Description

Currently, constant-only hardforks (aka glacier and BPO forks) are full forks with their own directory in `src/ethereum/forks/...`, and they have special privileges as far as code coverage and `ethereum-spec-lint` go.

@petertdavies wondered whether these forks deserve a full copy of the code, and should instead be replaced with a table somewhere.
