produceBlockV3returnsexecution_payload_valuebutproduceBlockV4dropped it, which seems like an oversight/regression.There are validator clients (like vero/vouch) that query multiple beacon nodes and compare
consensus_block_value+execution_payload_valueto pick the most valuable block. For self-builds the value is otherwise unavailable since the bid value is zero.This PR re-adds the field and the
Eth-Execution-Payload-Valueresponse header to restore parity with v3.
