86fe93ca96 Add functions for deriving light client data
Adds `create_light_client_bootstrap` and `create_light_client_update`
functions as a reference implementation for serving light client data.
This also enables a new test harness to verify that light client data
gets applied to a `LightClientStore` as expected.

c4dbd241ac Root next_sync_committee in attested_header
`LightClientUpdate` structures currently use different merkle proof root
depending on the presence of `finalized_header`. By always rooting it in
the same state (the `attested_header.state_root`), logic gets simpler.

Caveats:
- In periods of extended non-finality, `update.finalized_header` may now
  be outdated by several sync committee periods. The old implementation
  rejected such updates as the `next_sync_committee` in them was stale,
  but the new implementation can properly handle this case.
- The `next_sync_committee` can no longer be considered finalized based
  on `is_finality_update`. Instead, waiting until `finalized_header` is
  in the `attested_header`'s sync committee period is now necessary.
- Because `update.finalized_header > store.finalized_header` no longer
  holds (for updates with finality), an `is_better_update` helper is
  added to improve `best_valid_update` tracking (in the past, finalized
  updates with supermajority participation would always directly apply)
