Make hardhat-chai-matchers compatible with hardhat-viem / library-agnostic

[schaable]

The hardhat-chai-matchers plugin is currently only compatible with hardhat-ethers. This issue aims to see if there's interest in making it work with hardhat-viem and other Ethereum libraries. Please upvote or comment if you think this would be an useful feature.

viem is great imo, hopefully we can support this when able.

Would love to have this! much more cleaner with the matchers!

To add to that, hardhat-chain-matchers now uses the chaiAsPromised library which is not maintained anymore and is incompatible with chai 5. So it would make sense to upgrade / replace that as well while getting viem going.

I put up a PR to add a viem specific package for chai matchers: #5252

In case anyone finds it useful, in the meantime, I deployed it here: https://www.npmjs.com/package/hardhat-chai-matchers-viem
