Describe the bug

Anvil throws HttpProviderError when a custom gas limit is passed as kwarg to an ethers contract function, that is larger than the block limit of the forked network.
For example:

  const results = await this.pathFinder.callStatic.findAllSwaps(swapTask, {
    gasLimit: 400e6
  });

would fail when run on Anvil forking the mainnet. This is despite a larger block limit being set in foundry.toml.
This breaks functionality involving static calls that consume more than a block of gas - even though node providers allow up to 300-500M of gas per static call. hardhat node in forking mode also allows large static calls, as long as a custom gas limit is provided.
