of the running
read-write node. In order to do that, we extract from the Observer module the
logic of following the head of a remote EVM node. We use this now generic logic
to keep up to date a “minimal” head information type, only consisting in the
next blueprint number.
Besides, we make the Evm_services module independant from Evm_context with
dependency injection: that is, the function that are used to interact with the
context are now passed as argument of Evm_context.register. This way, the RPC
mode can rely on ad-hoc function which do not require starting the
Evm_context worker.
