DAL/Node: add a DAL daemon to fetch slots from neighbors

Context

The goal of this MR is to introduce a communication mechanism between DAL Nodes.

  • We introduce a notion of neighbors which are hard-configured peers.
  • DAL node follows monitor_slot_headers for each neighbor and fetches slots when published by downloading shards (one by one for now)

For now, the approach is naive.

  • The DAL node downloads every slots by downloading the first 1/redundancy_factor of the shards
  • We don't use L1 informations to know which shards a dal node is associated to
