EVM: update transaction base cost

Thomas Pecseli requested to merge thomas.pecseli@evm.accurate.base.cost into master

Context

The base cost of transactions has a more fine grained cost structure that previously implemented. Specifically, there is a cost associated with the size of transaction input data, and additional costs associated with contract create. This MR goes towards getting the price of contract creation right.

Corresponds to G_txdatazeo, G_txdatanonzero and G_create in Appendix G of Yellow paper. image

Transaction data cost is

  • 4 per 0 byte
  • 16 per non zero byte

Contract creation cost is 32000 (plus the standard 21000).

Manually testing the MR

Price updates should be reflected in updates to unit tests. Run them as part of CI.
