Prepare for 0.44.0 release (#3025)

## Version 0.44.0

### Breaking
- [2887](#2887): Bump Rust
version to `1.85.0`.
Starting with this release, newly generated WASM state transition
functions are no longer compatible with old versions of the `fuel-core`.
So, the change breaks forward compatibility for the network and each
node should start to use a new `fuel-core` release.
- [2943](#2943): Registry root
calculation for compression tables no longer accounts for the evictor
cache.
- [2947](#2947): Upgrade to
2024 Rust edition.
- [2958](#2958): Changed
return type of `balance` endpoint from `u64` to `u128`
- [3002](#3002): Update
`fuel-vm` to `0.61.1`. In doing this, we've changed Receipts to use the
`SubId` scalar type for sub asset IDs.

### Added
- [2954](#2954): Made
`registry` mod public in `fuel-core-compression`
- [2956](#2956): Add
excluded_contract filter to extract of transaction from TxPool.
- [2994](#2994): Simple
makefile with basic commands.
- [3004](#3004): Additional
error logs for Ethereum provider failures.

### Changed
- [3021](#3021): Updated
fuel-vm to 0.62.0, see
https://github.com/fuelLabs/fuel-vm/releases/v0.62.0

### Fixed
- [2969](#2969): Ensure that
vm heap memory is zeroed out on rellocation after `reset`. Adds support
for `GM::GetGasPrice` Bumps `fuel-vm` to `0.60.2`.
- [2984](#2984): Fix client
coins endpoint so that passing `None` for `asset_id` no longer defaults
to `AssetId::default()` but correctly returns all asset types.
- [2987](#2987): Make txpool
pre-conf broadcast conditional on there being some txs in the list
- [2989](#2989): Prevent
syncing compression database from genesis if override cli arg
`--da-compression-starting-height` is provided.
- [2992](#2992): Make sure
assemble tx doesn't count message data inputs as spendable inputs for
covering fee
- [2993](#2993): Pin the
graphiql playground to v3, and cache the result to be reused across
multiple calls to render the playground.

### Removed
- [2955](#2955): Remove
unnecessary lifetime constraints on fuel-core-client.
