When payload-validation-enabled is true, maru validates every block against
Besu before sending fork choice updates. If Besu is in an inconsistent state
(e.g., stuck in SNAP sync), this causes maru to stop sending fork choice
updates entirely, preventing Besu from ever syncing.
The official Linea configuration uses payload-validation-enabled = false,
which allows maru to continue sending fork choice updates regardless of
Besu's current state.
