core/txpool: move some validation to outside of mutex (ethereum#27006)
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history 
Currently, most of transaction validation while holding the txpool mutex: one exception being an early-on signature check. 

This PR changes that, so that we do all non-stateful checks before we entering the mutex area. This means they can be performed in parallel, and to enable that, certain fields have been made atomic bools and uint64.
