[r3.4] cl/gossip: fix conditions forwarding, ENR lifecycle, and epoch-mismatch (#20777)

## Summary

Cherry-pick of #20772 to `release/3.4`.

- **Root cause fix**: `registerGossipService` silently dropped
`conditions` (including `waitReady`), causing gossip messages to be
processed when the node was behind — leading to false committee
membership rejections and legitimate peers being banned via
`ValidationReject`
- **ENR lifecycle**: Fix redundant `UpdateENR*` calls on every expiry
renewal (caused `[Sentinel] Updated subnet` log flooding), and add
missing ENR bit clearing in `Remove()`/`Unsubscribe()`
- **Epoch-mismatch guard**: Early `ErrIgnore` return when head state
epoch differs from attestation/aggregate epoch, preventing stale RANDAO
committee computations
- **Log noise**: Demote `[Sentinel] Updated subnet` from `Info` to
`Debug`
- **Regression test**: Verify conditions are forwarded in
`registerGossipService`

## Test plan
- [x] `go build ./cl/...` compiles on release/3.4
- [x] `TestAttestation`, `TestAggregate*`, gossip tests all pass
- [ ] Deploy on Hoodi testnet and verify no more false rejections or ENR
log flooding
