Manu NALEPA 49e1763ec2 Data columns cache warmup: Parallelize computation of all files for a given epoch. (#16207)
**What type of PR is this?**

**What does this PR do? Why is it needed?**
Before this PR, all `.sszs` files containing the data column sidecars
were read an process sequentially, taking some time.
After this PR, every `.sszs` files of a given epoch (so, up to 32 files
with the current `SLOT_PER_EPOCHS` value) are processed in parallel.
