fix(quorum/api): contract deploy uses gas estimate

Instead of hardcoding guesses regarding what the CI
environment will produce as a gas price for the contract
deployment be pro-active, ask for a quote and then offer to
spend the quote + a million gas to be on the safe side. This
should guarantee that there will be enough gas unless there's a
bug in the underlying network (which has happened in the past,
quorum had a gas bug where it was asking for more than the
maximum possible gas).

Also downgraded quorum to v2.2.5 because that is considered
stabl while 2.3.0 is a beta release and therefore it is possible
that has issues with the gas estimates like previous versions did.

Changed the gas upper and lower bounds for blocks through the
newly introduced CLI flags of Quorum eth:
