Genesis creation testing

Tests the initialization of a genesis state based on Eth1 data.

Test case format

description: string            -- description of test case, purely for debugging purposes
bls_setting: int               -- see general test-format spec.
eth1_block_hash: Bytes32       -- the root of the Eth-1 block, hex encoded, with prefix 0x
eth1_timestamp: int            -- the timestamp of the block, in seconds.
deposits: [Deposit]            -- list of deposits to build the genesis state with
state: BeaconState             -- the expected genesis state.

To process this test, build a genesis state with the provided eth1_block_hash, eth1_timestamp and deposits: initialize_beacon_state_from_eth1(eth1_block_hash, eth1_timestamp, deposits), as described in the Beacon Chain specification.

Condition

The resulting state should match the expected state.
