Closes: - #7865 - #7855 Changes extracted from earlier PR #7876 This PR fixes two main things with a few other improvements mentioned below: - Prevent Lighthouse from repeatedly sending `DataColumnByRoot` requests to an unsynced peer, causing lookup sync to get stuck - Allows Lighthouse to send discovery requests if there isn't enough **synced** peers in the required sampling subnets - this fixes the stuck sync scenario where there isn't enough usable peers in sampling subnet but no discovery is attempted. - Make peer discovery queries if custody subnet peer count drops below the minimum threshold - Update peer pruning logic to prioritise uniform distribution across all data column subnets and avoid pruning sampling peers if the count is below the target threshold (2) - Check sync status when making discovery requests, to make sure we don't ignore requests if there isn't enough synced peers in the required sampling subnets - Optimise some of the `PeerDB` functions checking custody peers - Only send lookup requests to peers that are synced or advanced
