Manual finalization endpoint (#7059)

* Load block roots from fork choice where possible to avoid loading state from disk when serving block by range requests.

* Check if the start slot is newer than finalization (`start_slot >= finalized_slot`), and use fork choice in that case.

* force finalization endpoint

* cleanup

* Remove ds store

* Don't import blocks that conflict with the split

* Disconnect and ban peer if we get blocks conflicting manual checkpoint

* immediately commit state to cold db

* revert

* Fix descent from split check

* Add safety check to checkpoint when doing manual finalization.
