remove null signatures (#11335)

* tx: clean up legacy eip-86 based null signature

* tx: add a test for null signature rejection

* tx: revert json txn changes

* fix evmbin bench build

* tx: put UNSIGNED_SENDER behind 'test-helpers' feature

* Revert "tx: put UNSIGNED_SENDER behind 'test-helpers' feature"

This reverts commit 1dde47831e4dc5098d064e6022ead43512c31efb.

* tx: add comment for null_sign

* even more cleanup

* Revert "even more cleanup"

This reverts commit be29f032415c53d4d40842f93f1fd1fb6f9cc6bd.
