Some tests are currently restricted to a single phase using @with_phases
even though they could likely run unchanged in later phases. This patch
changes the default for such tests to also run in later phases. If the
beacon chain changes enough in later phases to break these tests, this
highlights that the tests need to be adjusted or extended accordingly.
Building merkle proofs is required functionality for implementing light
client sync. Although the spec currently only defines a function to
verify merkle proofs (`is_valid_merkle_branch`) there are still a few
PySpec unit tests that produce merkle proofs. This patch adds a new
generator to extract test vectors from those static unit tests, so that
light client implementations can validate their merkle proof logic.
