* electra attestation updates
In Electra, we have two attestation formats: on-chain and on-network -
the former combines all committees of a slot in a single committee bit
list.
This PR makes a number of cleanups to move towards fixing this -
attestation packing however still needs to be fixed as it currently
creates attestations with a single committee only which is very
inefficient.
* more attestations in the blocks
* signing and aggregation fixes
* tool fix
* test, import
When the network is partitioned for a long time, e.g., Goerli, branches
start forming where different peers have distinct views about the chain
state. The current syncing solution with sync manager doesn't handle the
case well, as it is optimized for a healthy network where syncing can be
parallelized across different peers. To support sync manager discovering
additional branches, a new module is added that pulls in histories from
peers on unknown branches in a backwards manner.
There can be situations where proposals need to be made on top of stale
parent state. Because the distance to the wall slot is big, the proposal
state (`getProposalState`) has to be computed incrementally to avoid lag
spikes. Proposals have to be timely to have a chance to propagate on the
network. Peak memory requirements don't change, but the proposal state
needs to be allocated for a longer duration than usual.
Using a dedicated branch for researching the effectiveness of split view
scenario handling simplifies testing and avoids having partial work on
`unstable`. If we want, we can reintroduce it under a `--debug` flag at
a later time. But for now, Goerli is a rare opoprtunity to test this,
maybe just for another week or so.
