Proposed Changes

This PR moves the scheduling logic for the BeaconProcessor into a new crate in beacon_node/beacon_processor. Previously it existed in the beacon_node/network crate.

This addresses a circular-dependency problem where it's not possible to use the BeaconProcessor from the beacon_chain crate. The network crate depends on the beacon_chain crate (network -> beacon_chain), but importing the BeaconProcessor into the beacon_chain crate would create a circular dependancy of beacon_chain -> network.

The BeaconProcessor was designed to provide queuing and prioritized scheduling for messages from the network. It has proven to be quite valuable and I believe we'd make Lighthouse more stable and effective by using it elsewhere. In particular, I think we should use the BeaconProcessor for:

  1. HTTP API requests.
  2. Scheduled tasks in the BeaconChain (e.g., state advance).

Using the BeaconProcessor for these tasks would help prevent the BN from becoming overwhelmed (by using bounded queues) and would also help it to prioritize operations (e.g., choosing to process blocks from gossip before responding to low-priority HTTP API requests).

Additional Info

This PR is intended to have zero impact on runtime behaviour. It aims to simply separate the scheduling code (i.e., the BeaconProcessor) from the business logic in the network crate (i.e., the Worker impls). Future PRs can build upon these works to actually use the BeaconProcessor for more operations.

I did a little refactoring in the ClientBuilder since passing channels between the BeaconProcessor and network components is a little more complex now. Ultimately, I think these changes bring the ClientBuilder closer to a true builder pattern, when all the actual work happens in fn build.

I had to lift some types from the network crate to the lighthouse_network crate so they could be shared between the network and new beacon_processor crate without a circular dep.

Closed in favor of #4435. It is the same, but has a smaller diff due to some history curation.

## Proposed Changes

This PR moves the scheduling logic for the `BeaconProcessor` into a new crate in `beacon_node/beacon_processor`. Previously it existed in the `beacon_node/network` crate.

This addresses a circular-dependency problem where it's not possible to use the `BeaconProcessor` from the `beacon_chain` crate. The `network` crate depends on the `beacon_chain` crate (`network -> beacon_chain`), but importing the `BeaconProcessor` into the `beacon_chain` crate would create a circular dependancy of `beacon_chain -> network`.

The `BeaconProcessor` was designed to provide queuing and prioritized scheduling for messages from the network. It has proven to be quite valuable and I believe we'd make Lighthouse more stable and effective by using it elsewhere. In particular, I think we should use the `BeaconProcessor` for:

1. HTTP API requests.
1. Scheduled tasks in the `BeaconChain` (e.g., state advance).

Using the `BeaconProcessor` for these tasks would help prevent the BN from becoming overwhelmed and would also help it to prioritize operations (e.g., choosing to process blocks from gossip before responding to low-priority HTTP API requests).

## Additional Info

This PR is intended to have zero impact on runtime behaviour. It aims to simply separate the *scheduling* code (i.e., the `BeaconProcessor`) from the *business logic* in the `network` crate (i.e., the `Worker` impls). Future PRs (see #4462) can build upon these works to actually use the `BeaconProcessor` for more operations.

I've gone to some effort to use `git mv` to make the diff look more like "file was moved and modified" rather than "file was deleted and a new one added". This should reduce review burden and help maintain commit attribution.
