We need to re-enable these at least outside of mainnet. This task should include some performance analysis to see how can we do so that this doesn't become a bottleneck.

Research direction

Start at lib/lambda_ethereum_consensus/p2p/gossip/handler.ex lines 33-34 and review issue #752 plus the linked EIP and performance discussion. Determine how attestations can be re-enabled outside mainnet, measure whether processing creates a bottleneck, and document results showing the intended behavior and acceptable performance.
