Gas and blobs: BPO2

ralexstokes: BPO2 is live, blob target 14 and max 21, with a block already carrying 18 blobs

08:09; terencechain: after BPO2 raised target and max from 10 and 15 to 14 and 21, blob prices spiked instead of dropping, 21:59.

Gas: EIP-8120 and a post-quantum precompile

Add EIP: MLOAD8 and CALLDATALOAD8 Opcodes

(Helkomine), submitted, with Magicians discussion, 17:12: one operation loads a single byte, cutting gas and bytecode size versus MLOAD or CALLDATALOAD plus shifts.
