The use of nested `awaitWithRetries` calls would have
resulted in an unexpected number of retries (3x3).
We now use regular `await` in outer layer to avoid the problem.

The new code has an invariant that the `headMerkleizer` field in
the `Eth1Chain` is always kept in sync with the blocks stored in
the chain.
This invariant is now enforced better by doing the necessary merkleizer updates
in the `Eth1Chain.addBlock` function, in the `Eth1Chain.init` function and in the
`Eth1Chain.reset` function.
