chonghe 90dd5bb5d7 Refactor get_validator_blocks_v3 fallback (#8186)
#7727 introduced a bug in the logging, where as long as the node failed the SSZ `get_validator_blocks_v3` endpoint, it would log as `Beacon node does not support...`. However, the failure can be due to other reasons, such as a timed out error as found by @jimmygchen:

`WARN  Beacon node does not support SSZ in block production, falling back to JSON  slot: 5283379, error: HttpClient(url: https://ho-h-bn-cowl.spesi.io:15052/, kind: timeout, detail: operation timed out`


  This PR made the error log more generic, so there is less confusion.

Additionally, suggested by @michaelsproul, this PR refactors the `get_validator_blocks_v3` calls by trying all beacon nodes using the SSZ endpoint first, and if all beacon node fails the SSZ endpoint, only then fallback to JSON.

It changes the logic from:
"SSZ -> JSON for primary beacon node, followed by SSZ -> JSON for second beacon node and so on" to
"SSZ for all beacon nodes -> JSON for all beacon nodes"

This has the advantage that if the primary beacon node is having issues and failed the SSZ, we avoid retrying the primary beacon node again on JSON (as it could be that the primary beacon node fail again); rather, we switch to the second beacon node.
