EVM: proxy calls rollup node simulation for eth_call
Context
Contributes to #5688 (closed)
We have a simulation mode in the kernel, and we can send messages to be simulated on to the rollup node. This is the proxy part:
The proxy receives a eth_call request, translates it in a set of messages for the kernel, and calls the simulation, then returns the result of the simulation to the initial caller.
This entails:
- encoding a simulation input in RLP form
- chunk it if necessary
- send messages to rollup node
- parse the result
- forward the result
Commits try to be more or less self contained and to introduce the code in +- logical steps.
Limit of current implementation: the kernel is not able to execute if no gas is given, even in simulation mode. A minimal value is added by the proxynode if none is given in the original eth_call input. cf #5863 (closed) and !9108 (merged)
