This release adds a kill-switch to op-node to print an error at startup if the Pectra Blob Schedule Fix time is not set for a Sepolia or Holesky chain. The check only happens if the chain's genesis is before the Holesky/Sepolia Pectra activation time. The check can be disabled with a hidden flag.
The purpose of the kill-switch is to make sure that node operators don't accidentally upgrade their nodes without scheduling the fix because most Holesky and Sepolia chains were running a sequencer that ran into the Pectra Blob Schedule bug. So it's better to not start op-node in such cases at all rather than accidentally forking the chain.
