Subject: [PATCH] miner: restore GasUsed assignment in applyTransaction
 (#34082)

## Summary

- The BAL refactoring in 5808d212b removed the line `env.header.GasUsed
= env.gasPool.Used()` from `applyTransaction()`, causing all
geth-proposed blocks to have `GasUsed=0` in the header
- Every other client rejects these blocks during validation, so geth can
never successfully propose on the network
- Restores the single line that was present in upstream master

## Test plan

- [x] Verified line exists in upstream/master at miner/worker.go:409
- [x] Confirmed all 34 geth-proposed blocks on a 4-client devnet had
`GasUsed=0` via `debug_getBadBlocks` on besu
- [ ] Build local image and verify geth proposals are accepted in a
multi-client Kurtosis network
