Introduction

This is the modification of the fork choice according to EIP-6914.

Fork choice

A new handler is added with this upgrade:

• on_reused_index(store, index) whenever a validator index index: ValidatorIndex is reused. That is, get_index_for_new_validator() provides an index due to a return value of True from is_reusable_validator().

This new handler is used to update the list of equivocating indices to be synchronized with the canonical chain.
