Motivation
Monad introduces system transactions executed at zero gas by the protocol.
These appear in the block as regular transactions but do not follow basefee rules.
Currently, Foundry tools (cast, --quick, etc.) treat these as normal transactions.
This causes:
• cast to fail with Error #1: transaction validation error: gas price is less than basefee
• --quick to fails when multiple system transactions exist in the same block, leading to nonce-too-high errors
Solution
Added MONAD_SYSTEM_ADDRESS and updated transaction handling to skip Monad system transactions, similar to how L2 system txs are ignored.
This prevents validation errors caused by 0-gas system transactions in cast.
