instead of using stdlib/json, now we switch to json_serialization
the result is much tidier code and more robust when parsing
optional fields.
fixes#635
the `processArguments` now have overloaded proc, one with opt param and one without.
the OptParser now can be passed to `opt` param.
this is useful in scenario where in test code we need to simulate something
without using real command line arguments.
rather than initialize it to 0, those block numbers
are initialized to high(BlockNumber). this will fix
issue when imported genesis.json doesn't contains all
forks' blockNumber.
Capitalisation:
- The option is lower case `--logmetrics` but help said `--logMetrics`
- Same for `--logmetricsiterval`
- Same for `--metricsserver` and `--metricsserverport`
Ethereum network selection:
- Moved out into their own, cleaner help section
- Added help for `--mainnet`, `--goerli` and `--kovan`
- Moved `--networkid` and `--customnetwork` to this section as well
Other:
- Reworded or formatted some help lines for clarity and consistency
Changed options:
- Renamed `--metricserver` to `--metrics`
- Renamed `--matricsserverport` to `--metricsport`
- Removed Morden network; this didn't have an option, but could be
selected with `--networkid:2` and then fail to work

* switch to chronos metrics, remove insecure
See https://github.com/status-im/nimbus-eth2/pull/2468
also fixes pcre linking for real, and adds some random build flags that
help nimbus-eth2 stay afloat
* fix help
* don't omit frame pointers on windows
* bump vendor/nimbus-build-system
- add the Nim compiler header to the Nimbus header
- also support the USE_LIBBACKTRACE env var
* "go-checks" target no longer available
- moved "nimbus/api" to "wrappers"
- renamed files
- replaced the build scripts with Makefile targets
- set the rpath relative to the test binary's location so it can look
for libnimbus.so there at runtime
- libnimbus.so.0 required on Linux, apparently
- compiled all the Nimbus code with `--app:lib`, not just one file (this
required skipping a proc in "nimbus/config.nim" because it uses an API
that's unavailable in libraries)
- removed static linking from the Go wrapper. It doesn't make sense at a
global level, when using a shared Nimbus library. To selectively link
static libraries, we should probably be specifying them as *.a. I did
build a static libnimbus.a, as a test, but it insisted on dlopen-ing a
shared version of itself which looked too ugly to continue.
