Pull request overview

Ensures deterministic emission order for state change hooks during StateDB finalisation, specifically for balance burn events related to post-selfdestruct transfers.

Changes:

• Adds a pre-pass to collect self-destructed addresses and sorts them to make hook invocation order deterministic.
• Refactors Finalise to explicitly short-circuit when no balance hook is registered.
• Introduces new imports (bytes, sort) to support deterministic ordering.
