Introduce `get_lc_beacon_slot` and `get_lc_beacon_root` accessors
similar to `get_current_slot(state)` to account for future extensions
to the light client header structure that may override how those fields
are accessed. Idea is to extend with execution accessors in the future.
While the light client sync protocol currently provides access to the
latest `BeaconBlockHeader`, obtaining the matching execution data needs
workarounds such as downloading the full block.

Having ready access to the EL state root simplifies use cases that need
a way to cross-check `eth_getProof` responses against LC data.

Access to `block_hash` unlocks scenarios where a CL light client drives
an EL without `engine_newPayload`. As of Altair, only the CL beacon
block root is available, but the EL block hash is needed for engine API.

Other fields in the `ExecutionPayloadHeader` such as `logs_bloom` may
allow light client applications to monitor blocks for local interest,
e.g. for transfers affecting a certain wallet. This enables to download
only the few relevant blocks instead of every single one.

A new `LightClientStore` is proposed into the Capella spec that may be
used to sync LC data that includes execution data. Existing pre-Capella
LC data will remain as is, but can be locally upgraded before feeding it
into the new `LightClientStore` so that light clients do not need to run
a potentially expensive fork transition at a specific time. This enables
the `LightClientStore` to be upgraded at a use case dependent timing at
any time before Capella hits. Smart contract and embedded deployments
benefit from reduced code size and do not need synchronization with the
beacon chain clock to perform the Capella fork.

Updates the EL block hash computation for pytests to match latest spec.
Notably, use `Gwei` for `Withdrawal` amount consistently.
Also fix `excess_data_gas` not being correctly accounted for.
