Revise doc API section (#4798)

## Issue Addressed

Partially #4788 

## Proposed Changes

Remove documentation on `/lighthouse/database/reconstruct` API to avoid confusion as the calling the API during historical block download will show an error in the beacon log

Add Events API about `payload_attributes`

## Additional Info

Please provide any additional information. For example, future considerations
or information useful for reviewers.

You can replace `1` in the above command with the validator index that you would like to query. Other API query can be done similarly by changing the link according to the Beacon API.
### Events API
The [events API](https://ethereum.github.io/beacon-APIs/#/Events/eventstream) provides information such as the payload attributes that are of interest to block builders and relays. To query the payload attributes, it is necessary to run Lighthouse beacon node with the flag `--always-prepare-payload`. It is also recommended to add the flag `--prepare-payload-lookahead 8000` which configures the payload attributes to be sent at 4s into each slot (or 8s from the start of the next slot). An example of the command is:
```bash
curl -X 'GET' \
'http://localhost:5052/eth/v1/events?topics=payload_attributes' \
-H 'accept: text/event-stream'
```
An example of response is:

In order to apply these APIs, you need to have historical states information in the database of your node. This means adding the flag `--reconstruct-historic-states` in the beacon node or using the [/lighthouse/database/reconstruct API](./api-lighthouse.md#lighthousedatabasereconstruct). Once the state reconstruction process is completed, you can apply these APIs to any epoch.
