Motivation
As highlighted here #1943 (comment) when impersonating contracts, calls from the impersonated contract get rejected due to EIP-3607.
So it's required to remove the code first manually.
Solution
revm checks eip3607 by looking at the account's code hash, and rejects the call if it is not empty.
this temporarily sets the code hash of a contract to KECCAK_EMPTY so the revm check passes.
The downside of this is that this messes with revm internals and renders the contract's code unusable for the time the contract is impersonated, but the same happens when removing the code manually. So temporarily setting it to empty is less invasive
