EIP-6110 -- The Beacon Chain

Introduction
This is the beacon chain specification of in-protocol deposits processing mechanism. This mechanism relies on the changes proposed by EIP-6110.
Note: This specification is under development and should be used with care.

Testing
Note: The function initialize_beacon_state_from_eth1

Modifications include:
- Use

as the previous and current fork version. - Utilize the EIP-6110
BeaconBlockBody
when constructing the initiallatest_block_header
.
