feat(primitives): move header validation methods from consensus to primitive

[tcoratger]

Describe the feature

At the moment, in this file:

https://github.com/paradigmxyz/reth/blob/2a9fa4869e658ca89e050d0d985a7ccbfa360bfa/crates/consensus/common/src/validation.rs

we have a lot of header validation methods like this one:

https://github.com/paradigmxyz/reth/blob/2a9fa4869e658ca89e050d0d985a7ccbfa360bfa/crates/consensus/common/src/validation.rs#L14-L24

I have the impression that rather than keeping these methods here, it would make more sense to integrate them into the SealedHeader implementation with a specific error type HeaderConsensusError which would group together all possible errors when validating the sealed headers and which would then be passed transparently to the ConsensusError.

This would make it possible to make the implementation more structural and to use:

header.validate_gas();

for example.
