* Allow nodes with and without payload in forkchoice
This PR takes care of adding nodes to forkchoice that may or may not
have a corresponding payload. The rationale is as follows
- The node structure is kept almost the same as today.
- A zero payload hash is considered as if the node was empty (except for
the tree root)
- When inserting a node we check what the right parent node would be
depending on whether the parent had a payload or not.
- For pre-epbs forks all nodes are full, no logic changes except a new
steps to gather the parent hash that is needed for block insertion.
This PR had to change some core consensus types and interfaces.
- It removed the ROBlockEPBS interface and added the corresponding ePBS
fields to the ReadOnlyBeaconBlockBody
- It moved the setters and getters to epbs dedicated files.
It also added a checker for `IsParentFull` on forkchoice that simply
checks for the parent hash of the parent node.
