Aligning Gas Limit with Transaction Size |

The Conflux block packaging process has two constraints – gas limit and transaction size limit. Within the existing constraints and gas planning, size-dominated transactions can use up the block's capacity at a lower cost than gas-dominated transactions.
This CIP aims to fix this misalignment by introducing an additional rule for transactions.
This CIP proposes a new rule: a transaction's gas limit should be no less than 100 times the byte size of its call data. Transactions not meeting this criterion will be deemed invalid, and blocks containing such transactions will also be considered invalid. This change aims to rectify the pricing imbalance, ensuring fair resource allocation and efficient block utilization within the Conflux network.
The Conflux protocol currently operates under constraints of a 30 million gas limit and a 300KB transaction size limit, which reveals an exchange rate between transaction data size and gas limit. pricing misalignment: 1 byte of transaction data equates to 100 gas.
However, current gas planning charges less than 100 gas per byte in transaction calldata. This discrepancy can lead to 'inscription'-like transactions, which record calldata without execution, occupying block capacity at a disproportionately lower cost.
At the given block height, transactions do not satisfy tx.gas_limit < tx.calldata * 100 will be regared invalid.
