solana: figure out why solana CLI >=1.17 doesn't work

With 1.17, test validator dies with validator logs resembling:

With >=1.18, <1.18.8, stack errors occur when invoking any instructions even with a refactor of account contexts.

And with >=1.18.8, stack errors can be resolved with a refactor of account contexts, but there is an issue with deserialization. One example is with the initialize instruction, where inputs resemble:

    const auctionParams: AuctionParameters = {
        userPenaltyRewardBps: 250_000, // 25%
        initialPenaltyBps: 250_000, // 25%
        duration: 2,
        gracePeriod: 5,
        penaltyPeriod: 10,
        minOfferDeltaBps: 20_000, // 2%
        securityDepositBase: uint64ToBN(4_200_000n),
        securityDepositBps: 5_000, // 0.5%
    };

But when debugging the Anchor instruction data, we get:

AuctionParameters { user_penalty_reward_bps: 1183200, initial_penalty_bps: 0, duration: 11768, grace_period: 0, penalty_period: 2, min_offer_delta_bps: 32720, security_deposit_base: 4200000, security_deposit_bps: 3 }

So right now, it is impossible to consider building without solana CLI 1.16.27.

Consider using https://github.com/coral-xyz/anchor/pull/2766.

When using the anchor lang fork, be sure to use this:

[patch.crates-io]
anchor-lang = { git = ... }
anchor-spl = { git = ... }

With 1.17, test validator dies with validator logs resembling:

Be careful with CI like here: https://github.com/wormhole-foundation/example-native-token-transfers/pull/391.

In playing around with upticking another repo to Anchor 0.30.0, there may be hope here.

Use Solana CLI >=1.18.10, solana_program >=1.18.10, update avm and anchor CLIs to 0.30.0.

Also be aware of this: https://github.com/anza-xyz/agave/issues/522, which will require us to write a custom script to load forked programs because any instruction that performs CPI to any of these loaded programs will cause the following error in our test validator:

SendTransactionError: failed to send transaction: Transaction simulation failed: This program may not be used for executing instructions
