This commit changes the public API of the KZG library to the following high-level API:
```
- verify_kzg_proof()
- compute_aggregate_kzg_proof()
- verify_aggregate_kzg_proof()
- blob_to_kzg_commitment()
```
compared to the previous much more low-level API:
```
- compute_powers()
- matrix_lincomb()
- lincomb()
- bytes_to_bls_field()
- evaluate_polynomial_in_evaluation_form()
- verify_kzg_proof()
- compute_kzg_proof()
```
This means that all the cryptographic logic (including Fiat-Shamir) is now isolated and hidden in the KZG library and the `validator.md` file ends up being significantly simplified, only calling high-level KZG functions.
Some additional things that this commit does:
- Moves all EIP4844 cryptography into polynomial-commitments.md
- Improves the Fiat-Shamir stack by removing the need for SSZ and by introducing simple domain separators

Moving the `is_post_xxx` functions to a separate module allows `genesis`
to also use them (cyclic import from `context` prevented this before).
This allows removing `FORKS_BEFORE_ALTAIR` and `FORKS_BEFORE_BELLATRIX`
constants and adding a more general `is_post_fork` function that needs
less maintenance. This then allows definition of `with_all_phases_from`
to streamline the implementation of the `with_xxx_and_later` decorators.
Future light client tests will also incorporate execution payload data.
To avoid confusion, rename the current `root` check to `beacon_root`.
Doing this now, as #3066 already requires LC test runners to update.
Currently, `test_single_merkle_proof` only supports `BeaconState` tests.
For future tests, different object classes are desirable. Update format
to allow testing other objects as well.
