PeerDAS has undergone multiple refactors + the blending with the get_blobs optimization has generated technical debt.
A function signature like this
f008b84079/beacon_node/beacon_chain/src/beacon_chain.rs (L7171-L7178)
Allows at least the following combination of states:
- blobs: Some / None
- data_columns: Some / None
- data_column_recv: Some / None
- Block has data? Yes / No
- Block post-PeerDAS? Yes / No
In reality, we don't have that many possible states, only:
- `NoData`: pre-deneb, pre-PeerDAS with 0 blobs or post-PeerDAS with 0 blobs
- `Blobs(BlobSidecarList<E>)`: post-Deneb pre-PeerDAS with > 0 blobs
- `DataColumns(DataColumnSidecarList<E>)`: post-PeerDAS with > 0 blobs
- `DataColumnsRecv(oneshot::Receiver<DataColumnSidecarList<E>>)`: post-PeerDAS with > 0 blobs, but we obtained the columns via reconstruction
^ this are the variants of the new `AvailableBlockData` enum
So we go from 2^5 states to 4 well-defined. Downstream code benefits nicely from this clarity and I think it makes the whole feature much more maintainable.
Currently `is_available` returns a bool, and then we construct the available block in `make_available`. In a way the availability condition is duplicated in both functions. Instead, this PR constructs `AvailableBlockData` in `is_available` so the availability conditions are written once
```rust
if let Some(block_data) = is_available(..) {
let available_block = make_available(block_data);
}
```
