Adds support for the EVM version "Paris".

Deprecates `block.difficulty` and disallow `difficulty()` in inline assembly for EVM versions >= paris. The change is due to the renaming introduced by EIP-4399 (see: https://eips.ethereum.org/EIPS/eip-4399). Introduces `block.prevrandao` in Solidity and `prevrandao()` in inline assembly for EVM versions >= paris.

 Compiler Features:
 * Commandline Interface: Return exit code ``2`` on uncaught exceptions.
 * Commandline Interface: Add `--no-cbor-metadata` that skips CBOR metadata from getting appended at the end of the bytecode.
- * EVM: Basic support for the EVM version "Paris".
+ * EVM: Deprecate ``block.difficulty`` and disallow ``difficulty()`` in inline assembly for EVM versions >= paris. The change is due to the renaming introduced by [EIP-4399](https://eips.ethereum.org/EIPS/eip-4399).
+ * EVM: Introduce ``block.prevrandao`` in Solidity and ``prevrandao()`` in inline assembly for EVM versions >= paris.
+ * EVM: Support for the EVM version "Paris".
 * Natspec: Add event Natspec inheritance for devdoc.
 * Standard JSON: Add a boolean field `settings.metadata.appendCBOR` that skips CBOR metadata from getting appended at the end of the bytecode.
 * Yul EVM Code Transform: Generate more optimal code for user-defined functions that always terminate a transaction. No return labels will be pushed for calls to functions that always terminate.
