Existing behaviour:

  • Add up the possible value that user must pay beforehand to buy gas
  • Deduct that amount from the sender's account in intraBlockState, but:
  • Don't deduct the gas value amount if the user doesn't have enough, and gasBailout is set

New behaviour:

  • Don't check if sender's balance is enough to pay gas value amount, nor deduct it, if gasBailout is set

More rationale
This would mean the sender's account would show "balance": "=" in trace_call rpc method, that is, no change, if gas is the only thing the user pays for. This is fine because the gas price can fluctuate in a real transaction. This also removes the inconsistency of sometimes having to bother deducting the amount if it is less than sender's balance, thereby causing a bug/inconsistency.

**Existing behaviour:**
- Add up the possible value that user must pay beforehand to buy gas
- Deduct that amount from the sender's account in `intraBlockState`,
but:
- Don't deduct the gas value amount if the user doesn't have enough, and
`gasBailout` is set

**New behaviour:**
- Don't check if sender's balance is enough to pay gas value amount, nor
deduct it, if `gasBailout` is set

**More rationale**
This would mean the sender's account would show `"balance": "="` in
