fix: staking optimization v1.6.x patch

[randy-cro]

Description

This patch introduces a fixed gas consumption decorator in the antehandler to standardize gas usage for whitelisted messages.
Currently, only staking-related messages are included in the whitelist.

⚠️ Version Note:
As this is a v1.5 patch, all staking-related operations will be rejected at the antehandler level.
This serves as a warning for node operators about potential AppHash mismatches if inconsistent gas consumption is detected.

---

Purpose

This ensures consistent gas consumption across all nodes, regardless of variations in staking cache size.
By normalizing gas usage, it prevents potential AppHash mismatches caused by node-specific performance differences.

Implementation Details

• A fixed gas amount is assigned per whitelisted message type.
• The values are derived from the average gas usage observed on mainnet.

For example, the mean gas used for MsgUndelegate can be referenced here:

This change works in tandem with the staking cache introduced in the Cosmos SDK:
crypto-org-chain/cosmos-sdk#1733
