feat(payload): prototype cached payload builder using engine-tree caches

Adds EthereumPayloadBuilder2 that demonstrates using the engine-tree's
three caches (execution cache, precompile cache, sparse trie) inside the
payload builder for faster block building.

Changes:
- New builder2.rs with EthereumPayloadBuilder2 and cached_ethereum_payload()
- Make payload_processor types public (SharedPreservedSparseTrie,
  PreservedSparseTrie, PreservedTrieGuard, SparseTrie, PayloadExecutionCache)
- SparseTrieStateProvider wrapper delegating all StateProvider traits
- Sparse trie state root is a stub (falls through to standard computation)

+Fixed a bug in `ArenaParallelSparseTrie` where subtrie updates that would completely empty a subtrie were incorrectly dispatched to parallel workers instead of being processed inline, preventing correct branch collapse detection when blinded siblings are present. Refactored the `SparseTrie` test suite to accept a `fn() -> T` factory instead of requiring `T: Default`, enabling a new `arena_parallel_sparse_trie_always_parallel` test variant that exercises all tests with parallelism thresholds set to 1. Added `test_branch_collapse_multi_empty_subtries_blinded_remaining` to cover the case where removing multiple revealed leaves empties their subtries and leaves a single blinded sibling requiring a proof.

+# Full PGO+BOLT optimized build for reth using real reth-bench workloads.

+# Phases:

+#   2. Build BOLT-instrumented reth (with PGO), run reth-bench → collect BOLT profiles
+#   3. Build final PGO+BOLT optimized binary
+#
+# Required environment variables:
+#   DATADIR    - Path to reth datadir (must already contain chain data)
+#   RPC_URL    - Source RPC URL for reth-bench to fetch payloads from
+#
+# Optional environment variables:
+#   PGO_BLOCKS      - Number of blocks for PGO profiling (default: 20)
+#   BOLT_BLOCKS     - Number of blocks for BOLT profiling (default: 20)
+#   SKIP_BOLT       - Temporarily skip BOLT phases (default: false)
+#   STRIP_SYMBOLS   - Strip debug symbols from output binary (default: true)
+#   COLLECT_PGO_ONLY - Stop after producing merged.profdata (default: false)
+#   PGO_PROFDATA    - Path to pre-collected merged.profdata (optional)
+#   PROFILE         - Cargo profile (default: maxperf-symbols)
+#   FEATURES        - Cargo features (default: jemalloc,asm-keccak,min-debug-logs)
+#   TARGET          - Target triple (default: auto-detected)
+#   EXTRA_RUSTFLAGS - Additional RUSTFLAGS (e.g. -C target-cpu=x86-64-v3)
+#

 ### Opening PRs against <https://github.com/paradigmxyz/reth>
 
+#### Titles
+
+Use [Conventional Commits](https://www.conventionalcommits.org/) with an optional scope:
+
+```
+<type>(<scope>): <short description>
+```
+
+**Types**: `feat`, `fix`, `perf`, `refactor`, `docs`, `test`, `chore`
+
+**Scope** (optional): crate or area, e.g. `evm`, `trie`, `rpc`, `engine`, `net`
+
+Examples:
+- `fix(rpc): correct gas estimation for ERC-20 transfers`
+- `perf: batch trie updates to reduce cursor overhead`
+- `feat(engine): add new_payload_interval metric`
+
+#### Descriptions
+
+Keep it short. Say what changed and why — nothing more.
+
+**Do:**
+- Write 1–3 sentences summarizing the change
+- Explain _why_ if the diff doesn't make it obvious
+- Link related issues or EIPs
+- Include benchmark numbers for perf changes
+
+**Don't:**
+- List every file changed — that's what the diff is for
+- Repeat the title in the body
+- Add "Files changed" or "Changes" sections
+- Write walls of text that go stale when the diff is updated
+- Use filler like "This PR introduces...", "comprehensive", "robust", "enhance", "leverage"
+
+**Template:**
+
+```
+Closes #<issue>
+
+<what changed, 1-3 sentences>
+
+<why, if not obvious from the diff>
+```
+
+**Good example:**
+
+```
+Closes #16800
+
+Adds fallback for external IP resolution so node startup doesn't fail
+when STUN is unreachable. Falls back to the configured default.
+```
+
+**Bad example:**
+
+```
+## Summary
+This PR introduces comprehensive improvements to the IP resolution system.
+
+## Changes
+- Modified `crates/net/discv4/src/lib.rs` to add fallback
+- Modified `crates/net/discv4/src/config.rs` to add default IP
+- Added tests in `crates/net/discv4/src/tests/ip.rs`
+
+## Files Changed
+- crates/net/discv4/src/lib.rs
+- crates/net/discv4/src/config.rs
+- crates/net/discv4/src/tests/ip.rs
+```
+
+#### Labels and CI
+
 Label PRs appropriately, first check the available labels and then apply the relevant ones:
 * when changes are RPC related, add A-rpc label
 * when changes are docs related, add C-docs label
