chore(perf): optimize eth_feeHistory

[LesnyRumcajs]

Summary of changes

Changes introduced in this pull request:

• avoid grabbing event logs for fee history (it's not needed - we only need receipts)
• avoid wasteful load_child_tipset - the maximum block walk we allow for this method is 1024, so there would be 1023 completely wasteful blocking tasks just to get message receipt, which we already have, given we walk from newest to oldest.
• this nicely improves the methods questionable performance (especially around P99 - ~500 ms), while doing less work. A naive alternative was to parallelize the entire walk, but it'd just increase resource usage and possibly exhaust blocking task pool.

We might be doing similar silly thing elsewhere. To be investigated.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Performance

  • Improved fee history retrieval by using stored message receipts more efficiently.
  • Reduced unnecessary processing when calculating gas reward data.

• Reliability

  • Added fallback handling when receipt data is unavailable.
  • Added validation to ensure messages and receipts remain correctly ordered and matched.

Walkthrough

eth_feeHistory now uses StateManager to retrieve ordered message and receipt pairs. Receipt lookup supports executed messages, stored receipts, and RPC fallback. The fee history traversal carries receipt roots between tipsets and builds gas rewards from the returned pairs.

Changes

Receipt lookup and fee history

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Message/receipt representation and test receipts src/state_manager/mod.rs, src/shim/executor.rs, src/state_manager/state_computation.rs	TipsetMessageReceipts represents executed or stored message/receipt pairs. Its iterator preserves index order. Test receipts can specify gas usage. Tests cover both representations.
Receipt resolution src/state_manager/state_computation.rs	StateManager::tipset_message_receipts selects cached messages, stored receipts, or RPC execution. It resolves receipt roots and validates message and receipt counts.
Fee history receipt traversal src/rpc/methods/eth.rs	eth_feeHistory uses the new receipt lookup method, carries parent_message_receipts roots across tipsets, and derives gas rewards from message/receipt pairs.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to 8ddcc

The optimization can misassociate transaction receipts when the receipt data has gaps or shifted indices, causing incorrect fee-history reward calculations. Merge should wait until receipt positions are validated and mismatches are rejected.

In `@src/state_manager/state_computation.rs`:
- Around line 98-108: Update the receipt-loading flow in the state computation
method around Receipt::get_receipts so it preserves each receipt’s AMT index and
validates that indices match message positions starting at zero. Reject any
hole, nonzero first index, or other positional mismatch before constructing
TipsetMessageReceipts::Stored; retain the existing count validation and error
propagation.
- Around line 92-114: Update the receipt-loading flow around
Receipt::get_receipts and TipsetMessageReceipts::Stored to preserve AMT receipt
indices and validate that they are present and aligned with message positions,
rejecting missing or shifted indices before pairing. Add contextual errors to
load_child_tipset, messages_for_tipset, and load_executed_tipset_for_rpc,
including ts.key() and the receipt root whenever available.

I think we can add more test directly testing the tipset_message_receipts using the chain4u! macro.
