era: load blocks and states (#3394)

* era: load blocks and states

Era files contain finalized history and can be thought of as an
alternative source for block and state data that allows clients to avoid
syncing this information from the P2P network - the P2P network is then
used to "top up" the client with the most recent data. They can be
freely shared in the community via whatever means (http, torrent, etc)
and serve as a permanent cold store of consensus data (and, after the
merge, execution data) for history buffs and bean counters alike.

This PR gently introduces support for loading blocks and states in two
cases: block requests from rest/p2p and frontfilling when doing
checkpoint sync.

The era files are used as a secondary source if the information is not
found in the database - compared to the database, there are a few key
differences:

* the database stores the block indexed by block root while the era file
indexes by slot - the former is used only in rest, while the latter is
used both by p2p and rest.
* when loading blocks from era files, the root is no longer trivially
available - if it is needed, it must either be computed (slow) or cached
(messy) - the good news is that for p2p requests, it is not needed
* in era files, "framed" snappy encoding is used while in the database
we store unframed snappy - for p2p2 requests, the latter requires
recompression while the former could avoid it
* front-filling is the process of using era files to replace backfilling
- in theory this front-filling could happen from any block and
front-fills with gaps could also be entertained, but our backfilling
algorithm cannot take advantage of this because there's no (simple) way
to tell it to "skip" a range.
* front-filling, as implemented, is a bit slow (10s to load mainnet): we
load the full BeaconState for every era to grab the roots of the blocks
- it would be better to partially load the state - as such, it would
also be good to be able to partially decompress snappy blobs
* lookups from REST via root are served by first looking up a block
summary in the database, then using the slot to load the block data from
the era file - however, there needs to be an option to create the
summary table from era files to fully support historical queries

To test this, `ncli_db` has an era file exporter: the files it creates
should be placed in an `era` folder next to `db` in the data directory.
What's interesting in particular about this setup is that `db` remains
as the source of truth for security purposes - it stores the latest
synced head root which in turn determines where a node "starts" its
consensus participation - the era directory however can be freely shared
between nodes / people without any (significant) security implications,
assuming the era files are consistent / not broken.

There's lots of future improvements to be had:

* we can drop the in-memory `BlockRef` index almost entirely - at this
point, resident memory usage of Nimbus should drop to a cool 500-600 mb
* we could serve era files via REST trivially: this would drop backfill
times to whatever time it takes to download the files - unlike the
current implementation that downloads block by block, downloading an era
at a time almost entirely cuts out request overhead
* we can "reasonably" recreate detailed state history from almost any
point in time, turning an O(slot) process into O(1) effectively - we'll
still need caches and indices to do this with sufficient efficiency for
the rest api, but at least it cuts the whole process down to minutes
instead of hours, for arbitrary points in time

* CI: ignore failures with Nim-1.6 (temporary)

* test fixes

* `era-count` is the number of eras stored in the file, as a 5-digit 0-filled decimal integer
* `short-historical-root` is the first 4 bytes of the last historical root in the last state in the era file, lower-case hex-encoded (8 characters), except the genesis era which instead uses the `genesis_validators_root` field from the genesis state.
* The root is available as `state.historical_roots[era - 1]` except genesis, whose historical root is all `0`
* The root is available as `state.historical_roots[era - 1]` except for genesis, which is `state.genesis_validators_root`
* Era files with multiple eras use the root of the highest era - this determines the earlier eras as well
An era file containing the mainnet genesis is thus named `mainnet-00000000-0000-0001.era`, and the era after that `mainnet-40cf2f3c-0001-0001.era`.
An era file containing the mainnet genesis is thus named `mainnet-00000-00001-4b363db9.era`, and the era after that `mainnet-00001-00001-40cf2f3c.era`.
## Structure
@ -174,16 +175,16 @@ An `.era` file is structured in the following way:
```
era := group+
group := Version | block* | canonical-state | other-entries* | slot-index(block)? | slot-index(state)
group := Version | block* | era-state | other-entries* | slot-index(block)? | slot-index(state)
block := CompressedSignedBeaconBlock
canonical-state := CompressedBeaconState
era-state := CompressedBeaconState
```
The `block` entries of a group include all blocks pertaining to an era. For example, the group representing era one will have all blocks from slot 0 up to and including block 8191.
The `canonical-state` is the state of the slot that immediately follows the end of the era without applying blocks from the next era. For example, era 1 that covers the first 8192 slots will have all blocks applied up to slot 8191 and will `process_slots` up to 8192. The genesis group contains only the genesis state but no blocks.
The `era-state` is the state of the slot that immediately follows the end of the era without applying blocks from the next era. For example, era 1 that covers the first 8192 slots will have all blocks applied up to slot 8191 and will `process_slots` up to 8192. The genesis group contains only the genesis state but no blocks.
`slot-index(state)` is a `SlotIndex` entry with `count = 1` for the `CompressedBeaconState` entry of that era, pointing out the offset where the state entry begins. (TODO: consider count > 1 for files that cover multiple eras - breaks trivial composability of each era snippet but allows instant lookup in multi-era files)
`slot-index(state)` is a `SlotIndex` entry with `count = 1` for the `CompressedBeaconState` entry of that era, pointing out the offset where the state entry begins.
`slot-index(block)` is a `SlotIndex` entry with `count = SLOTS_PER_HISTORICAL_ROOT` for the `CompressedSignedBeaconBlock` entries in that era, pointing out the offsets of each block in the era. It is omitted for the genesis era.

Era files will store execution block contents, but not execution states (these are too large) - a full era history thus gives the full ethereum history from the merge onwards, for convenient cold storage.
## What is a "canonical state" and why use it?
## What is a "era state" and why use it?
The state transition function in ethereum does 3 things: slot processing, epoch processing and block processing, in that order. In particular, the slot and epoch processing is done for every slot and epoch, but the block processing may be skipped. When epoch processing is done, all the epoch-related fields in the state have been written, and a new epoch can begin - it's thus reasonable to say that the epoch processing is the last thing that happens in an epoch and the block processing happens in the context of the new epoch.
Storing the "canonical state" without the block applied means that any block from the new epoch can be applied to it - if two histories exist, one that skips the first block in the epoch and one that includes it, one can use the same canonical state in both cases.
Storing the "era state" without the block applied means that any block from the new epoch can be applied to it - if two histories exist, one that skips the first block in the epoch and one that includes it, one can use the same era state in both cases.
One downside is that future blocks will store the state root of the "era state" with the block applied, making it slightly harder to verify that the state in a given era file is part of a particular history.
TODO: consider workarounds for the above point - one can state-transition to find the right state root, but that increases verification requirements significantly.
