Etherlink/Kernel: Introduce block header
What
Stacked on !16996 (merged).
This MR introduces in the kernel a serializable structure called a "block header", which contains just enough information to build the successor of the block. For forward-compatibility with Tezos-compatibility and multichain, this structure is split into a generic part (block number and timestamp) and an EVM-specific part (block hash, receipts root hash, and transactions root hash).
Why
This structure will be used in the next MR (!16835 (merged)) to avoid reading the full block in stage 2.
How
Manually testing the MR
