Issue Addressed

Closes #7963

Proposed Changes

Adds a User-Agent HTTP header to validator client requests to beacon nodes. The header format is Lighthouse/v<version>-<commit> (e.g., Lighthouse/v8.0.0-67da032).

This helps distributed validator middleware operators identify what their peers are running, similar to how Prysm already implements this.

  Implements identification of Lighthouse validator client in HTTP requests
  to beacon nodes using User-Agent header with format 'Lighthouse/v<version>'.

  This helps distributed validator middleware operators identify what their
  peers are running.

  Fixes sigp#7963

Ah I've just realise this has already been implemented in #7990
I've re-open the issue, and might close this one if we go with the other implementation.
