State and frame transactions
ethresear.ch: The Anatomy of Ethereum's State Access
17:37 (weiihann).

(forshtat), submitted and merged: storage slot parameters use `COLD_SLOAD_COST`/`WARM_STORAGE_READ_COST`, and balance and codehash parameters use `COLD_ACCOUNT_ACCESS_COST`/`WARM_STORAGE_READ_COST`, replacing a flat placeholder cost.
