In Gloas, beacon blocks are imported into fork choice immediately - the payload envelope and data columns arrive separately. KZG commitments moved from the column sidecar into the execution payload bid, so the existing `DataAvailabilityChecker` (which assumes block and data are coupled) can't be used for Gloas. * Introduced `PendingPayloadCache` to keep track of payload and data columns per block root. * Added gossip column verification * Added support for Gloas data column reconstruction * Payload envelope verification simplified: removed `MaybeAvailableEnvelope`, `ExecutedEnvelope`, `EnvelopeImportData` Not yet implemented (tracked with TODOs): - Proper lookup sync for Gloas columns arriving before blocks - Partial column merging for Gloas - Moving `load_gloas_payload_bid` disk reads off the async runtime - Backfill/range sync for Gloas Based on @eserilev's PR and work in progress. See also #9202 for verification.
