Engine API specification for a new optional getBlobsV1 method.

The purpose of this method is to allow consensus clients to fetch blobs from EL blobs pool, so that:

  • It reduces the delay for a block to become available and attestable, if the blobs aren't received via gossip in a timely manner for some reasons.
  • Secondly it enables "decentralized blob building", which reduces the likelihood of a block getting orhpaned if the block proposer isn't able to publish the blobs quick enough due to bandwidth constraints (e.g. home stakers with limited bandwidth or stakers in remote locations). High capacity nodes can fetch blobs from their EL blob pools, build the blob sidecars and publish it to the network on behalf of the proposer. This will help self builders today (which statistically include a higher number of blobs in their blocks), and will become an important component to keep local block building viable for home stakers when blob count increases in the near future.
