Trace precompiled contracts when the transfer value is not zero (open…

…ethereum#8486)

* Trace precompiled contracts when the transfer value is not zero

* Add tests for precompiled CALL tracing

* Use byzantium test machine for the new test

* Add notes in comments on why we don't trace all precompileds

* Use is_transferred instead of transferred
