Description
We are adding the ability to fork any EVM blockchain (using foundry's anvil). This can be used for doing things like validating transactions.
Additional context
This PR simply provides a generic way to fork an EVM blockchain by passing in a url and blockchain id.
We have the anvil binary embedded and we take the binary bytes from that and create an executable file and run that.
Then, the user can provide a callback function that takes a client handle to the forked blockchain, which allows the user to submit transactions and make calls to the forked blockchain.
This can be used to validate transactions for example before broadcasting to the main blockchain.
