Simple validator onboarding

On your very first connection to each testnet, you'll be asked to
become a validator. Please consult our private repo for a Goerli
Eth1 private key that you can use for deposits.

Other changes:

* Added a simple wrapper ./connect-to-testnet script calling the
  nims file in the correct environment. No extension was used to
  make the command the same on Unix and Windows.

* Bumped a number of modules with fixes from this week

* `make testnet0` and `make testnet1` will no longer delete your
  existing database. This is considered a more appropriate behavior
  for testing forward sync.
