Difficulty calculation

This test shows how the evm t8n can be used to calculate the (ethash) difficulty, if none is provided by the caller.

Calculating it (with an empty set of txs) using London rules (and no provided unclehash for the parent block):

}

Same thing, but this time providing a non-empty (and non-emptyKeccak) unclehash, which leads to a slightly different result:
