Block production can fail when eth1 deposits are not current

See original GitHub issue

ERROR | BeaconRestApi | Failed to process request to URL ..../eth/v2/validator/blocks/....
tech.pegasys.teku.validator.coordinator.MissingDepositsException: Unable to create block because ETH1 deposits are not available. Missing deposits 410438 to 410582

In this case, we’ve failed with 500 with full stack trace.

What’d be nice is if GetNewBlock fails (v2 only is fine), and the exception is a MissingDepositsException, we should pass back the error message, still as a 500 error, and we won’t need to fall through to the default exception handler and print the stack trace.

This will give the user a lot more context about what may be going wrong.

Assigned to me so no one else takes it - apparently can’t assign it to you directly.

Let me know if we should also check that it is a GetNewBlock call.
