Paul Hauner 7a64994283 Call per_slot_task from a blocking thread (v2) (#3199)
*This PR was adapted from @pawanjay176's work in #3197.*

## Issue Addressed

Fixes a regression in https://github.com/sigp/lighthouse/pull/3168

## Proposed Changes

https://github.com/sigp/lighthouse/pull/3168 added calls to `fork_choice` in  `BeaconChain::per_slot_task` function. This leads to a panic as `per_slot_task` is called from an async context which calls fork choice, which then calls `block_on`.

This PR changes the timer to call the `per_slot_task` function in a blocking thread.
