PeerDAS: Batch columns verifications (#14559)

* `ColumnAlignsWithBlock`: Split lines.

* Data columns verifications: Batch

* Remove completely `DataColumnBatchVerifier`.

Only `DataColumnsVerifier` (with `s`) on columns remains.
It is the responsability of the function which receive the data column
(either by gossip, by range request or by root request) to verify the
data column wrt. corresponding checks.

* Fix Nishant's comment.

+### Deprecated
+
+- `/eth/v1alpha1/validator/activation/stream` grpc wait for activation stream is deprecated. [pr](https://github.com/prysmaticlabs/prysm/pull/14514)
+
+### Removed
+

+- Fixed an issue where the length check between block body KZG commitments and the existing cache from the database was incompatible.
+- Fix `--backfill-oldest-slot` handling - this flag was totally broken, the code would always backfill to the default slot [pr](https://github.com/prysmaticlabs/prysm/pull/14584)

+- Fix keymanager API so that get keys returns an empty response instead of a 500 error when using an unsupported keystore.
+- Small log imporvement, removing some redundant or duplicate logs
+- EIP7521 - Fixes withdrawal bug by accounting for pending partial withdrawals and deducting already withdrawn amounts from the sweep balance. [PR](https://github.com/prysmaticlabs/prysm/pull/14578)
+- unskip electra merkle spec test

+### Security
+
+## [v5.1.2](https://github.com/prysmaticlabs/prysm/compare/v5.1.1...v5.1.2) - 2024-10-16 
+
+This is a hotfix release with one change. 
+
+Prysm v5.1.1 contains an updated implementation of the beacon api streaming events endpoint. This
+new implementation contains a bug that can cause a panic in certain conditions. The issue is
+difficult to reproduce reliably and we are still trying to determine the root cause, but in the
+meantime we are issuing a patch that recovers from the panic to prevent the node from crashing.
+
+This only impacts the v5.1.1 release beacon api event stream endpoints. This endpoint is used by the
+prysm REST mode validator (a feature which requires the validator to be configured to use the beacon
+api intead of prysm's stock grpc endpoints) or accessory software that connects to the events api,
+like https://github.com/ethpandaops/ethereum-metrics-exporter
+
+### Fixed 
+
+- Recover from panics when writing the event stream [#14545](https://github.com/prysmaticlabs/prysm/pull/14545)
+
+## [v5.1.1](https://github.com/prysmaticlabs/prysm/compare/v5.1.0...v5.1.1) - 2024-10-15
+
+This release has a number of features and improvements. Most notably, the feature flag 
+`--enable-experimental-state` has been flipped to "opt out" via `--disable-experimental-state`. 
+The experimental state management design has shown significant improvements in memory usage at
+runtime. Updates to libp2p's gossipsub have some bandwidith stability improvements with support for
+IDONTWANT control messages. 
+
+The gRPC gateway has been deprecated from Prysm in this release. If you need JSON data, consider the
+standardized beacon-APIs. 
+
+Updating to this release is recommended at your convenience.
