EVM Node: Add --replicate to run sandbox

This argument can be used to have a sandbox endpoint shadowing an existing chain locally. This can be useful for a number of use cases, notably interacting with the chain in a sandbox environment that reflects changes happening on the network in real time, or evaluating the impact of a (future) kernel on realistic traffic (using --kernel).

This was already useful to assert that D indeed address the gas price spikes we are seeing on Mainnet.

Manually testing the MR

octez-evm-node run sandbox --data-dir sandbox --init-from-snapshot --network mainnet --kernel /path/to/evm_kernel.wasm --replicate

This will start a Mainnet sandbox with the latest kernel, applying blueprints from the official relay. I was able to compare the gas price on various blocks and witness the gas price does not change with D 🎉
