feat!: RulesHooks.CanCreateContract() accepts and returns gas (#28)

* refactor!: `RulesHooks.CanCreateContract()` via `defer`

`TestCanCreateContract` is unchanged and merely moved to the appropriate file.

* feat!: `RulesHooks.CanCreateContract()` accepts and returns gas

* chore: move `TestCanCreateContract` to original file

Simplifies code review

* chore: pacify linter

* refactor!: revert to non-deferred call (not at start)
