[Bug]: Unable to configure hardfork/ EIPS

[pgherveou]

Describe the bug

Hey there 👋

We are hitting an issue with the latest release
It looks like the latest version is using @metamsk/transaction-controller 50.0.0

This version define the default hardfork to be Prague
and there are no way to configure how the chain Common from @ethereumjs/common is configured

This is how the Common::custom is being called:

https://github.com/MetaMask/core/blob/3350d56f237d0fc5ae2f3d7663c779fd7b025281/packages/transaction-controller/src/utils/prepare.ts?plain=1#L48

function getCommonConfiguration(chainId: Hex): Common {
  const customChainParams: Partial<ChainConfig> = {
    chainId: parseInt(chainId, 16),
    defaultHardfork: HARDFORK,
  };

  return Common.custom(customChainParams, {
    eips: [7702],
  });
}

As a result this break our chain for certain transaction types
For example this Hardfork integrate EIP-3860 that defines a maxInitCodeSize that is too low for our chain

Expected behavior

There should be an option to configure the chain and define what fork / EIP it support

Hi @sleepytanya
just wondering if you’d be open to a PR addressing this?
Happy to take a stab at it if there’s no strong preference on the fix
but let me know if you have a preferred approach or if this is something you’d rather handle internally.
