Adopt alloy types for transaction types
While working on https://github.com/NomicFoundation/edr/issues/786, I investigated using alloy-rs's TxEip7702 type, but wasn't able to use those types side-by-side with our existing transaction types.
TxEip7702 would be equivalent to our transaction::request::Eip7702. To obtain a signed transaction, alloy uses Signed<TxEip7702>, which adds pre-computation of a tranaction_hash, RLP encoding/decoding, etc.
One aspect of EDR that wasn't easily transferred to types from alloy was the ability to have a "fakeable signature" which we support.
Definition of Done Investigate and refactor transaction types to reuse alloy types and tests
@Wodann does this issue point to refactoring all the existing transaction types and not only Eip7702?
The path forward is unclear. An investigation should be done as to whether we can upgrade to alloy types within our architecture, without losing support for fakeable signatures. Only after that will the refactor happen.
