Subject: [PATCH] Fix sync committee polling for 0 validators (#2999)

## Issue Addressed

#2953

## Proposed Changes

Adds empty local validator check.

## Additional Info

Two other options:
- add check inside `local_index` collection. Instead of after collection.
- Move `local_index` collection to the beginning of the `poll_sync_committee_duties` function and combine sync committee with altair fork check.
