Allow setting block timestamp and block number when using TransactionContextBuilder

[partylikeits1983]

I think setting the block number makes sense, but is there any real use case in terms of transaction or note scripts related to timestamps?

Having the timestamp available inside the kernel would be useful, but it isn't absolutely necessary. You could create some "timelock" account and compute the time until unlock by knowing the Miden blocktime * number_of_blocks.

Setting the block number in the TransactionContextBuilder would be useful.
