The current spec is arguably inconsistent, in that if a set of N values gets chunked into M chunks where M is not an exact power of 2, the chunks between M and next_power_of_2(M) are filled with SSZ_CHUNK_SIZE zero bytes each, but the last chunk is not padded, and could be arbitrarily short (eg. if the values are 4 bytes and there are 257 of them, then that gets serialized into eight chunks chunks where the first four are 64 values each, the fifth is 4 bytes corresponding to the last value, and the last three chunks are SSZ_CHUNK_SIZE zero bytes). This PR fills every chunk up to exactly SSZ_CHUNK_SIZE bytes for consistency.
The usual convention is that we mark function parameters in docstrings with
double backticks. There is no (longer a) parameter called 'validator' so we
update the docstring to conform to the convention.
In blockprocessing, `crosslink_committee` is not defined. This is a fix.
In Phase 0 this check is redundant since we've already asserted that the
custody bitfield is all zero, but it will matter in later phases.
* Simplify by removing `exit_epoch` in `BeaconState` and `Validator`. (Also less storage for full nodes.)
* Replace with `exit_epoch` when ordering validator with withdrawal. Slight loss of granularity, but that's actually a good thing because it reduces the opportunity for manipulation by proposers.
* (Logic change) Introduce invariant that attestations can be included for `EPOCH_LENGTH`.
* Simplify presentation by related checks into a single line.
* Fix bug whereby `intersection` (replaced by `slashable_indices `) could be non-empty, but no validator gets penalized because they were all already penalized.
* Rename `SlashableVote` to `SlashableAttestation` (for consistency with `Attestation`, and to avoid having "Vote" be a synonym of "Attestation").
* Rename `slot_included` to `inclusion_slot` for consistency with the `_slot` (and `_epoch`) postfix convention
* Homogenise ordering of fields in `Attestation` and `SlashableAttestation` objects (one has an `aggregation_bitfield` instead of the other's `validator_indices`).
* Homogenise ordering of fields in `Attestation` and `PendingAttestation` objects (one has an `aggregate_signature` instead of the other's `inclusion_slot`).
* Light presentation cleanup
