Release v0.28.0 (#1945)

## Version v0.28.0

### Changed
- [#1934](#1934): Updated
benchmark for the `aloc` opcode to be `DependentCost`. Updated
`vm_initialization` benchmark to exclude growing of memory(It is handled
by VM reuse).
- [#1916](#1916): Speed up
synchronisation of the blocks for the `fuel-core-sync` service.
- [#1888](#1888):
optimization: Reuse VM memory across executions.

#### Breaking

- [#1934](#1934): Changed
`GasCosts` endpoint to return `DependentCost` for the `aloc` opcode via
`alocDependentCost`.
- [#1934](#1934): Updated
default gas costs for the local testnet configuration. All opcodes
became cheaper.
- [#1924](#1924):
`dry_run_opt` has new `gas_price: Option<u64>` argument
- [#1888](#1888): Upgraded
`fuel-vm` to `0.51.0`. See
[release](https://github.com/FuelLabs/fuel-vm/releases/tag/v0.51.0) for
more information.

### Added
- [#1939](#1939): Added API
functions to open a RocksDB in different modes.
- [#1929](#1929): Added
support of customization of the state transition version in the
`ChainConfig`.

### Removed
- [#1913](#1913): Removed dead
code from the project.

### Fixed
- [#1921](#1921): Fixed
unstable `gossipsub_broadcast_tx_with_accept` test.
- [#1915](#1915): Fixed
reconnection issue in the dev cluster with AWS cluster.
- [#1914](#1914): Fixed
halting of the node during synchronization in PoA service.
