chore: verify fees refactor (#1496)

* chore: verify fees refactor

* adjust call structure in rest of repo after splitting up DeductTxCostsFromUserBalance

* adjust test logic after splitting DeductTxCostsFromUserBalance up

* remove outdated TODO

* address PR comments - remove import name for evm keeper

* remove misleading comment

* address review comments - only handover boolean instead of context

* remove TODO
