test_create_nonce_overflow()

Documentation for tests/berlin/eip2929_gas_cost_increases/test_create.py::test_create_nonce_overflow@b314d18e.

Generate fixtures for these test cases for Amsterdam with:

fill -v tests/berlin/eip2929_gas_cost_increases/test_create.py::test_create_nonce_overflow --fork Amsterdam

Test that a failed CREATE/CREATE2 due to sender nonce overflow does not warm the contract address.

A creator contract with nonce 2^64-1 (max) attempts to create. The create aborts because the nonce cannot be incremented, and a subsequent BALANCE check verifies the would-be contract address remains cold.
