Avoid state history finality log failure and node shutdown if savanna transition is forked out. Resolves #289. This is a fairly simple change that erases all finality data log files and reopens a fresh head log when savanna finality data is removed (which can only happen upon the transition being forked out).
An even simpler alternative would be to always write the
std::optional<finality_data_t>
out, which we could do instead, but that puts a little more burden on consumers.
