hardhat support

[jakim929]

currently supersim only works with anvil.

Few options

1. shell out to hardhat (may require nodejs dependencies)
2. build a JSON RPC server on top of EDR https://github.com/NomicFoundation/edr

Hello guys would love to work on this.

[s29papi]

I'd be happy to work on this feature. Before proceeding, I have a few questions and observations:

1. User Interface

   • How should users specify their preference for Hardhat?
   • Would a CLI flag like supersim --hardhat be the preferred approach?

2. Implementation Considerations

   • Using Hardhat would require modifications to packages where Anvil is currently tightly coupled (e.g., the orchestrator package)
   • We'd need to implement conditional logic to switch between Anvil and Hardhat

3. Current Progress

   • I've started working on a solution using a shell script that:
     • Verifies Node.js installation in the environment
     • Sets up a local Hardhat project in a designated directory
   • This approach leverages EDR's existing stable Hardhat support

Would love to get your thoughts on these points before proceeding further.
