[EVM] associate via bytes conversion

[stevenlanders]

Describe your changes and provide context

Going forward, we will stop supporting address association based on pubkey derivation, but use direct casting for all accounts who haven't already established pubkey-based association. Existing pubkey-based association will still be respected. Namely the following changes are made:

• the address lookup functions will resort to direct casting if no association is found in db
• AssociateTx type is removed
• No pubkey-based association will be established for either EVM txs or Cosmos txs
• No association will be set for new EVM code
• Legacy association logic is still supported in trace endpoints
