Feature request: hardhat network to support eth_getProof

[yehted]

Hi, I would like eth_getProof to be part of the supported JSON-RPC methods (https://hardhat.org/hardhat-network/docs/reference#json-rpc-methods-support). I am doing something where I am using merkle proofs, which can be found via that endpoint. FWIW, ganache supports this method (trufflesuite/ganache#382).

This issue is also being tracked on Linear.

We use Linear to manage our development process, but we keep the conversations on Github.

First of all, respect for whatever you are doing! First time someone actually asks for this.

Would you be ok if we have eth_getProof for non-forked networks only?

Yup, that's totally fine

With ganache being deprecated, and Anvil's support for eth_getProof broken, it'd be great to see this added. Any hope of support? With all the existing libraries already in use, it feels like it should be relatively straightforward.

+1 for this method, we are using it to track the storage merkle root of our contract
