Addresses issue #9220 The `payload_attestation_data` endpoint returns 400 when no block has been received for the requested slot. This causes the VC to log at CRIT level for what is expected behaviour per spec: validators should simply not submit a payload attestation when no block has been seen. - Return 404 (Not Found) instead of 400 from `payload_attestation_data` when no block exists for the slot. This is consistent with other beacon api endpoints. - Downgrade the VC log from `crit` to `debug` when a 503 is received, since this is an expected no-op per spec. - Add `BlockNotFound` rejection type to `warp_utils`. - Add a test asserting the 404 response for an empty slot.
