Accounts: transactions with a selectable signature algorithm

New EIP: Scheme-Agile Transactions

(Giulio2002), merged: a `0x05` EIP-2718 SchemedTransaction lets EOAs pick a signature algorithm via `scheme_id`, launching with secp256k1 (same address derivation as today), P256/secp256r1 (passkeys, WebAuthn, Secure Enclave) and Falcon-512 (post-quantum, FIPS 206); fields match EIP-1559 with `v, r, s` replaced by `scheme_id` plus signature data, non secp256k1 addresses carry a scheme prefix to avoid cross scheme collisions, and post-quantum signatures, about 10x larger, pay a gas surcharge.
