feat: add support for the shanghai hardfork (#4272)

• EIP-3651: Warm COINBASE
• EIP-3855: PUSH0 instruction
• EIP-4895: Beacon chain push withdrawals as operations
• EIP-6049: Deprecate SELFDESTRUCT
• EIP-3860: Limit and meter initcode

We've added a new option allowUnlimitedInitCodeSize to disable EIP-3860 (Limit and meter initcode) to continue to allow for uploading very large contracts. In most cases it will need to be combined with the allowUnlimitedContractSize option.

This also fixes two bugs:

• block size was not computed correctly (persisted databases will be updated and migrated automatically)
  • the database migration may add a one-time delay to startup when using a persistent database (--database.dbPath). This should be insignificant for the majority of cases. The migration was benchmarked with 180,000 blocks, and completed in 6.4 seconds.
• internal "intrinsic gas" checks now correctly include accessList fees, if there are any.
