Description

We have 3 different major versions of `ethereumjs-util` and many minor versions. We want to upgrade all of them to `@ethereumsj/util` across our dependency tree.

This is ultimately in service of the `Replace secp256k1 & keccak with @noble/secp256k1 & @noble/hashes throughout dependency tree` [epic](https://github.com/MetaMask/metamask-extension/issues/15904) since `ethereumjs-util` contains both of the heavier older packages, and `@ethereumsj/util` contains the noble implementations.

Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by tracing the dependency tree and locating every ethereumjs-util version and package manifest that brings it in; compare the migration with epic #15904. Done means all versions are replaced by @ethereumjs/util and the dependency tree no longer retains ethereumjs-util.
