Pull request overview
This PR fixes the Ethereum trace API’s transactionPosition indexing so trace responses align with Ethereum’s zero-based transaction ordering and match Lotus’s block transaction indices.
Changes:
- Move
EthTraceBlock’s message index increment so the first non-system transaction is reported as position0instead of1. - Update integration-test expectations in
TestTraceFilterto reflect zero-basedtransactionPosition. - Document the API behavior change in the unreleased changelog.

Thanks to Yan from Blockscout for picking this one up. It's been present since the beginning for these APIs. Confirmed incorrect by querying public Ethereum APIs to make sure they are all zero-based.
