[Feature] Anvil in Provider don't have same types as the rest of the project

provider, pubsub, other

Describe the feature you would like

Hello,

In the other parts of alloy, some fields have changed from U256 into u64 and u128, examples:

• Block number: u64
• Gas priority and base fee: u128
• Nonce: u64

These changes are done for when we interact with the real blockchain, but these types differ in the Anvil part of the provider:

• anvil_mine num blocks is an U256 where a block is normally a u64 in other parts of alloy (also interval should be changed into an u64 as anvil_set_interval_mining takes an u64 as parameter)
• anvil_set_nonce the nonce should be an u64
• anvil_set_min_gas_price should take as parameter an u128
• anvil_set_next_block_base_fee_per_gas should take as parameter an u128
• anvil_increase_time may take as parameter an u64 as block.timestamp is an u64
• anvil_set_block_gas_limit should take an u64 as parameter as gas_limit is an u64

Anvil rpc types changes

The same types are present in anvil-rpc-types:

• NodeEnviornment: base_fee and gas_price should be u128, gas_limit should be u64

Additional context

I think it would be great to keep the same types across all parts of alloy.

yep, makes sense, we def want this.

these were originally ported from anvil directly hence the diff.

but should def be unified as much as possible
