The producer of `LightClientUpdate` structures usually does not know how
far the `LightClientStore` on the client side has advanced. Updates are
currently rejected when including a redundant `next_sync_committee` not
advancing the `LightClientStore`. Behaviour is changed to allow this.
- committee_index is used as an input to compute_subnet_for_attestation but it's not previously defined
- attestation.data.committee_index is incorrect, the field is "index"
When `state.finalized_checkpoint` references the genesis slot, it points
to an empty `root`, instead of the actual genesis block hash. This patch
updates the `LightClientUpdate` logic to allow including finality proofs
for genesis `finalized_checkpoint.root`, better supporting non-mainnet.
When including such a finality proof, the proof is for the empty `root`,
but `finalized_header` is kept zeroed out to signify this edge case.
The `fork_version` field in `LightClientUpdate` can be derived from the
`update.signature_slot` value by consulting the locally configured fork
schedule. The light client already needs access to the fork schedule to
determine the `GeneralizedIndex` values used for merkle proofs, and the
memory layouts of the structures (including `LightClientUpdate`). The
`fork_version` itself is network dependent and doesn't reveal that info.

* deprecate `BeaconBlocksByRange.step`
The `step` parameter has not seen much implementation in real life
clients which instead opt to request variations on a few epochs at a
time (instead of interleaving single blocks, entire epochs are
interleaved).
At the same time, supporting `step` on the server side brings several
complications: more complex bounds checking logic, more complex loading
of blocks from linear storage (which presumably stores all blocks and
not just certain increments).
This PR suggests that we deprecate the whole idea. Backwards
compatibility is kept by simply responding with a single block when
`step > 0` - this is allowed by the spec and should thus be handled
gracefully by requesting clients already, should there exist any that
use larger step counts.
Removing `step` now allows simplifying the EL-CL protocol for serving
execution data from the EL to avoid double storage.

* Ignore subset aggregates
When aggregates are propagated through the network, it is often the case
that a better aggregate has already been seen - in particular, this
happens when an aggregator has not been able to include itself in the
mesh and therefore publishes an aggregate with only its own
attestations.
This new ignore rule allows dropping all aggregates that are
(non-strict) subsets of aggregates that have already been seen on the
network. In particular, it does not mandate dropping aggregates where a
union of previous aggregates would cause it to become a subset).
The logic for allowing this is based on the premise that any aggregate
that has already been seen by a peer will also have been seen by its
neighbours - a subset aggregate (strict or not) brings no new value to
the aggregation algorithm, except in the extreme edge case where you
could combine several such sparse aggregates into a single, more dense
"combined" aggregate and thus use less block space.
Further, as a small benefit, computing the `hash_tree_root` of the full
aggregate is generally not done -however, `hash_tree_root(data)` is
already done for other purposes as this is used as index in the beacon
API.
