- Implemented many of Alex's comments including reinsertion of the
withdrawal index in the BeaconState
- Implemented Sean's suggestion of separating the logic for block
production so that one matches the list in the payload with what
`get_expected_withdrawals` returns
- Changed `get_expected_wihdrawals` to match the current behavior and
moved it to `beacon-chain.md`
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.
