core/txpool, eth/catalyst: ensure gas tip retains current value upon rollback (#30495)

Here we move the method that drops all transactions by temporarily increasing the fee
into the TxPool itself. It's better to have it there because we can set it back to the
configured value afterwards. This resolves a TODO in the simulated backend.
