* use `PayloadAttributesV3` in `nimbus_light_client` for Deneb
From Deneb onward, `forkchoiceUpdated` requires `PayloadAttributesV3`.
In `nimbus_light_client` we still used `PayloadAttributesV2`.
Also clean up two other locations that were already correctly using
`PayloadAttributesV3`, to reduce code duplication.
* fix letter case
* reorder gossip validation checks
Doing the coverage check only after the corresponding committee index is
known allows optimization by early rejecting invalid data.
* use same helper for individual attestations as well
When new finality is reached without supermajority sync committee
support, trigger another event push on beacon-API and libp2p once
the finality gains supermajority support.

In `v1.4.0-alpha.0`, the blob index validation on gossip was changed to
use `compute_subnet_for_blob_sidecar` instead of having a separate topic
for each individual blob. We updated the spec reference in #5363 without
updating the code accordingly. Fixing this now, and also adding the new
`MAX_BLOBS_PER_BLOCK` check from `v1.4.0-beta.3` as it shares the theme.
`v1.4.0-beta.4` made the Gossip rules more strict and now requires to
ignore blobs from other branches if there are equivocating blocks.
Those blobs are only requestable via Req/Resp.
Fix regression from #4808 where blobs that are already known are issued
ACCEPT verdict, propagating them to peers over and over again.
`validateBlobSidecar` contains the correct IGNORE logic. Moved it above
the expensive checks to retain the performance of the check.
Directly initialize `ForkedLightClientObj` instead of separately first
setting the `kind` (initializing everything to zero) and then assigning
the forky data after that.
For symmetry with `forkyState` when using `withState`, and to avoid
problems with shadowing of `blck` when using `withBlck` in `template`,
also rename the injected `blck` to `forkyBlck`.

Sync committee duties are performed by the sync committee as determined
by slot + 1. We did it correctly for individual messages, but selected
the incorrect participants for aggregate contributions for the very
first slot per period (roughly 1 per ~27 hrs on Mainnet). The faulty
participants selection code was originally introduced in #2925.
In Nim 2.0, attempting to use `Taskpool.spawn` inside `{.async.}` `proc`
leads to `Error: cannot generate destructor for generic type: Isolated`.
Add an intermediate wrapper `proc` that performs the `spawn` operation
to workaround the problem.
Add separate log topic for `block_processor` messages.
Topic named similar to the other `_processor` modules:
- `eth2_processor` --> `gossip_eth2`
- `light_client_processor` --> `gossip_lc`
- `optimistic_processor` --> `gossip_opt`
When a block is introduced to the system both via REST and gossip at the
same time, we will call `storeBlock` from two locations leading to a
dupliace check race condition as we wait for the EL.
This issue may manifest in particular when using an external block
builder that itself publishes the block onto the gossip network.
* refactor enqueue flow
* simplify calling `addBlock`
* complete request manager verifier future for blobless blocks
* re-verify parent conditions before adding block
among other things, it might have gone stale or finalized between one
call and the other
* async batch verification
When batch verification is done, the main thread is blocked reducing
concurrency.
With this PR, the new thread signalling primitive in chronos is used to
offload the full batch verification process to a separate thread
allowing the main threads to continue async operations while the other
threads verify signatures.
Similar to previous behavior, the number of ongoing batch verifications
is capped to prevent runaway resource usage.
In addition to the asynchronous processing, 3 addition changes help
drive throughput:
* A loop is used for batch accumulation: this prevents a stampede of
small batches in eager mode where both the eager and the scheduled batch
runner would pick batches off the queue, prematurely picking "fresh"
batches off the queue
* An additional small wait is introduced for small batches - this helps
create slightly larger batches which make better used of the increased
concurrency
* Up to 2 batches are scheduled to the threadpool during high pressure,
reducing startup latency for the threads
Together, these changes increase attestation verification throughput
under load up to 30%.
* fixup
* Update submodules
* fix blst build issues (and a PIC warning)
* bump

* Perform block pre-check before validating execution
When syncing, blocks have not been gossip-validated and are therefore
prone to trivial faults like being known-unviable, duplicate or missing
their parent.
In addition, the duplicate-block check in BlockProcessor was not
considering the quarantine flow and would therefore cause
recently-quarantined blocks to be silenty dropped when their parent
appears delaying the sync end-game and thus causing longer startup
resync time.
This PR verifies trivial conditions before performing execution
validation thus avoiding duplicates and missing parents alike.
It also ensures that the fast-sync EL mode is used for finalized blocks
even if the EL is timing out / slow to respond - this allows the CL to
complete its sync faster and switch to "normal" lock-step at the head of
the chain more quickly, thus also allowing the EL to access the latest
consensensus information earlier.
