Description
To ease the fee estimation of the smart contract, we should add an information during the contract parsing to determine the code complexity
So, the code complexity along with a complexity factor will determine the cost to execute a contract (+ trigger price)
Note, we should also take in consideration a recursive inspection, so the complexity of the inner layers would increase the top
complexity.
To do, we could leverage the `pre_walk/2` function to apply a cost for each operation being accumulated over the instructions.

Contributor guide
Research direction
Start in the contract-parsing path and inspect the pre_walk/2 function mentioned in the issue. Trace how operations and nested contract layers are represented, then determine how accumulated operation costs and recursive complexity should feed fee estimation and the trigger price. Done means parsing exposes a complexity value and factor that account for inner layers.
