Add a new object to client configuration files blobSchedule which lists the
target blob count per block and max blob count per block for each fork.
Extend client configuration files with the object blobSchedule, which has the
following shape:
Clients must configure the target, max and baseFeeUpdateFraction per-fork. The behavior when the configuration is missing or incomplete for a fork is undefined. Clients are free to choose how to handle this situation.
Although maintaining the target and max blob only in the consensus client is
desirable, we acknowledge the reality that execution clients need these values
for various activities. For example, the eth_feeHistory RPC method returns a
field blobGasUsedRatio that does require the max, even though the core
protocol doesn't specifically need such value. Passing this value over the
engine API every block seem overkill so we believe a configuration value is a
good middle ground. Additionally, the baseFeeUpdateFraction parameter was added to adjust the responsiveness of blob gas pricing per fork.
