Ethereum (Go) - v1.13.4

Geth v1.13.4 is a non-urgent hotfix release. The previous version of Geth (v1.13.3) introduced a warning log for bad transaction announcements, and on mainnet it generated too much logging noise due to a protocol violation in Erigon. To prevent overwhelming logging systems, Geth v1.13.4 lower the log to a more reasonable level until the bug in Erigon is fixed #28356.

Apart from the above reason, the release contains:

• Fix a snap sync corner-case that could cause a hang by a maliciously constructed contract storage (#28306).
• Update various dependencies to unstick versions of Go libs (#28329, #28333, #28334, #28332, #28336).
• Enable Pebble database support on 32bit platforms and on OpenBSD too (#28335).
• Fix returning the correct code hash for eth_getProof with empty storage (#28357).
• Simplify trie range prover for some upcoming snap sync optimisations (#28311).
• Fix a timeout mechanism in the transaction fetcher (#28220).

For a full rundown of the changes please consult the Geth 1.13.4 release milestone.
