feat(json): introduce MarshalJSONHex

[itsdevbear]

A bit of an edge case, but cannot seem to get payload unmarshalling to be happy.

I don't quite see the point of this. The MarshalJSONHex is not part of any interface that I know of, so it cannot be auto-detected and used by encoders. And if you need to explicitly use it, you might aswell just use Hex() directly.

I was torn about this PR as well. The reason here was to provide api surface to allow uint256's to be used in an ExecutionPayload more naturally.

In geth right now you have to write a custom marshal function if the consensus side type of your ExecutionPayload uses a uint256, else geth will freak out.

This is the broader issue i'm trying to tackle, open to other suggestions

How does this PR make any difference, though?

Seems abandoned. Please reopen if that was not the case
