In the above PR, we enabled rayon for batch KZG verification in chain segment processing. However, using the global rayon thread pool for backfill is likely to create resource contention with higher-priority beacon processor work.
This PR introduces a dedicated low-priority rayon thread pool `LOW_PRIORITY_RAYON_POOL` and uses it for processing backfill chain segments.
This prevents backfill KZG verification from using the global rayon thread pool and competing with high-priority beacon processor tasks for CPU resources.
However, this PR by itself doesn't prevent CPU oversubscription because other tasks could still fill up the global rayon thread pool, and having an extra thread pool could make things worse. To address this we need the beacon
processor to coordinate total CPU allocation across all tasks, which is covered in:

Fix a memory leak in the reprocess queue.
If the vec of attestation IDs for a block is never evicted from the reprocess queue by a `BlockImported` event, then it stays in the map forever consuming memory. The fix is to remove the entry when its last attestation times out. We do similarly for light client updates.
In practice this will only occur if there is a race between adding an attestation to the queue and processing the `BlockImported` event, or if there are attestations for block roots that we never import (e.g. random block roots, block roots of invalid blocks).

If we're three seconds into the current slot just trigger reconstruction. I don't know what the correct reconstruction deadline number is, but it should probably be at least half a second before the attestation deadline

This PR removes the reprocess event channel from being externally exposed. All work events are now sent through the single `BeaconProcessorSend` channel. I've introduced a new `Work::Reprocess` enum variant which we then use to schedule jobs for reprocess. I've also created a new scheduler module which will eventually house the different scheduler impls.
This is all needed as an initial step to generalize the beacon processor
A "full" implementation for the generalized beacon processor can be found here
https://github.com/sigp/lighthouse/pull/6448
I'm going to try to break up the full implementation into smaller PR's so it can actually be reviewed
