feat: Delete EVM instance in AnteHandler (cosmos#352)

* test: adjusts GasTipCap to equal GasFeeCap when it exceeds the maximum fee cap

* ensures adequate fees for bank msg send

* Optimize CanTransfer AnteHandler

* refactor(antehandler): remove stateDB allocation

* chore: replace GlobalEVMMempool by passing to JSONRPC on initiate (cosmos#467)

* chore: ensure SetGlobalEVMMempool is thread-safe and only set once

keep singleton behavior on concurrent initialization

* doc

* keep reset

* pass in mempool

* cleanup

 ### IMPROVEMENTS
 
+- [\#352](https://github.com/cosmos/evm/pull/352) Remove the creation of a Geth EVM instance, stateDB during the AnteHandler balance check.
 - [\#467](https://github.com/cosmos/evm/pull/467) Ensure SetGlobalEVMMempool is thread-safe and only sets global mempool instance once.
