Workaround for disallowed transaction superseding (#2181)

* Workaround for disallowed transaction superseding

The transaction spammer from Kurtosis keeps spamming transactions with
the same nonce because report 'pending' account nocne based on 'latest'
rather than actually considering the mempool. To avoid errors from
rejecting those, disable the required gas price bump when replacing
a transaction with a new nonce.

* Lint

* Skip superseding negative test

# supports the 'pending' tag by incorporating pending transactions from the
# mempool when returning the current account nonce. Until that is fixed,
# we keep telling the transaction spammer that their nonce has not changed,
# and it keeps spamming transactions with the same nonce repeatedly.
# Note: When this is fixed, update `tests/test_txpool.nim` and
# re-enable the "Superseding txs with sender and nonce variants" test case.
