This change simplifies the protocol and removes a race condition between block request and response. In the case of honest server, this helps serve the canonical / fork-chosen chain better while dishonest or broken servers still need to be handled the same way. Might as well get started on versions and upgrade it to 2, since the change is backwards incompatible.

This was discussed and agreed upon by all those on the lastest networking call. Specifically in addition to @arnetheduck (Nimbus), @AgeManning (lighthouse) agreed that the head root does not really help and in fact makes for coding some tough edge cases. Leaving this PR open until Monday for any additional input from other client teams |
