Don't mark EL as offline if non-essential API call fails #3176

Description

If payload reconstruction or another non-critical call to the EL fails I think we should avoid marking the EL as offline. Currently there is an incompatibility with ethereumjs that results in Lighthouse & ethereumjs stalling due to the inability to reconstruct payloads. IMO we should keep running and issuing forkchoiceUpdated/notifyNewPayload messages while ignoring the getBlockByHash failures.

The relevant ethereumjs issue is ethereumjs/ethereumjs-monorepo#1880

Version

Lighthouse v2.2.1 with #3157
