N/A Currently, we have `EnvelopeError` having a `ImportError` wrapping a `BlockError`. I feel this is extremely unintuitive because most of the envelope processing functions can simply return an `EnvelopeError` that makes sense in the function's context. It revealed further ugliness when implementing range sync in #9362 This PR does 2 main things: 1. Removes `ImportError(BlockError)` variant 2. Adds `EnvelopeError(EnvelopeError)` variant to a `BlockError`. I feel this is more natural as there can be envelope errors when we try importing a Block but envelope errors can be contained to just envelope related errors. The main blocker to doing this was `PayloadVerificationHandle` returning a `BlockError`. It uses a very small subset of `BlockError` which I extracted to its own error type which can be converted into both a BlockError and EnvelopeError. This allows us to keep most of the pure envelope processing functions to just return EnvelopeErrors while we convert it to a `BlockError` only in import paths where we need to return a consolidated `BlockError`.
