Removed unused fields difficulty and block_blob_gas_used from Environment in crates/vm/levm/src/environment.rs , and stopped populating them in:
Reason: These fields are never read in opcode handlers or hooks. Post-merge execution uses prev_randao (EIP-4399) instead of difficulty. Blob fee logic relies on block_excess_blob_gas and per-tx fields; blob_gas_used is only relevant at block validation, not EVM runtime. This reduces cognitive load and avoids unnecessary environment initialization without changing execution semantics.
