fix witness generation

[jsign]

The current stateless crate is quite broken for witness generation:

• There was a change in Reth that doesn't allow tests to run with production-db configs, which aren't suitable for worst-case blocks in benchmarks. I did a PR in Reth but still is unmerged ef-tests: use production db setup to support heavy benchmark cases paradigmxyz/stateless#11
• There are other things prob related to other changes in Reth that are also a problem, related to the reth_task runtime setup in tests.

This is a blocking problem to allow generating execution witness in this repo, and can't leave this broken until this gets fixed in Reth (if ever). Had no other option to fork it and use the fixes directly, so at least we aren't blocked by this.

I think the ideal thing would be that evmone-t8n can allow generating the executionWitness in execution-specs, so we can fill the benchmarks directly with that (plus being spec compliant) and completely remove the need of requiring an EL in here to generate the execution witness.

I think we can live with this Reth fork a bit... but looks the ideal solution isevmone-t8n, or eventually if things get completely broken with Reth and emvone isn't ready we might need to try doing the same approach but with Ethrex.

This causes some probs with ere-guest stateless crate version -- I'll have to look more into it to make this mergeable.

Maybe we can create an issue in execution specs in the future to specify the ask re evmone supporting eexecution witness

Sounds good. I'll create the issue in some mins.

Updating ere-guest to latest stateless unblocks this PR. Whenever that PR is merged, I'll update here and should be good to go.
