Consolidate block type for block processing (#2325)
This PR consolidates the split header-body sequences into a single EthBlock
sequence and cleans up the fallout from that which significantly reduces
block processing overhead during import thanks to less garbage collection
and fewer copies of things all around.

Notably, since the number of headers must always match the number of bodies,
we also get rid of a pointless degree of freedom that in the future could
introduce unnecessary bugs.

* only read header and body from era file
* avoid several unnecessary copies along the block processing way
* simplify signatures, cleaning up unused arguemnts and returns
* use `stew/assign2` in a few strategic places where the generated
  nim assignent is slow and add a few `move` to work around poor
  analysis in nim 1.6 (will need to be revisited for 2.0)
