Don't request block components until having block #5774

Issue Addressed

Current stable when creating a new block lookup for block_root will:

  • Request block
  • Request all possible blobs for block_root before knowing if the block has blobs and how many

This optimistic / blind request forces us to handle the case where we have processed blobs + blocks and turns out that the blob peer did not return enough blobs.

By delaying fetching blobs until we get the block we can be sure to:

  • request blobs only when block has data
  • know exactly how many blobs we expect and penalize the peer immediately if it returns less blobs than expected

Proposed Changes

  • Update ActiveBlobsByRootRequest to expect peer to return exactly the number of requested blobs. Else error with NotEnoughResponsesReturned
  • If AvailabilityProcessingStatus::MissingComponents && both_components_processed == true hard error as an internal error. The condition above should ensure that this never happens
  • To cover the case of single_block_response_then_too_many_blobs_response_attestation the sync network context can produce multiple return values for a single request. In the test case it produces: (1) Some(blobs), (2) Err(TooManyResponses). However block lookup mod expects a single result, so we track if the request has been resolved (= a result value has been returned). If resolved, downscore but do not forward the result

Can't respond blobs first, same for too_many_blobs_response_then_block_response_attestation
