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.
`remerkleable` was updated to address potentially incorrect computation
of `hash_tree_root` against default-initialized `Vector` objects.
Switching to the fixed version.
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.
Add more detailed LC object documentation to explain that the various
merkle proofs are relative to the beacon block's state root.
Likewise, clarify that sync committees relate to the finalized header
(not to the optimistic header, which can be a period ahead).
For LC gossip, the documentation did not specify what slot number to use
for deriving the gossip objects. This missing documentation is now added
to document using `attested_header.slot`.
