Expose execution block hash calculation (#4326)

## Proposed Changes

This is a light refactor of the execution layer's block hash calculation logic making it easier to use externally. e.g. in `eleel` (https://github.com/sigp/eleel/pull/18).

A static method is preferable to a method because the calculation doesn't actually need any data from `self`, and callers may want to compute block hashes without constructing an `ExecutionLayer` (`eleel` only constructs a simpler `Engine` struct).
