Add early check for RPC block relevancy (#2289)

Browse Source 
## Issue Addressed

NA

## Proposed Changes

When observing `jemallocator` heap profiles and Grafana, it became clear that Lighthouse is spending significant RAM/CPU on processing blocks from the RPC. On investigation, it seems that we are loading the parent of the block *before* we check to see if the block is already known. This is a big waste of resources.

This PR adds an additional `check_block_relevancy` call as the first thing we do when we try to process a `SignedBeaconBlock` via the RPC (or other similar methods). Ultimately, `check_block_relevancy` will be called again later in the block processing flow. It's a very light function and I don't think trying to optimize it out is worth the risk of a bad block slipping through. 

Also adds a `New RPC block received` info log when we process a new RPC block. This seems like interesting and infrequent info.
