* get_proposer -> get_beacon_proposer, block -> slot
* Move proposer sig to the end of a block
* Update specs/core/0_beacon-chain.md

* sig -> signature
* add type hints for get_beacon_proposer
Also adjusted constants to keep interest rates and the quadratic leak period the same.
Also, did some simplifications of the cycle calculation procedure. Make the decision to remove automatic registration of a validator as a proposer when they join, because that can just happen on its own due to the reshuffling procedure.
* pack small items tightly to fit more items in single chunk, decreasing
the number of hash operations needed
* remove chunk padding - hash algorithm will pad to its own block size
anyway
* express data length in number of items instead of binary bytes at leaf
level (equivalent)
Moves the procedure for handling specials into the per-block processing loop. Cleans up the specification for handling them to be more unambiguous, and changes the formats to be more readable and simpler to implement.
* Added tree hashing algorithm
* Update simple-serialize.md
* add one more ref to tree_hash
* Add the zero-item special case
* list_to_glob to handle empty list
* Add shard blocks, shard data roots and how data is computed into crosslinks
Includes:
* Shard block structure
* Shard block header verification rule
* Shard block fork choice rule
* Shard block body verification rule
* Crosslink verification rule
Possible simplification: require `calc_block_maxbytes` to always output an exact power of two; if we desire the average maxbytes to be smooth, we can simply make it a pseudorandom chose between powers. This reduces some of the padding complexity.
* create separate files for phases (#125)
* create separate files for phases
* fix links
* add shard block pre processing conditions
* cleanup
* remove 'essentially'
* Updated handling for beacon chain skipping slots.
* Handle missing slots more
* modify attestation validity rule for crosslink hash
Validators cannot simply be "popped out" of the list because it's super-important for validator indices to be immutable.
Instead, the validator stays until a new run of `add_validator` swaps it out.
* refactor hash in simple serialize to support arbitrary byte length
* make comment clearer
* add deserialization of hashN
* formatting
* remove specific hash examples
