Changes default behavior of
eth_callandeth_estimateGasto use the"pending"block tag.Motivation
per discussion in slack channel
Users do not expect to simulate on latest height and timestamp, and will get subtly incorrect outputs when calls read
block.heightorblock.timestamp. Users generally expect the next value when simulating, as they are anticipating submitting a transaction. This changes default client behavior to specify"pending"for those callsPR Checklist
