Test CALL to precompile inside STATICCALL with zero and non-zero value.

Regression test for tests#683. Source: https://github.com/ethereum/execution-specs/pull/1960#discussion_r2656834142

A single contract STATICCALLs itself. On reentry (detected via CALLVALUE=0, since STATICCALL doesn't forward value), it attempts CALL to a precompile.

  • call_value=0: CALL succeeds in static context → STATICCALL returns 1
  • call_value>0: CALL violates static context, reverts frame → STATICCALL returns 0
