internal/ethapi: don't estimate gas if no limit provided in eth_createAccessList (#25467)

Because the goal of eth_createAccessList is providing the caller with the largest-possible
access list, it's generally not important that the gas limit used by the tracer will match the usage
of the call exactly. Avoiding the gas estimation step is a performance improvement. As long as the
call does not branch based on gas limit, the returned access list will be accurate.
