* Make RANDAO into a hash chain (this makes it easy for applications to prove the intermediate RANDAO reveals).
* Include `state.slot` when shuffle to avoid stale shuffles with skip slots
* Cleanup comments related to custody
* Rename "Miscellaneous" to "Custody" in the table of contents
* Use `INITIAL_SLOT_NUMBER` instead of `0` for initial custody slots
* (typo) Fix `second_latest_custody_reseed_slot` => `penultimate_custody_reseed_slot`
* `processed_deposit_root` => `latest_deposit_root`
* `receipt_root` => `deposit_root`
* `receipt_tree` => `deposit_tree`
* Emphasize that deposits are Ethereum 1.0 deposits in text in various places
* `Eth1Deposit` => `Deposit` for consistency (Also happy sticking with `Eth1Deposit` and replacing `deposit_` with `eth1_deposit_` everywhere. This may be unnecessary since Ethereum 2.0 deposits can be distinguished with the `shard_` prefix, e.g. `ShardDeposit` and `shard_deposit`.)
* Clarify `withdrawal_credentials`.
* Clarify that multiple Ethereum 1.0 blocks can have the same deposit root.
Cleanups
* (typo) Remove `get_new_validator_registry_delta_chain_tip` from table of contents
* (typo) Update "Routines for updating validator status" in table of contents
* Update `FAR_FUTURE_SLOT` from `2**63` to `2**64 - 1`
* Put more constants in "Initial values", homogenise
* Cleanup note formatting
* Remove `ZERO_BALANCE_VALIDATOR_TTL` logic (to be possibly reintroduced in phase 2).
* Cleanup `min_empty_validator_index`
* Rename `deposit` to `amount` in `process_deposit` and `DepositData`.
* (typo) Remove new line under `process_penalties_and_exits`
* (typo) "Status codes" => "Status flags" in the table of contents
* (typo) `(state.slot - EPOCH_LENGTH) % LATEST_RANDAO_MIXES_LENGTH` => Use `SEED_LOOKAHEAD` instead.
* Put `state.validator_registry_latest_change_slot = state.slot` in `update_validator_registry`.
* Use `GENESIS_SLOT` for `last_poc_change_slot=0` and `second_last_poc_change_slot=0`.
Bugfixes
* (typo) `validator_exit` => `exit.validator_index`
* Separate initial deposits and initial activations to avoid double activations
* Replace `proposer.status != EXITED_WITH_PENALTY` with `validator.penalized_slot > state.slot` in two different places.
* Replace `status == EXITED_WITH_PENALTY` with `validator.penalized_slot <= state.slot` (and validator active) in two different places.
* Added `activation_slot`, `exit_slot`, `penalized_slot`, `withdrawal_slot`, use these to determine if a validator is active
* Universal min activation/exit delay of 256 slots
* Min exit time of ~1 day, but penalization delays this to ~18 days
* Penalty calculation period of `[time penalized - 18 days, time penalized + 18 days]`; made the total penalties array fixed size and wraparound to make calculation more fine-grained
* Processes withdrawals in all epochs, not just dynasty-changing epochs
* Change `get_shuffling` function to take slot as argument
Not yet done:
* Removed `shard_committees` from the state
* Removed persistent committees from the state
