fix: add "EADDRINUSE" as code to server Error (#4045)

This PR sets the code property related to the error "listen EADDRINUSE: address already in use { address }" to "EADDRINUSE", making detecting this kind of "address in use" error programmatically much easier and straightforward. This property existed in Ganache v6 and earlier and was removed in v7.0.0 in error.

Previously:

{
  "message": "listen EADDRINUSE: address already in use 127.0.0.1:5001"
}

Now:

{
  "code": "EADDRINUSE",
  "message": "listen EADDRINUSE: address already in use 127.0.0.1:5001"
}

Fixes #4020

fix: store transactions with the correct effectiveGasPrice (#4112)

Previously we were returning the wrong gasPrice when a transaction was fetched via eth_getTransactionByHash. This was happening because when we saved the transaction to the chain, we didn't update the transaction's effectiveGasPrice field based off of the baseFeePerGas of the block that the transaction was mined onto in some cases.

However, the effectiveGasPrice returned on a receipt was correct because when the receipt was fetched, we would calculate the effectiveGasPrice on the fly just to correct what we return to the user, rather than directly using what the database returned.

This change removes the on-the-fly calculation of the effectiveGasPrice on the receipt, and presets the transaction's effectiveGasPrice based off of the next block's baseFeePerGas when the transaction is added to the pool. As block's are mined, the miner updates all pending transaction's effectiveGasPrice based off of the next block's baseFeePerGas.

Fixes #4094.

fix: evm_revert fails in some cases (#4136)

Resolves an issue where evm_revert would fail with error .for is not iterable. This happened when a user would attempt to revert a change that deletes a key that exists in an upstream network.

fixes: #4093

ci: update docker release action (#4030)

Some of the GitHub Actions commands used by our Docker Publish Action are deprecated. This PR updates the Actions to versions that have since been updated to stop using these deprecated commands.

docs: expand on troubleshooting node-gyp errors (#4013)

This PR adds a note in our CONTRIBUTING.MD document that instructs contributors to ensure they do not use npm as the root user.

ci: drop macos-11, add macos-12 (#3407)

Just updating CI to run the newer macos-12 runner instead of macos-11.

ci: update setup-python action to v4.4.0 (#4072)

The GitHub Actions runner was warning about deprecated API use by the setup-python package, so this PR updates it to the latest tagged version.

ci: drop ubuntu-18.04, add ubuntu-22.04 (#3405)

Updating CI, including the "Release" action, to use Ubuntu 22.04, while also dropping support for ubuntu-18.04.
