Apply hotfix for inconsistent head (#1639)
## Issue Addressed - Resolves #1616 ## Proposed Changes If we look at the function which persists fork choice and the canonical head to disk: https://github.com/sigp/lighthouse/blob/1db8daae0c7bb34bf2e05644fa6bf313c2bea98e/beacon_node/beacon_chain/src/beacon_chain.rs#L234-L280 There is a race-condition which might cause the canonical head and fork choice values to be out-of-sync. I believe this is the cause of #1616. I managed to recreate the issue and produce a database that was unable to sync under the `master` branch but able to sync with this branch. These new changes solve the issue by ignoring the persisted `canonical_head_block_root` value and instead getting fork choice to generate it. This ensures that the canonical head is in-sync with fork choice. ## Additional Info This is hotfix method that leaves some crusty code hanging around. Once this PR is merged (to satisfy the v0.2.x users) we should later update and merge #1638 so we can have a clean fix for the v0.3.x versions.
