What does this PR do? Why is it needed?
Problem
During the Holesky incident, we saw a lot errors about attestation bitlists having different lengths.
Number of attestations in the pool growing over time
The above error results in the pool not removing old attestations:
Not being able to pack attestations into blocks
Other
Solution
It is currently not known how we can end up in a state where committee bits of attestations have different lengths. This PR attempts to reduce the severity of negative effects of being in such a state.
