Jordan/ttd debugging helpers (#1013)
* De-noisify some Clique logging

why:
  Too annoying when syncing against Goerly

* Replay devnet# and kiln sessions

why:
  Compiled as local program, the unit test was used for TDD.

Exported blobs and some scripts to parallel project nimbus-eth1-blobs (#995)
why:
  TDD data and test script that are not needed for CI are externally held.
  This saves space.

also:
  Added support for test-custom_networks.nim to run import Devnet5 dump.

Jordan/custom network (#962)
* Rearrange/rename test_kintsugu => test_custom_network

why:
  Debug, fix and test more general problems related to running
  nimbus on a custom network.

* Update UInt265/Json parser for --custom-network command line option

why:
  As found out with the Kintsugi configuration, block number and balance
  have the same Nim type which led to misunderstandings. This patch makes
  sure that UInt265 encoded string values "0x11" decodes to 17, and "b"
  and "11" to 11.

* Refactored genesis.toBlock() => genesis.toBlockHeader()

why:
  The function toBlock(g,db) may return different results depending on
  whether the db descriptor argument is nil, or initialised. This is due
  to the db.config data sub-descriptor which may give various outcomes
  for the baseFee field of the genesis header.

  Also, the version where db is non-nil initialised is used internally
  only. So the public rewrite toBlockHeader() that replaces the toBlock()
  function expects a full set of NetworkParams.

* update comments

* Rename toBlockHeader() => toGenesisHeader()

why:
  Polymorphic prototype used for BaseChainDB or NetworkParams argument.
  With a BaseChainDB descriptor argument, the name shall imply that the
  header is generated from the config fields rather than fetched from
  the database.

* Added command line option --static-peers-file

why:
  Handy feature to keep peer nodes in a file, similar to the
  --bootstrap-file option.
