This PR adds a new `--beacon.checkpoint.file` config flag to geth and
blsync which specifies a checkpoint import/export file. If a file with
an existing checkpoint is specified, it is used for initialization
instead of the hardcoded one (except when `--beacon.checkpoint` is also
specified simultaneously). Whenever the client encounters a new valid
finality update with a suitable finalized beacon block root at an epoch
boundary, it saves the block root in hex format to the checkpoint file.
