Why this should be merged
In golang, the proper way to maintain a forked library is to perform the textual rename of the module to its new (forked) location.
How this works
Unfortunately, depending on both libevm and go-ethereum is not possible (even in transitive dependencies), as this will pull in duplicate symbols with CGO (similar to this issue cosmos/cosmos-sdk#18232, not exactly)
This avalanchego branch performs the same rename and depends on c1ae67c to get rid of the transitive dependency to go-ethereum
How this was tested
