Description

Several files in KEVM are really solidity specific, which means they belong in Kontrol, for example:

I suspect that these files aren't really needed in KEVM anymore, and so can be moved to Kontrol, and this would avoid issues where those files are updated, a bug is introduced, and not discovered until the merge into Kontrol (for example https://github.com/runtimeverification/evm-semantics/pull/2174).

Research direction

Start by reviewing abi.md and hashed-locations.md in the linked KEVM path, then check whether they are still referenced by KEVM or needed by Kontrol. Compare the corresponding Kontrol usage and move the Solidity-specific files only when their dependencies are understood; done means they live in Kontrol and no longer create update or merge issues in KEVM.
