Closes #5427

Summary of changes:

  • Generalize state-dependent proofs
  • Check for signals.
  • Store pending and finalized epoch changes in the light client's header chain.
  • Separate EngineClient from BlockChainClient and implement EngineClient for light client.
  • Fetch and check epoch change proofs from the network on demand during light sync.

just a note: the only proof that the light client actually needs to go to the network for is when the transition to the contract first begins. Transitions within the contract just require receipts to be fetched.

No, the most recent version of the code instantiates this key if it doesn't exist already. Only chains which don't use epochs can be synced by the light client right now anyway. When running the new version, their genesis epoch data will be populated correctly.
