Tagging @maurelian and @smartcontracts for review.

@maurelian can you provide a high level description of OPCM Upgrade testing we would be conducting on this testnet?

[maurelian]

@zhwrd OPCM upgrade testing would need to happen against a holocene betanet, which we've agree will come a week after this devnet.

[maurelian]

I would just edit the issue if I could but I'd modify it thusly:

OPCM Upgrades

- Adds updates to the L1 contracts to support upgrades via the OPCM.

Testing plan

- Smoke testing: ensure the system is deployable via `op-deployer`.

(Actual upgrade testing will occur in the forthcoming alphanet/betanet which starts as Holocene and will be upgraded to Isthmus).
