Fix situation where BEEFY initial validator set could not be determined.
If state is unavailable at BEEFY genesis block to get initial validator set, get the info from header digests. For this, we need to walk back the chain starting from BEEFY genesis looking for the BEEFY digest announcing the active validator set for that respective session.
This commit fixes a silly bug where walking back the chain was stopped when reaching BEEFY genesis block, which is incorrect when BEEFY genesis is not session boundary block. When BEEFY genesis is set to some random block within a session, we need to walk back to the start of the session to see the validator set announcement.
Added regression test for this fix.
Fixes #1885
