For EIP-1559 evm transactions, users can set priority fee apart from the base_fee. Per EVM spec, priority is fee is given to block author and base_fee is burned as expected.
For AutoEvm, we do not have a block author on EVM and as a result, the fee is deposited to Zero EVM account instead of burning the fees.
This PR handles the case when there is a Priority fee, we instead just burn it along with base_fee and give the fees to operators on consensus chain.
