/**
 * BlockInputSync is a class that handles ReqResp to find blocks and data related to a specific blockRoot.  The
 * blockRoot may have been found via object gossip, or the API.  Gossip objects that can trigger a search are block,
 * blobs, columns, attestations, etc.  In the case of blocks and data this is generally during the current slot but
 * can also be for items that are received late but are not fully verified and thus not in fork-choice (old blocks on
 * an unknown fork). It can also be triggered via an attestation (or sync committee message or any other item that
 * gets gossiped) that references a blockRoot that is not in fork-choice.  In rare (and realistically should not happen)
 * situations it can get triggered via the API when the validator attempts to publish a block, attestation, aggregate
 * and proof or a sync committee contribution that has unknown information included (parentRoot for instance).
 *
 * The goal of the class is to make sure that all information that is necessary for import into fork-choice is pulled
 * from peers so that the block and data can be processed, and thus the object that triggered the search can be
 * referenced and validated.
 *
 * The most common case for this search is a set of block/data that comes across gossip for the current slot, during
 * normal chain operation, but not everything was received before the gossip cutoff window happens so it is necessary
 * to pull remaining data via req/resp so that fork-choice can be updated prior to making an attestation for the
 * current slot.
