There are certain crates which we re-export within `types` which creates a fragmented DevEx, where there are various ways to import the same crates.
```rust
// consensus/types/src/lib.rs
pub use bls::{
AggregatePublicKey, AggregateSignature, Error as BlsError, Keypair, PUBLIC_KEY_BYTES_LEN,
PublicKey, PublicKeyBytes, SIGNATURE_BYTES_LEN, SecretKey, Signature, SignatureBytes,
get_withdrawal_credentials,
};
pub use context_deserialize::{ContextDeserialize, context_deserialize};
pub use fixed_bytes::FixedBytesExtended;
pub use milhouse::{self, List, Vector};
pub use ssz_types::{BitList, BitVector, FixedVector, VariableList, typenum, typenum::Unsigned};
pub use superstruct::superstruct;
```
This PR removes these re-exports and makes it explicit that these types are imported from a non-`consensus/types` crate.

## Issue Addressed
Synchronize dependencies and edition on the workspace `Cargo.toml`
## Proposed Changes
with https://github.com/rust-lang/cargo/issues/8415 merged it's now possible to synchronize details on the workspace `Cargo.toml` like the metadata and dependencies.
By only having dependencies that are shared between multiple crates aligned on the workspace `Cargo.toml` it's easier to not miss duplicate versions of the same dependency and therefore ease on the compile times.
## Additional Info
this PR also removes the no longer required direct dependency of the `serde_derive` crate.
should be reviewed after https://github.com/sigp/lighthouse/pull/4639 get's merged.

## Issue Addressed
Closes#4185
## Proposed Changes
- Set user agent to `Lighthouse/vX.Y.Z-<commit hash>` by default
- Allow tweaking user agent via `--builder-user-agent "agent"`
## Issue Addressed
Recent discussions with other client devs about optimistic sync have revealed a conceptual issue with the optimisation implemented in #3738. In designing that feature I failed to consider that the execution node checks the `blockHash` of the execution payload before responding with `SYNCING`, and that omitting this check entirely results in a degradation of the full node's validation. A node omitting the `blockHash` checks could be tricked by a supermajority of validators into following an invalid chain, something which is ordinarily impossible.
## Proposed Changes
I've added verification of the `payload.block_hash` in Lighthouse. In case of failure we log a warning and fall back to verifying the payload with the execution client.
I've used our existing dependency on `ethers_core` for RLP support, and a new dependency on Parity's `triehash` crate for the Merkle patricia trie. Although the `triehash` crate is currently unmaintained it seems like our best option at the moment (it is also used by Reth, and requires vastly less boilerplate than Parity's generic `trie-root` library).
Block hash verification is pretty quick, about 500us per block on my machine (mainnet).
The optimistic finalized sync feature can be disabled using `--disable-optimistic-finalized-sync` which forces full verification with the EL.
## Additional Info
This PR also introduces a new dependency on our [`metastruct`](https://github.com/sigp/metastruct) library, which was perfectly suited to the RLP serialization method. There will likely be changes as `metastruct` grows, but I think this is a good way to start dogfooding it.
I took inspiration from some Parity and Reth code while writing this, and have preserved the relevant license headers on the files containing code that was copied and modified.
## Issue Addressed
This PR is a subset of the changes in #3134. Unstable will still not function correctly with the new builder spec once this is merged, #3134 should be used on testnets
## Proposed Changes
- Removes redundancy in "builders" (servers implementing the builder spec)
- Renames `payload-builder` flag to `builder`
- Moves from old builder RPC API to new HTTP API, but does not implement the validator registration API (implemented in https://github.com/sigp/lighthouse/pull/3194)
