Why this should be merged
Simplify setting of the beacon block root in the EIP-4788 history contract without having to construct a
vm.EVM.How this works
Directly sets storage slots, as allowed by the EIP. The caveat in the EIP is not relevant to us because we are concerned with the canonical contract.
How this was tested
Integration test setting the root via the new function and getting via a contract call. Also exercises the upstream
core.ProcessBeaconBlockRoot()gold standard as a test of the test.
