Beacon chain state transition function

State transition is fundamentally modified in Gloas. The full state transition is broken in two parts, first importing a signed block and then importing an execution payload.

The post-state corresponding to a pre-state state and a signed beacon block signed_block is defined as state_transition(state, signed_block). State transitions that trigger an unhandled exception (e.g. a failed assert or an out-of-range list access) are considered invalid. State transitions that cause a uint64 overflow or underflow are also considered invalid.

The post-state corresponding to a pre-state state and a signed execution payload envelope signed_envelope is defined as process_execution_payload(state, signed_envelope, execution_engine). State transitions that trigger an unhandled exception (e.g. a failed assert or an out-of-range list access) are considered invalid. State transitions that cause an uint64 overflow or underflow are also considered invalid.
