Callum Waters f368b91caf light: minor fixes / standardising errors (#5716)
## Description

I'm just doing a self audit of the light client. There's a few things I've changed

- Validate trust level in `VerifyNonAdjacent` function
- Make errNoWitnesses public (it's something people running software on top of a light client should be able to parse)
- Remove `ChainID` check of witnesses on start up. We do this already when we compare the first header with witnesses
- Remove `ChainID()` from provider interface

Closes: #4538
