-Instead of enumerating every possible era, we use two constructors:
-'CurrentEra' and 'UpcomingEra'. This design simplifies the handling
-of eras, especially for 'cardano-api' consumers who are primarily concerned
-with the current mainnet era and the next era for an upcoming hardfork.
-
-Usage:
-- 'CurrentEra': Reflects the era currently active on mainnet.
-- 'UpcomingEra': Represents the era planned for the next hardfork.
-
-After a hardfork, 'cardano-api' should be updated promptly to reflect
-the new mainnet era in 'CurrentEra'.
