fix: eth get block transaction count by hash to work with forks (#3739)

The RPC method eth_getBlockTransactionCountByHash had a bug that caused it to not return results when requesting a block before the effective "forkBlockNumber".

fix: log warning regarding transactions with future-nonces when in eager mode (#4166)

@benams ran into a confusing situation in which future-nonce transactions that are sent to Ganache running in eager mining mode (the default) appear to hang indefinitely, rather than being mined or rejected. This is expected behavior in eager mode, as Ganache does not return the hash until after it is mined. To help alleviate the confusion we now log a message about the status of these kinds of transactions.

Closes #4165
