Meta: Alloy migration

[Evalir]

Tracking issue for the Alloy Migration.

Migration progress per-crate:

• debugger feat(debugger): migrate debugger crate to alloy #5854
• fmt feat(formatter): migrate formatter crate to Alloy #5851
• cli
• common
• config partially migrated
• cast
  • primitive types migrated
  • signer/provider types migrated
• macros
• abi
• evm
  • Cheatcodes migrated
  • ABI-related types migrated
  • primitive types migrated (#1) Alloy Migration: first batch (type conversions) #5768
• anvil-core
  • meta(anvil): anvil-core internal types removal #6715
• anvil
  • txpool/executor logic migrated to alloy
  • RPC types migrated
  • primitive types migrated (partially migrated so far) (#1) Alloy Migration: first batch (type conversions) #5768
  • RLP related types migrated
  • Tests migrated to alloy
• utils
  • primitive types migrated
• forge
  • primitive types migrated feat(forge): partial forge migration #5873
  • forge-script migrated
• `test-utils migrated feat(test-utils: partially migrate test-utils crate #5874
• chisel

provider/rpc types migration progress per-crate (only ones with usage of these are mentioned):

• debugger
• fmt
• cli
• common
• config
• cast
• abi
• evm
• anvil
• forge

done with #6219

Reth-related milestones

• Yank reth revm inspectors into their own repo to remove a dependency on reth: reth-revm-inspectors: Move inspectors out of reth and into their own repo paradigmxyz/reth#5956

soft/hard Blockers

• Log alloy-primitives implementation, needed for a complete anvil & evm migration. feat: add logs, add log dynamic decoding alloy-rs/core#271 (Soft blocker)
• ethers-solc needs to move to its own standalone repo. (Soft blocker for now)
• ethers-etherscan and other verification/etherscan related utilities need to either move to their own repo or integrate into an existing one. (Soft blocker)

Followups

• Remove and dedupe ethers-rs vendored code #6104
• Remove precompiles! macro #6102
• Improvement: Migrate Executor to SolCall and define calls ahead of time #6098
• Remove ethers-core dependency block-explorers#8

I am interested in the migration for forge bind . Would be curious to learn more about what all is needed for it.

Forge bind will be deprecated and removed once this migration is done. Bindings generation is no longer needed or possible with the abigen! replacement, sol!, as you can either maintain a Solidity interface or a JSON ABI in tree and point the macro to that directly.

forge bind now supports --alloy

Marking as complete as Foundry has fully migrated to Alloy 💯

Leftover code that aided in the transition, like #7048, will be cleaned up in standalone tickets or whenever we encounter it.
