Paul Hauner d23437f726 Ensure FC uses the current slot from the store (#3402)
## Issue Addressed

NA

## Proposed Changes

Ensure that we read the current slot from the `fc_store` rather than the slot clock. This is because the `fc_store` will never allow the slot to go backwards, even if the system clock does. The `ProtoArray::find_head` function assumes a non-decreasing slot.

This issue can cause logs like this:

```
ERRO Error whist recomputing head, error: ForkChoiceError(ProtoArrayError("find_head failed: InvalidBestNode(InvalidBestNodeInfo { start_root: 0xb22655aa2ae23075a60bd40797b3ba220db33d6fb86fa7910f0ed48e34bda72f, justified_checkpoint: Checkpoint { epoch: Epoch(111569), root: 0xb22655aa2ae23075a60bd40797b3ba220db33d6fb86fa7910f0ed48e34bda72f }, finalized_checkpoint: Checkpoint { epoch: Epoch(111568), root: 0x6140797e40c587b0d3f159483bbc603accb7b3af69891979d63efac437f9896f }, head_root: 0xb22655aa2ae23075a60bd40797b3ba220db33d6fb86fa7910f0ed48e34bda72f, head_justified_checkpoint: Some(Checkpoint { epoch: Epoch(111568), root: 0x6140797e40c587b0d3f159483bbc603accb7b3af69891979d63efac437f9896f }), head_finalized_checkpoint: Some(Checkpoint { epoch: Epoch(111567), root: 0x59b913d37383a158a9ea5546a572acc79e2cdfbc904c744744789d2c3814c570 }) })")), service: beacon, module: beacon_chain::canonical_head:499
```

We expect nodes to automatically recover from this issue within seconds without any major impact. However, having *any* errors in the path of fork choice is undesirable and should be avoided.
