On ELECTRA_FORK_EPOCH, PeerDAS is not yet activated, hence the current mechanism based on BlobSidecar is still in use. With EIP-7688, the generalized indices of BeaconBlockBody get reindexed, changing the length of the inclusion proof within the BlobSidecar. Because network Req/Resp operations allow responses across fork boundaries, this creates the need for a ForkedBlobSidecar in that layer, same as already done for ForkedSignedBeaconBock for similar reasons.

Note: This PR is only needed if PeerDAS is adopted after EIP-7688. If PeerDAS is adopted before EIP-7688, a similar PR may be needed for forked columns. Coincidental Forked jank can only be fully avoided if both features activate at the same epoch, actual changes to blobs aside. Delaying EIP-7688 for sole purpose of epoch alignemnt is not worth it.

On `ELECTRA_FORK_EPOCH`, PeerDAS is not yet activated, hence the current
mechanism based on `BlobSidecar` is still in use. With EIP-7688, the
generalized indices of `BeaconBlockBody` get reindexed, changing the
length of the inclusion proof within the `BlobSidecar`. Because network
Req/Resp operations allow responses across fork boundaries, this creates
the need for a `ForkedBlobSidecar` in that layer, same as already done
for `ForkedSignedBeaconBock` for similar reasons.

Note: This PR is only needed if PeerDAS is adopted _after_ EIP-7688.
