c4f7256766 lite2: store current validator set (#4472)
Before we were storing trustedHeader (height=1) and trustedNextVals
(height=2).

After this change, we will be storing trustedHeader (height=1) and
trustedVals (height=1). This a) simplifies the code b) fixes #4399
inconsistent pairing issue c) gives a relayer access to the current
validator set #4470.

The only downside is more jumps during bisection. If validator set
changes between trustedHeader and the next header (by 2/3 or more), the
light client will be forced to download the next header and check that
2/3+ signed the transition. But we don't expect validator set change too
much and too often, so it's an acceptable compromise.

Closes #4470 and #4399

bb7a80ec7e lite2: fetch missing headers (#4362)
Closes #4328

When TrustedHeader(height) is called, if the height is less than the trusted height but the header is not in the trusted store then a function finds the previous lowest height with a trusted header and performs a forwards sequential verification to the header of the height that was given. If no error is found it updates the trusted store with the header and validator set for that height and can then return them to the user.

Commits:

* drafted trusted header

* created function to find previous trusted height

* updates missing headers less than the trusted height

* minor cosmetic tweaks

* incorporated suggestions

* lite2: implement Backwards verification

and add SignedHeaderAfter func to Store interface

Refs https://github.com/tendermint/tendermint/issues/4328#issuecomment-581878549

* remove unused method

* write tests

* start with next height in SignedHeaderAfter func

* fix linter errors

* address Callum's comments
