Describe your changes and provide context
There are cases when gas estimation needs to be done based on certain simulated states which cannot be statically inputted as state overrides. One example is to estimate gas for an ERC20 transferFrom while assuming the allowance is in place.
This PR (together with sei-protocol/go-ethereum#35) adds a new endpoint
eth_estimateGasAfterCalls
to support such use cases.Testing performed to validate your change
