Generate fixtures for these test cases for Amsterdam with:

fill -v tests/amsterdam/eip7928_block_level_access_lists/test_block_access_lists_eip2935.py::test_bal_2935_absent_contract --fork Amsterdam

Ensure an undeployed history contract is still recorded in the BAL.

Overriding the genesis contract with an empty account drops it from the pre-state. The block-start system call reads the now-absent account (recording it) and finds no code to run, so the address is in the BAL with an empty AccountChanges. Unreachable on mainnet, consensus-relevant on custom or test chains.
