fix: remove previous header in Prepare/Process Proposal + provide cha…

…in id in baseapp + fix context for verifying txs (#15303)

## Description

### Issue
Some values (like chain ID) were being leaked from the previous block/initialization into PrepareProposal and ProcessProposal, these values are only available if:
1. The node has never been stopped since the genesis block (as these values are set on `InitChain`)
2. The node has already commited a block (as the previous header was being used for the new state of prepare and process proposal).

So if a node is restarted, during the first prepare and process proposal these values won't be populated, and that will cause issues if they are being used.

### Solution

Remove any previous header information from a previous block in the prepare and process proposal contexts, making things consistent at every height.

- Added ChainID to baseapp
- Use an empty header in Commit() with only the chain id set
- Fix context for prepare and process proposal

Closes: #15269
