I've been working at updating another library to latest Lighthouse and got very confused with RPC request Ids. There were types that had fields called `request_id` and `id`. And interchangeably could have types `PeerRequestId`, `rpc::RequestId`, `AppRequestId`, `api_types::RequestId` or even `Request.id`. I couldn't keep track of which Id was linked to what and what each type meant. So this PR mainly does a few things: - Changes the field naming to match the actual type. So any field that has an `AppRequestId` will be named `app_request_id` rather than `id` or `request_id` for example. - I simplified the types. I removed the two different `RequestId` types (one in Lighthouse_network the other in the rpc) and grouped them into one. It has one downside tho. I had to add a few unreachable lines of code in the beacon processor, which the extra type would prevent, but I feel like it might be worth it. Happy to add an extra type to avoid those few lines. - I also removed the concept of `PeerRequestId` which sometimes went alongside a `request_id`. There were times were had a `PeerRequest` and a `Request` being returned, both of which contain a `RequestId` so we had redundant information. I've simplified the logic by removing `PeerRequestId` and made a `ResponseId`. I think if you look at the code changes, it simplifies things a bit and removes the redundant extra info. I think with this PR things are a little bit easier to reasonable about what is going on with all these RPC Ids. NOTE: I did this with the help of AI, so probably should be checked
