Scope

New vs v7.0.0: ethereum/EIPs#11902, a change to EIP-7928 to align better with EIP-2780.

Intrinsic gas rework for EIP-2780/EIP-8037, a pre-access check for EIP-8038/EIP-7928, and final EIP-8282 contract constants & disable switch.

Repricing numbers (EIP-8038, EIP-2780) are treated as stable for devnet-7 but will likely be changed still.

New mined EIP-8282 addresses:

• Builder Deposit Contract: 0x0000BFF46984E3725691FA540A8C7589300D8282
• Builder Exit Contract: 0x000064D678505AD48F8CCB093BC65613800E8282
