Depend on MBF's ethereum fork

[manuelmauro]

What does it do?

Switch the ethereum crate dependency from crates.io (0.18.2) to the Moonbeam Foundation fork (moonbeam-polkadot-stable2506 branch).

Details

• Replace the crates.io ethereum dependency with git+https://github.com/moonbeam-foundation/ethereum?branch=moonbeam-polkadot-stable2506 in the workspace Cargo.toml.
• Cargo.lock updates reflect the new ethereum source and bumped commit hashes across frontier, evm, and moonkit forks (all on moonbeam-polkadot-stable2506).
• No code changes; only dependency source and lockfile updates.
