Algod: Add experimental endpoint for simulating transactions against a real block evaluator#4436
Conversation
Dynamic budget checks in the evaluator complicate the gatekeeping. This functionality will be easier to add in the future after the `DebuggerHook` interface has been extended.
This test confirms an error spotted by @jannotti where `errors.As(…)` was always true. #4322 (comment)

This is just a placeholder for the actual information that will eventually be returned. It's intentionally minimal for the time being, and unless there's a serious concern, I'd rather leave this as is and focus on enriching this response in later PRs

I agree, we need some sort of "envelope" to contain the transaction(s) and metadata. I find myself wanting this in the protocol itself often as well.

Summary
This PR adds an initial implementation of the simulate endpoint.
This early implementation should be mostly functional, but its results are intentionally narrow for the time being. Following PRs will expand on the work here to add more useful information to the results.
The new endpoint can be used by sending a POST request to
/v2/transactions/simulate. This endpoint is tagged as experimental, which means it will not be enabled by unless theEnableExperimentalAPInode config flag is set to true.Test Plan
New tests added.
