After beacon node receives this request, and `slot_signature` is valid it must:
- search using discv5 for peers related to this subnet and replace current peers with those ones if necessary
If validator is aggregator based on `slot_signature`, beacon node must:
- add subnet to ENR
- announce subnet topic subscription on gossipsub
- search using discv5 for peers related to this subnet and replace current peers with those ones if neccessary
- aggregate attestations received on that subnet

Slot signature is valid and beacon node is subscribed to given committee attestation subnet.
Slot signature is valid and beacon node has prepared the attestation subnet.
Note that, we cannot be certain Beacon node will find peers for that subnet for various reasons,"
