test_tx_max_nonce()

Documentation for tests/frontier/validation/test_transaction.py::test_tx_max_nonce@5fa5938b.

Generate fixtures for these test cases for Amsterdam with:

fill -v tests/frontier/validation/test_transaction.py::test_tx_max_nonce --fork Amsterdam

Test that a transaction with the maximum nonce value (2**64 - 1) is rejected, as the maximum usable nonce is 2**64 - 2.

The sender account is funded at the same nonce so that clients which check nonce equality first reach the max-nonce check instead of rejecting the transaction with a nonce mismatch.
