Closes: #4537
Uses SignedHeaderBefore to find header before unverified header and then bisection to verify the header. Only when header is between first and last trusted header height else if before the first trusted header height then regular backwards verification is used.
Closes: #4420
Created a new error ErrInvalidHeaderwhich can be formed during the verification process verifier.go and will result in the replacement of the primary provider with a witness by executing: replacePrimaryProvider()

## Commits:
* add Verifier and VerifyCommitTrusting
* add two more checks
make trustLevel an option
* float32 for trustLevel
* check newHeader time
* started writing lite Client
* unify Verify methods
* ensure h2.Header.bfttime < h1.Header.bfttime + tp
* move trust checks into Verify function
* add more comments
* more docs
* started writing tests
* unbonding period failures
* tests are green
* export ErrNewHeaderTooFarIntoFuture
* make golangci happy
* test for non-adjusted headers
* more precision
* providers and stores
* VerifyHeader and VerifyHeaderAtHeight funcs
* fix compile errors
* remove lastVerifiedHeight, persist new trusted header
* sequential verification
* remove TrustedStore option
* started writing tests for light client
* cover basic cases for linear verification
* bisection tests PASS
* rename BisectingVerification to SkippingVerification
* refactor the code
* add TrustedHeader method
* consolidate sequential verification tests
* consolidate skipping verification tests
* rename trustedVals to trustedNextVals
* start writing docs
* ValidateTrustLevel func and ErrOldHeaderExpired error
* AutoClient and example tests
* fix errors
* update doc
* remove ErrNewHeaderTooFarIntoFuture
This check is unnecessary given existing a) ErrOldHeaderExpired b)
h2.Time > now checks.
* return an error if we're at more recent height
* add comments
* add LastSignedHeaderHeight method to Store
I think it's fine if Store tracks last height
* copy over proxy from old lite package
* make TrustedHeader return latest if height=0
* modify LastSignedHeaderHeight to return an error if no headers exist
* copy over proxy impl
* refactor proxy and start http lite client
* Tx and BlockchainInfo methods
* Block method
* commit method
* code compiles again
* lite client compiles
* extract updateLiteClientIfNeededTo func
* move final parts
* add placeholder for tests
* force usage of lite http client in proxy
* comment out query tests for now
* explicitly mention tp: trusting period
* verify nextVals in VerifyHeader
* refactor bisection
* move the NextValidatorsHash check into updateTrustedHeaderAndVals
+ update the comment
* add ConsensusParams method to RPC client
* add ConsensusParams to rpc/mock/client
* change trustLevel type to a new cmn.Fraction type
+ update SkippingVerification comment
* stress out trustLevel is only used for non-adjusted headers
* fixes after Fede's review

* compare newHeader with a header from an alternative provider
* save pivot header

* lite: update Validators and Block endpoints
- Block no longer contains BlockMeta
- Validators now accept two additional params: page and perPage
* make linter happy
