Sync ForgerCommitment and use it in coord

Previously the coordinator was erroneously using Slot.BatchesLen to determine
when anyone can forge.  The correct behaviour is implmenented with the boolean
flag `ForgerCommitment`, that is set to true only when there's a batch before
the deadline within a slot.

Delete Slot.BatchesLen, and the synchronization code of this value from the
Synchronizer, as this is not needed
