consensus/bor: validate valset from header at sprint end (#7438)

This PR adds changes from https://github.com/maticnetwork/bor/pull/768
and https://github.com/maticnetwork/bor/pull/787.

Note that bor fetches the data from the child chain contract via
`getBorValidators` method while erigon does it via fetching the required
span from heimdall (or cache if present). Hence, as done in bor, we
don't really need to create new methods to get data via block number or
hash.
