Convert the Arbitrum 0x input into a Solana-account receipt

Arbitrum uses EVM account addresses and ETH for source gas. Solana uses Solana accounts, transaction signatures, and SOL for destination activity. A 0x address is not a valid substitute for the Solana receiving address shown by the route. SOL uses SOL contract token on the source; AVAX uses AVAX contract token on Solana.
