internal/ethapi: don't set sender-balance to maxuint, fixes #16999 (#20783)

Prior to this change, eth_call changed the balance of the sender account in the
EVM environment to 2^256 wei to cover the gas cost of the call execution.
We've had this behavior for a long time even though it's super confusing.

This commit sets the default call gasprice to zero instead of updating the balance,
which is better because it makes eth_call semantics less surprising. Removing
the built-in balance assignment also makes balance overrides work as expected.
