Support risc-v

[come-maiz]

RISC-V is a good start to get Ethereum nodes running in free hardware, which is a necessary step for a local-first decentralized economy. Lightclients are another necessary step, so these two worlds together are very powerful.

Please support the risc-v architecture in this project.

Next we have to update rustls, which is problematic because surf keeps it pinned to an old version and it is unmaintained:

Yeah I guess we should remove it as a dependency and switch to something else in that case

#1446

I opened a PR to move us to reqwest instead of surf, so that should unblock that step

Nice! Thank you @KolbyML. It works.

Next is ethers-providers:
gakonst/ethers-rs#2786

We want to remove etheres-rs in Trin and replace it with alloy

[come-maiz]

That sounds perfect.

@come-maiz This PR #1456 removes our dependency on ethers-rs, are you able to compile on risc-v yet, or are there still some dependency issues?

[come-maiz]

thanks @KolbyML!

Compilation almost finishes now. It's getting stuck in librocksdb-sys, I'll see what I can do on my machine to get it to compile.

@come-maiz try installing clang and tell me if it works sudo apt install clang

[come-maiz]

It was installed.
