feat: Move AppModule.BeginBlock and AppModule.EndBlock to extension interfaces (#12603)

## Description
Most modules right now have a no-op for AppModule.BeginBlock and AppModule.EndBlock. We should move these methods off the AppModule interface so we have less deadcode, and instead move them to extension interfaces. 

1. I added `BeginBlockAppModule` and `EndBlockAppModule` interface.
2. Remove the dead-code from modules that do no implement them
3. Add type casting in the the module code to use the new interface

Closes: #12462
