feat: add the ability to use console.log from Solidity

[davidmurdoch]

Ganache now supports console.log in Solidity!

More details and how-tos will be written up in Truffle's upcoming console.log release. So stay tuned for that!

I still need to figure out if I need to warm the console.sol precompile address (à la https://github.com/ethereumjs/ethereumjs-monorepo/blob/cfd7b7754490b072a035cceaba59c3dfb517effd/packages/vm/src/runTx.ts#L176) for post-berlin blocks and if we really need to add this account to the state tree on start up (this is what is causing the new test case failures, as "activating" it causes the initial state to change) We do not; adding precompile accounts on startup is a gas optimization for the CALL opcode, console.sol uses the STATICCALL opcode so the gas optimization doesn't apply.

Important note: contracts that use this console.sol implementation won't entirely work in Remix and Hardhat Network until ethereum/remix-project#2589 and NomicFoundation/hardhat#2666 are fixed.

Still working through a full review but here's a start.

I do not envy whoever has to debug these tests at some point 😅 Suuuuper cool stuff though!
