This PR fixes an overflow which can could happen if inconsistent blockchain rules were configured. Additionally, it tries to prevent such inconsistencies from occurring by making sure that merge cannot be enabled unless previous fork(s) are also enabled.
Previously, the makeCallVariantGasCallEIP2929 charged the cold account access cost directly, leading to an incorrect gas cost passed to the tracer from the main execution loop.
This change still temporarily charges the cost (to allow for an accurate calculation of the available gas for the call), but then afterwards refunds it and instead returns the correct total gas cost to be then properly charged in the main loop.
