feat(api): Integrate new VM into API server (no tracers) (matter-labs…

…#3033)

## What ❔

Integrates the new VM into API server for 3 use cases: gas estimation,
calls, and tx execution (without the validation stage).

## Why ❔

These use cases do not require tracers and could benefit from faster VM
execution (particularly gas estimation, which runs the VM multiple
times).

## Checklist

- [x] PR title corresponds to the body of PR (we generate changelog
entries from PRs).
- [x] Tests for the changes have been added / updated.
- [x] Documentation comments have been added / updated.
