cmd/evm: implement input txs via rlp in t8n tool (#23138)

In many cases, it's desireable to use already-signed transactions as input to the state transition, instead of having the evm sign them internally (for example to use malformed or not-yet-valid transactions). This PR adds support + docs for that feature.
