HH-998 Add flag to ignore unknown EIP-2718 types when forking [NomicFoundation/hardhat#2995]

Certain EVM blockchain (e.g. Arbitrum Nitro) have non-standard EIP-2718 typed transaction that would prevent hardhat fork from working due to Unknown transaction type

While it is rarely a good idea to use hardhat fork with these blockchain due to chain specific behavior and precompiles as discussed in #1902, some devs found it helpful to test non-chain specific logic with a hardhat fork. To workaround the Unknown transaction type error, I am proposing to add an optional --fork-ignore-unknown-tx-type flag to skip those transactions.

You can reproduce the error with

hardhat node --fork https://goerli-rollup.arbitrum.io/rpc

• Arbitrum Nitro specific EIP-2718 types

	ArbitrumDepositTxType         = 100
	ArbitrumUnsignedTxType        = 101
	ArbitrumContractTxType        = 102
	ArbitrumRetryTxType           = 104
	ArbitrumSubmitRetryableTxType = 105
	ArbitrumInternalTxType        = 106
	ArbitrumLegacyTxType          = 120
