Add AttesterCache for attestation production (#2478)

## Issue Addressed

- Resolves #2169

## Proposed Changes

Adds the `AttesterCache` to allow validators to produce attestations for older slots. Presently, some arbitrary restrictions can force validators to receive an error when attesting to a slot earlier than the present one. This can cause attestation misses when there is excessive load on the validator client or time sync issues between the VC and BN.
