Part of #1565
Description
Write why you are making the changes in this pull request
Given our monolithic state decision for our testnet in addition to not having an implemented caching layer for tree hashing, tree hashing becomes an unnecessary bottleneck in our beacon chain processing, increasing the time to process blocks and fetch state by over 10 times.
Write a summary of the changes you are making
This PR simply replaces it with hashutil.HashBeaconBlock which reverts back to the old hash function we've been using instead of ssz.TreeHash.
