Adds a soft response size limit to BAL store lookups used by GetBlockAccessLists.

The network handler now requests BAL entries through a limited store API with the standard 2MB response limit, so large BAL responses stop after the first entry that exceeds the limit. Missing BALs still fall back to the RLP empty-list entry.

I think we can can keep this behaviour

this seems fine, the spec is a bit ambiguous here, so until this is clarified we can keep this imo

Mirrors MAX_RECEIPTS_SERVE, MAX_HEADERS_SERVE, and MAX_BODIES_SERVE.

paradigmxyz#23725 added the response size soft limit, but a peer requesting many
hashes can still force an unbounded number of allocations before the
size cap triggers (each empty BAL is 1 byte).

Adds MAX_BLOCK_ACCESS_LISTS_SERVE = 1024 to align with sibling request
handlers in this file.

## Migrations

🔗 Amp thread:
https://ampcode.com/threads/T-019dd89c-63d3-752f-ac22-7d4aef2ac3e3
- **Bumped reth git rev** from `7839f3d` to `73ec2c9` across all
`reth-*` workspace dependencies in
[Cargo.toml](file:///home/runner/work/tempo/tempo/Cargo.toml), and
bumped `reth-primitives-traits` from `0.3.0` to `0.3.1` and `alloy-evm`
from `0.33.0` to `0.34.0` to track upstream releases.
- **Switched p2p proxy transactions channel** from
`tokio::sync::mpsc::unbounded_channel` to
`reth_metrics::common::mpsc::memory_bounded_channel` with a 32 MiB
budget in
[bin/tempo/src/p2p_proxy.rs](file:///home/runner/work/tempo/tempo/bin/tempo/src/p2p_proxy.rs),
matching reth's new default `tx_channel_memory_limit_bytes` to prevent
unbounded memory growth; added `reth-metrics` to
[bin/tempo/Cargo.toml](file:///home/runner/work/tempo/tempo/bin/tempo/Cargo.toml).
- **Changed `BlockExecutor::commit_transaction` signature** in
[crates/evm/src/block.rs](file:///home/runner/work/tempo/tempo/crates/evm/src/block.rs)
from returning `Result<GasOutput, BlockExecutionError>` to returning
`GasOutput` directly (upstream removed the fallible return); replaced
the missing-tx error with an `expect`, and updated all tests to drop
`.unwrap()`.
- **Added `Send + 'static` bound to `TxResult` impl** for
`TempoTxResult<H>` to satisfy the new upstream trait bounds on
associated execution-result types.
- **Exposed `TempoBlockExecutor` and `TempoTxResult` as `pub`**
(previously `pub(crate)`) and re-exported them from
[crates/evm/src/lib.rs](file:///home/runner/work/tempo/tempo/crates/evm/src/lib.rs)
so they can be named in the new associated types.
- **Added associated types `TxExecutionResult` and `Executor` to
`BlockExecutorFactory` impl** for `TempoEvmConfig`, and changed
`create_executor` to return the concrete `Self::Executor<'a, DB, I>`
instead of `impl BlockExecutorFor<'a, Self, DB, I>`, tracking upstream's
move from RPIT to named associated types; dropped the now-unused
`BlockExecutorFor` import and the `'a` lifetime bounds on `DB`/`I`.
- **Implemented new `HeaderMut` methods** (`set_mix_hash`,
`set_extra_data`, `set_parent_beacon_block_root`) for `TempoHeader` in
[crates/primitives/src/reth_compat/header.rs](file:///home/runner/work/tempo/tempo/crates/primitives/src/reth_compat/header.rs)
to satisfy the expanded upstream trait, delegating to the inner Ethereum
header.
