feat(beacon-network): add JSON-RPC endpoint to get the latest optimistic state root #1330

What was wrong?

To be able to validate some of the beacon contents, we want to access the latest known beacon state root from the light client module.

Current design in HeaderOracle relies on JSON-RPC requests for accessing the data from the overlay networks.

How was it fixed?

expose the beacon light client API to BeaconNetwork object
implement portal_beaconOptimisticStateRoot json-rpc endpoint

Here is a PR that proposes adding this endpoint to JSON-RPC specs: https://github.com/ethereum/portal-network-specs/pull/322
