Snappy revamp (#3564)
This PR makes the necessary adjustments to deal with the revamped snappy
API.

In practical terms for nimbus-eth2, there are performance increases to
gossip processing, database reading and writing as well as era file
processing. Exporting `.era` files for example, a snappy-heavy
operation, almost halves in total processing time:

Some upstream repos still need fixes, but this gets us close enough that
style hints can be enabled by default.

In general, "canonical" spellings are preferred even if they violate
nep-1 - this applies in particular to spec-related stuff like
`genesis_validators_root` which appears throughout the codebase.

use snappy-framed format for compressing bellatrix+ database entries (#3551)
`.era` files and Req/Resp protocols use framed formats - aligning the
database with these makes for less recompression work overall as gossip
is sent only once while req/resp repeats (potentially) - this also
allows efficient pruning-to-era where snappy-recompression is the major
cycle thief.

introduce light client processor (#3509)

Prune `BlockRef` on finalization (#3513)
Up til now, the block dag has been using `BlockRef`, a structure adapted
for a full DAG, to represent all of chain history. This is a correct and
simple design, but does not exploit the linearity of the chain once
parts of it finalize.

By pruning the in-memory `BlockRef` structure at finalization, we save,
at the time of writing, a cool ~250mb (or 25%:ish) chunk of memory
landing us at a steady state of ~750mb normal memory usage for a
validating node.

Above all though, we prevent memory usage from growing proportionally
with the length of the chain, something that would not be sustainable
over time -  instead, the steady state memory usage is roughly
determined by the validator set size which grows much more slowly. With
these changes, the core should remain sustainable memory-wise post-merge
all the way to withdrawals (when the validator set is expected to grow).

In-memory indices are still used for the "hot" unfinalized portion of
the chain - this ensure that consensus performance remains unchanged.

What changes is that for historical access, we use a db-based linear
slot index which is cache-and-disk-friendly, keeping the cost for
accessing historical data at a similar level as before, achieving the
savings at no percievable cost to functionality or performance.

A nice collateral benefit is the almost-instant startup since we no
longer load any large indicies at dag init.

The cost of this functionality instead can be found in the complexity of
having to deal with two ways of traversing the chain - by `BlockRef` and
by slot.

* use `BlockId` instead of `BlockRef` where finalized / historical data
may be required
* simplify clearance pre-advancement
* remove dag.finalizedBlocks (~50:ish mb)
* remove `getBlockAtSlot` - use `getBlockIdAtSlot` instead
* `parent` and `atSlot` for `BlockId` now require a `ChainDAGRef`
instance, unlike `BlockRef` traversal
* prune `BlockRef` parents on finality (~200:ish mb)
* speed up ChainDAG init by not loading finalized history index
* mess up light client server error handling - this need revisiting :)

move `BlockId` to `spec` (#3511)

remove StateData (#3507)
One more step on the journey to reduce `BlockRef` usage across the
codebase - this one gets rid of `StateData` whose job was to keep track
of which block was last assigned to a state - these duties have now been
taken over by `latest_block_root`, a fairly recent addition that
computes this block root from state data (at a small cost that should be
insignificant)

99% mechanical change.

avoid re-requesting finalized blocks during sync (#3461)
When a `beaconBlocksByRange` response advances the `safeSlot`, but later
has errors, the sync queue keeps repeating that same request until it is
fulfilled without errors. Data up through `safeSlot` is considered to be
immutable, i.e., finalized, so re-requesting that data is not useful.
By advancing the sync progress in that scenario, those redundant query
portions can be avoided. Note, the finalized block _itself_ is always
requested, even in the initial request. This behaviour is kept same.

move dependent root computations to `BeaconState` / `EpochRef` (#3478)
* fewer deps on `BlockRef` traversal in anticipation of pruning
* allows identifying EpochRef:s by their shuffling as a first step of
* tighten error handling around missing blocks

using the zero hash for signalling "missing block" is fragile and easy
to miss - with checkpoint sync now, and pruning in the future, missing
blocks become "normal".

error and progress codes for light client sync (#3490)
When syncing as a light client, different behaviour is needed to handle
the various ways how errors may occur. The existing logic for blocks can
also be applied to light client objects:
- `Invalid`: Malformed object that is clearly an error by its producer.
- `MissingParent`: More data is needed to decide applicability.
- `UnviableFork`: Object may be valid but will never apply on this fork.
- `Duplicate`: No errors were encountered but the object was not useful.

add option to collect light client data (#3474)
Light clients require full nodes to serve additional data so that they
can stay in sync with the network. This patch adds a new launch option
`--import-light-client-data` to configure what data to make available.
For now, data is only kept in memory; it is not persisted at this time.
Note that data is only locally collected, a separate patch is needed to
actually make it availble over the network. `--serve-light-client-data`
will be used for serving data, but is not functional yet outside tests.

Historical state reindex for trusted node sync (#3452)

validate `fork_version` as light client (#3459)
The spec does not provide code for validating the `fork_version` field
of `LightClientUpdate`. However, we can use our own logic for additional
validation of that field. The spec's python test suite sets up states
that do not follow the fork schedule (e.g., that use Altair fork version
before Altair fork epoch), which complicates upstreaming this as code.

chaindag: don't keep backfill block table in memory (#3429)
This PR names and documents the concept of the archive: a range of slots
for which we have degraded functionality in terms of historical access -
in particular:

* we don't support rewinding to states in this range
* we don't keep an in-memory representation of the block dag

The archive de-facto exists in a trusted-node-synced node, but this PR
gives it a name and drops the in-memory digest index.

In order to satisfy `GetBlocksByRange` requests, we ensure that we have
blocks for the entire archive period via backfill. Future versions may
relax this further, adding a "pre-archive" period that is fully pruned.

During by-slot searches in the archive (both for libp2p and rest
requests), an extra database lookup is used to covert the given `slot`
to a `root` - future versions will avoid this using era files which
natively are indexed by `slot`. That said, the lookup is quite
fast compared to the actual block loading given how trivial the table
is - it's hard to measure, even.

A collateral benefit of this PR is that checkpoint-synced nodes will see
100-200MB memory usage savings, thanks to the dropped in-memory cache -
future pruning work will bring this benefit to full nodes as well.

* document chaindag storage architecture and assumptions
* look up parent using block id instead of full block in clearance
(future-proofing the code against a future in which blocks come from era
files)
* simplify finalized block init, always writing the backfill portion to
db at startup (to ensure lookups work as expected)
* preallocate some extra memory for finalized blocks, to avoid immediate
realloc

Ignore seen aggregates (#3439)
https://github.com/ethereum/consensus-specs/pull/2225 removed an ignore
rule that would filter out duplicate aggregates from gossip publishing -
however, this causes increased bandwidth and CPU usage as discussed in
https://github.com/ethereum/consensus-specs/issues/2183 - the intent is
to revert the removal and reinstate the rule.

This PR implements ignore filtering which cuts down on CPU usage (fewer
aggregates to validate) and bandwidth usage (less fanout of duplicates)
