`beacon-chain-tests` is now regularly taking 1h+ on CI since Fulu fork was added.
This PR attemtpts to reduce the test time by bringing down the number of blobs generated in tests - instead of generating 0..max_blobs, the generator now generates 0..1 blobs by default, and this can be modified by setting `harness.execution_block_generator.set_min_blob_count(n)`.
Note: The blobs are pre-generated and doesn't require too much CPU to generate however processing a larger number of them on the beacon chain does take a lot of time.
This PR also include a few other small improvements
- Our slowest test (`chain_segment_varying_chunk_size`) runs 3x faster in Fulu just by reusing chain segments
- Avoid re-running fork specific tests on all forks
- Fix a bunch of tests that depends on the harness's existing random blob generation, which is fragile
beacon chain test time on test machine is **~2x** faster:
### `unstable`
```
Summary [ 751.586s] 291 tests run: 291 passed (13 slow), 0 skipped
```
### this branch
```
Summary [ 373.792s] 291 tests run: 291 passed (2 slow), 0 skipped
```
The next set of tests to optimise is the ones that use [`get_chain_segment`](77a9af96de/beacon_node/beacon_chain/tests/block_verification.rs (L45)), as it by default build 320 blocks with supernode - an easy optimisation would be to build these blocks with cgc = 8 for tests that only require fullnodes.

Adds the required boilerplate code for the Gloas (Glamsterdam) hard fork. This allows PRs testing Gloas-candidate features to test fork transition.
