Pawan Dhananjay 84ec209eba Allow AwaitingDownload to be a valid in-between state (#7984)
N/A


  Extracts (3) from https://github.com/sigp/lighthouse/pull/7946.

Prior to peerdas, a batch should never have been in `AwaitingDownload` state because we immediataly try to move from `AwaitingDownload` to `Downloading` state by sending batches. This was always possible as long as we had peers in the `SyncingChain` in the pre-peerdas world.

However, this is no longer the case as a batch can be stuck waiting in `AwaitingDownload` state if we have no peers to request the columns from. This PR makes `AwaitingDownload` to be an allowable in between state. If a batch is found to be in this state, then we attempt to send the batch instead of erroring like before.
Note to reviewer: We need to make sure that this doesn't lead to a bunch of batches stuck in `AwaitingDownload` state if the chain can be progressed.

Backfill already retries all batches in AwaitingDownload state so we just need to make `AwaitingDownload` a valid state during processing and validation.

This PR explicitly adds the same logic for forward sync to download batches stuck in `AwaitingDownload`.
Apart from that, we also force download of the `processing_target` when sync stops progressing. This is required in cases where `self.batches` has > `BATCH_BUFFER_SIZE` batches that are waiting to get processed but the `processing_batch` has repeatedly failed at download/processing stage. This leads to sync getting stuck and never recovering.
