Compatibility issue with Hardhat

[jonathansmirnoff]

The last version of Hardhat uses the @nomicfoundation/hardhat-toolbox package. This package calls to the eth_estimateGas method to do the deployment. When Hardhat does the request, it uses two parameters: transaction and the block, but the node returns Method parameters invalid.
The RSK node doesn't support this request, generating incompatibility with hardhat.

Examples:

RSK Request (with error)

curl https://public-node.rsk.co \
    -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
    --data '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"eth_estimateGas","params":[{"to":"0x5fda30bb72b8dfe20e48a00dfc108d0915be9bb0","value":"0x1234"}, "latest"],"id":1}'

Ethereum Request

curl -d '{"id": 1, "method":"eth_estimateGas","params": [{"to":"0x5fda30bb72b8dfe20e48a00dfc108d0915be9bb0","value":"0x1234"}, "latest"]}' -X POST https://mainnet.infura.io/v3/API_KEY

RSK Request (working without the new argument)

curl https://public-node.rsk.co \
    -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
    --data '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"eth_estimateGas","params":[{"to":"0x5fda30bb72b8dfe20e48a00dfc108d0915be9bb0","value":"0x1234"}],"id":1}'
