[Bug] Graphnode can no longer process blocks with `base_fee_per_gas` over u64 limit

[Isarafanikov]

Bug report

When encountering a block with base_fee_per_gas being higher than 2^64, it fails to parse the block

In previous graphnode versions, the base_fee_per_gas field of the block header was U256

https://github.com/graphprotocol/rust-web3/blob/585c9db21576fd9aace40607b764ec870a5faebb/src/types/block.rs#L38-L39

In v0.42, graphnode switched to the alloy instead, which has the base_fee_per_gas as an u64

https://github.com/alloy-rs/alloy/blob/76aa416c661c370e588b9632d34d8e5062ab00f5/crates/consensus-any/src/block/header.rs#L60-L69
