fix: handle eth_gasEstimate reverts correctly to prevent potential process crash (#4056)

When updating to support the Merge hardfork code that handled eth_gasEstimate was refactored. A code block that previously "short circuited" the function no longer did, causing a JavaScript Promise to be fullfilled with a handled rejection, but then also an unhandled rejection. 🦡

We've fixed the short circuit code and added a test to prevent this from regressing in the future.
