closes #2206

this feature is kinda horrible and we should not force anyone into using it.

this is also only useful when deserializing json large numbers but since u256 are supposed to be hex it's fine to not support deserializing arbitrary numbers

I know now why this was added...

geth emits large ints for "terminalTotalDifficulty\":58750000000000000000000 which serde json can not capture

@Rjected should we remove the totaldifficulty from the object?

We probably can, IIRC this is not required for spawning geth with a normal genesis, and we don't use ethers for hive tests / hive genesis

@Rjected turns out this can be fixed by manually converting the captured float, let's do that on reth as well
