Patch: Compress transaction history (#26236)

## **Description**

Compress transaction history down to 100 entries and truncate any
existing transaction historys to just 100 entries. This should fix
reports we've seen from production of extremely poor performance and
crashes caused by long transaction histories, and will also prevent this
problem from happening again.

Transaction history has been truncated because in the extreme cases, it
would be prohibitively expensive to compress. The downside is that some
state of how the transaction has changed may be lost. But this is
unlikely to impact users because we only show a limited number of events
from the transaction history in our UI, and these events are more likely
to be at the beginning of long transaction histories. Even if a
displayed event is lost, the impact on the UI is minimal (it's only
shown on the transaction details page under "Activity log", and only for
informational purposes).

For details on how the transaction compression works, and how it
prevents history size from growing unbouned, see
MetaMask/core#4555

The transaction controller change has been applied using a patch. The
patch was generated from the core repository branch
`patch/transaction-controller-v32-compress-history`. It will be made on
`develop` at a later date because it is blocked by other controller
updates at the moment.

The truncation is performed by a migration that was added in #26291 and
cherry-picked into this branch

## **Related issues**

Relates to #9372

## **Manual testing steps**

To test the migration:
* Checkout v11.15.6 and create a dev build (unfortunately the repro
steps don't work on MV3 due to snow being enabled even in dev builds, so
we're using a pre-MV3 build)
* Install the dev build from the `dist/chrome` directory and proceed
through onboarding
* Make a single transaction
* Any chain, any transaction, as long as it's approved. We don't even
need to wait for it to settle.
* Run this command in the background console to add a huge history to
the transaction controller and restart the extension:
  ```
  chrome.storage.local.get(
    null,
    (state) => {
      state.data.TransactionController.transactions[0].history.push(
        ...[...Array(100000).keys()].map(() => [
          {
value: '[ethjs-rpc] rpc error with payload
{"id":[number],"jsonrpc":"2.0","params":["0x"],"method":"eth_getTransactionReceipt"}
{ "code": -32603, "message": "Internal JSON-RPC error.", "data": {
"code": -32602, "message": "invalid argument 0: hex string has length 0,
want 64 for common.Hash", "cause": null }, "stack": ...',
            path: '/warning/error',
            op: 'replace'
          },
          {
            note: 'transactions/pending-tx-tracker#event: tx:warning',
            value: 'There was a problem loading this transaction.',
            path: '/warning/message',
            op: 'replace'
          },
        ]),
      );
      chrome.storage.local.set(state, () => chrome.runtime.reload());
    }
  );
  ```
  * The extension should become extremely slow
* Disable the extension
* Switch to this branch and create a dev build
* Enable and reload the extension
  * The extension should no longer be slow

To test that the compression is working, we would want to get a
transaction in a "stuck pending" state where an error is captured each
iteration. I am not yet sure how to do that unfortunately.
