Method ID caching and common-lookups

[antazoey]

Overview

Ape is pretty cool in that it caches and auto-fetches contract types which help identify transaction methods-called. However, it could be better.

Cache method IDs individually.

Benefits:

1. Works even when ape-etherscan is not installed
2. Faster - don't need to always look up a contract to know the name of the method (if the name of the method is all you need)

there are probably more benefits too

Specification

• ship with common method IDs out the gate
• add new ones to the cache
• utilize the lookups anywhere, such as in tracing when we couldnt get a contract type/name but we still have the method id bytes

Dependencies

Include links to any open issues that must be resolved before this feature can be implemented.
