Allow truncation of pubkey cache on creation (#1686)

Browse Source 
## Issue Addressed

Closes #1680

## Proposed Changes

This PR fixes a race condition in beacon node start-up whereby the pubkey cache could be created by the beacon chain builder before the `PersistedBeaconChain` was stored to disk. When the node restarted, it would find the persisted chain missing, and attempt to start from scratch, creating a new pubkey cache in the process. This call to `ValidatorPubkeyCache::new` would fail if the file already existed (which it did). I changed the behaviour so that pubkey cache initialization now doesn't care whether there's a file already in existence (it's only a cache after all). Instead it will truncate and recreate the file in the race scenario described.
