The StartHeadListener method will only be called once. So it can't just make one attempt
to connect to the eventsource endpoint, it has to keep trying. Note that once the stream
is established, the eventsource implementation itself will keep retrying.
This adds support for the Deneb beacon chain fork, and fork handling
in general, to the beacon chain light client implementation.

Here we add a beacon chain light client for use by geth.
Geth can now be configured to run against a beacon chain API endpoint,
without pointing a CL to it. To set this up, use the `--beacon.api` flag. Information
provided by the beacon chain is verified, i.e. geth does not blindly trust the beacon
API endpoint in this mode. The root of trust are the beacon chain 'sync committees'.
The configured beacon API endpoint must provide light client data. At this time, only
Lodestar and Nimbus provide the necessary APIs.
There is also a standalone tool, cmd/blsync, which uses the beacon chain light client
to drive any EL implementation via its engine API.

GetPayloadVX should only return payloads which match its version. GetPayloadV2 is a special snowflake that supports v1 and v2 payloads. This change uses a a version-specific prefix within in the payload id, basically a namespace for the version number.
This change implements CommitteeChain which is a key component of the beacon light client. It is a passive data structure that can validate, hold and update a chain of beacon light sync committees and updates, starting from a checkpoint that proves the starting committee through a beacon block hash, header and corresponding state. Once synced to the current sync period, CommitteeChain can also validate signed beacon headers.
This PR makes EIP-4788 work in the engine API and miner. It also fixes some bugs related to
EIP-4844 block processing and mining. Changes in detail:
- Header.BeaconRoot has been renamed to ParentBeaconRoot.
- The engine API now implements forkchoiceUpdatedV3
- newPayloadV3 method has been updated with the parentBeaconBlockRoot parameter
- beacon root is now applied to new blocks in miner
- For EIP-4844, block creation now updates the blobGasUsed field of the header
This change implements "EIP 4788 : Beacon block root in the EVM". It implements version-2 of EPI-4788, main difference being that the contract is an actual contract rather than a precompile, as in #27289.
This is a spin-out from the EIP-4844 devnet branch, containing just the Engine API modifications
and nothing else. The newPayloadV3 endpoint won't really work in this version, but we need the
data structures for testing so I'd like to get this in early.

This ensures the "withdrawals" field will always be present in responses
to getPayloadBodiesByRangeV1 and getPayloadBodiesByHashV1.

The method `GetPayloadBodiesByRangeV1` now returns "-38004: Too large request" error if the requested range is too large, according to spec

This PR moves core/beacon to beacon/engine so that beacon-chain related code has its own top level package which also can house the the beacon lightclient-code.
