Ethereum (Go) - v1.13.13

This is a minor release with fixes for several issues related to the upcoming Cancun mainnet fork. As such, it is recommended for all mainnet users.

Changes in this release:

• Block-building performance with blob transactions has been improved a lot. (#29026, #29008, #29005)
• A corner case in the EVM related to out-of-order fork scheduling has been fixed. (#29023)
• eth_fillTransaction has seen some bug fixes related to blob transactions as well. (#28929, #29037)
• A rare panic in the ethstats client related to chain reorgs is resolved. (#29020)
• The blobpool database will now recover from disk corruption faults instead of crashing geth on startup. (#29001)
• Geth now implements getClientVersionV1 on the Engine API endpoint. (#28915, #28994)

Go API changes:

• ethereum.CallMsg now contains EIP-4844 related fields (#28989)
• core.GenesisAlloc is now available from package core/types. We hope this change will reduce external dependencies on package core. (#29003)
