Hi! I'm a bot, and I wanted to automerge your PR, but couldn't because of the following issue(s):

  • Trying to change EIP 3554 state from Draft to Review

Starting with `FORK_BLOCK_NUMBER` the client will calculate the difficulty based on a fake block number suggesting to the client that the difficulty bomb is adjusting 9,666,666 blocks later than the actual block number.

## Motivation
Targeting for the Shanghai upgrde and/or the Merge to occur before Decemember 2021. Either the bomb can be readjusted at that time, or removed all together.
