Speed up altair block processing 2x (#3115)
* Speed up altair block processing >2x

Like #3089, this PR drastially speeds up historical REST queries and
other long state replays.

* cache sync committee validator indices
* use ~80mb less memory for validator pubkey mappings
* batch-verify sync aggregate signature (fixes #2985)
* document sync committee hack with head block vs sync message block
* add batch signature verification failure tests
