Add light sync command

- Only syncs block headers (excludes block bodies, transactions, receipts, and logs)
- Modifies validation window to include the most recent block
- Isolates validation window to the variable defined in the cmd directory (blocks
  have a separate variable defined in the block_repository for determining when
  to set a block as final)
