Problem to be solved

Ethereum is eyeing to introduce withdrawals in next upgrade (shanghai). This introduces new block version named capella which introduces some new fields to BeaconBlockBody and ExecutionPayload. For more details refer.

Proposed solution

Add support for capella versioned beacon block wherever block version is considered across charon codebase.
Add relevant tests.

There is no announcement for specific date as when it will be live on goerli or gnosis, but client teams are under development currently. go-eth2-client has already added support. We can track shanghai upgrade planning here: https://github.com/ethereum/pm/issues/450.
