• MSRV Bump: The Minimum Supported Rust Version (MSRV) is increased to 1.91 due to the alloy update.
• Dependency Changes: Several dependencies in Cargo.lock and Cargo.toml are updated to align with the new alloy version, including alloy-chains, alloy-primitives, and others.

Code Review

This pull request updates the alloy dependency to a patched version from a git repository to fix a bug with uploading codes related to max_fee_per_blob_gas. This also involves updating the MSRV to 1.91 and adjusting several other dependencies in Cargo.lock.

The approach of using a git dependency is a valid temporary solution. However, the way it's implemented can be improved for better maintainability. I've left a comment suggesting how to centralize the patch configuration in the root Cargo.toml, which would make the setup cleaner and easier to manage in the long run. It's also a good practice to add a TODO comment to remind developers to switch back to the crates.io version once the patch is released.
