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 protocol extensions may include data from the block
in addition to data from the state, e.g., `ExecutionPayloadHeader`.
To prepare for this, also pass the block to the corresponding functions.
In practice, blocks access is easier than historic state access, meaning
there are no practical limitations due to this change.
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.
