use `ForkedLightClientStore` internally (#4512)
When running `nimbus_light_client`, we persist the latest header from
`LightClientStore.finalized_header` in a database across restarts.
Because the data format is derived from the latest `LightClientStore`,
this could lead to data being persisted in pre-release formats.

To enable us to test later `LightClientStore` versions on devnets,
transition to a `ForkedLightClientStore` internally that is only
migrated to newer forks on-demand (instead of starting at latest).

LC data fork cleanup (#4506)
Distinguish between those code locations that need to be updated on each
light client data format change, and those others that should generally
be fine, as long as a valid light client object is processed.

The former are tagged with static assert for `LightClientDataFork.high`.

The latter are changed to `lcDataFork > LightClientDataFork.None` to
indicate that they depend only on presence of any valid object.
Also bundled a few minor cleanups and fixes.

Also add `Forky` type for `LightClientStore` and minor fixes / cleanups.

add `LightClientHeader` wrapper (#4481)
The light client data structures were changed to accommodate additional
fields in future forks (e.g., to also hold execution data).

There is a minor change to the JSON serialization, where the `header`
properties are now nested inside a `LightClientHeader`.
The SSZ serialization remains compatible.

rm optimistic candidate block check from LC (#4131)
The optimistic candidate block check that only imports a new block into
the EL client if its parent block also had execution enabled is not
needed anymore, as mainnet has merged and the attack period is over.

accelerate EL sync with LC with `--sync-light-client` (#4041)
When the BN-embedded LC makes sync progress, pass the corresponding
execution block hash to the EL via `engine_forkchoiceUpdatedV1`.
This allows the EL to sync to wall slot while the chain DAG is behind.
Renamed `--light-client` to `--sync-light-client` for clarity, and
`--light-client-trusted-block-root` to `--trusted-block-root` for
consistency with `nimbus_light_client`.

Note that this does not work well in practice at this time:
- Geth sticks to the optimistic sync:
  "Ignoring payload while snap syncing" (when passing the LC head)
  "Forkchoice requested unknown head" (when updating to LC head)
- Nethermind syncs to LC head but does not report ancestors as VALID,
  so the main forward sync is still stuck in optimistic mode:
  "Pre-pivot block, ignored and returned Syncing"

To aid EL client teams in fixing those issues, having this available
as a hidden option is still useful.

reduce LC optsync latency (#4002)
The optimistic sync spec was updated since the LC based optsync module
was introduced. It is no longer necessary to wait for the justified
checkpoint to have execution enabled; instead, any block is okay to be
optimistically imported to the EL client, as long as its parent block
has execution enabled. Complex syncing logic has been removed, and the
LC optsync module will now follow gossip directly, reducing the latency
when using this module. Note that because this is now based on gossip
instead of using sync manager / request manager, that individual blocks
may be missed. However, EL clients should recover from this by fetching
missing blocks themselves.

add strict mode to light client processor (#3894)
The light client sync protocol employs heuristics to ensure it does not
become stuck during non-finality or low sync committee participation.
These can enable use cases that prefer availability of recent data
over security. For our syncing use case, though, security is preferred.
An option is added to light client processor to configure this tradeoff.

rename light client config parameters (#3740)
For consistency with other options, use a common prefix for light client
data configuration options.

* `--serve-light-client-data` --> `--light-client-data-serve`
* `--import-light-client-data` --> `--light-client-data-import-mode`

No deprecation of the old identifiers as they were only sparingly used
and all usage can be easily updated without interferance.

keep track of latest blocks for optimistic sync (#3715)
When launched with `--light-client-enable` the latest blocks are fetched
and optimistic candidate blocks are passed to a callback (log for now).
This helps accelerate syncing in the future (optimistic sync).

integrate light client into beacon node (#3557)
Adds a `LightClient` instance to the beacon node as preparation to
accelerate syncing in the future (optimistic sync).

- `--light-client-enable` turns on the feature
- `--light-client-trusted-block-root` configures block to start from

If no block root is configured, light client tracks DAG `finalizedHead`.
