update eip 8037 to latest spec test

PR description

Update devnet reference tests to https://github.com/ethereum/execution-spec-tests/releases/tag/bal%40v5.6.1:

Per-tx state gas pre-check removal

1. check_transaction was reserving the full tx gas limit against the state gas budget per-transaction, but EIP-8037 only defines block-level validation. This rejected valid blocks where individual txs exceeded the state gas budget but the block total was valid.
2. Multi-tx block where individual txs exceed the state gas budget but the block total max(regular, state) <= gas_limit is valid.

CREATE state gas ordering (now active)

1. charge_state_gas(STATE_BYTES_PER_NEW_ACCOUNT) was called before the MAX_INIT_CODE_SIZE validation in create()/create2(). A CREATE with oversized initcode would persist state_gas_used for an account that was never created. Also moved is_static check before gas charging, consistent with SSTORE, CALL, and SELFDESTRUCT.
2. Existing test_max_initcode_size_via_create[over_max] cases cover this scenario after re-fill.
   Code deposit halt state gas
3. Initcode that performs state-creating operations (CALL to new account, inner CREATE) then triggers code deposit failure (oversized code or OOG). Verifies reverted GAS_NEW_ACCOUNT does not count in block_state_gas_used.

Pull request overview

Note

Copilot was unable to run its full agentic suite in this review.

Updates Besu’s EIP-8037-related behavior and devnet reference fixtures to align with the latest execution-spec-tests release, specifically around removing per-tx state gas pre-checks and correcting CREATE initcode/state-gas ordering.

Changes:

• Bump execution-spec-tests devnet fixtures from bal@v5.5.1 to bal@v5.6.1 (Gradle dependency + verification metadata).
• Update EIP-8037 block/tx capacity pre-checks to consider regular gas only (state gas validated at block level).
• Reorder CREATE initcode max-size validation to happen before charging state gas.
