Fixes #706

Add CLI reference for --force-clear-db, and mention it in checkpoint-start, network troubleshooting, and migrate-database so users can clear the beacon DB on startup instead of deleting it manually.


Note

Low Risk
Documentation-only changes, but they describe a destructive DB-wipe flag and could cause data loss if misused or misread.

Overview
Adds CLI documentation for the new --force-clear-db option (including env var and config-file forms) and warns that it permanently deletes the beacon chain DB on startup.

Updates checkpoint sync, network troubleshooting, and manual DB migration docs to recommend clearing the beacon DB via --force-clear-db as an alternative to manually deleting beacon/db, with small wording/formatting tweaks and an added reminder to avoid deleting validator slashing-protection data.
