The `fork_version` field in `LightClientUpdate` can be derived from the `update.signature_slot` value by consulting the locally configured fork schedule. The light client already needs access to the fork schedule to determine the `GeneralizedIndex` values used for merkle proofs, and the memory layouts of the structures (including `LightClientUpdate`). The `fork_version` itself is network dependent and doesn't reveal that info.
