This updates `nim-ssz-serialization` to
`3db6cc0f282708aca6c290914488edd832971d61`.
Notable changes:
- Use `uint64` for `GeneralizedIndex`
- Add support for building merkle multiproofs
* Initial commit
* Make `events` API spec compliant.
* Add `Eth-Consensus-Version` in responses.
* Bump chronos to get redirect with headers working.
* Add `is_optimistic` field and handling to syncing RestSyncInfo.
* SSZ `[]` -> `mitem`
* `[]` -> `item`
immutable access via mutable instance cannot rely on template
overloading, and `[]` cannot be a `func` because of special seq handling
in compiler.
Other fixes:
* Fix bit rot in the `make prater-dev-deposit` target.
* Correct content-type in the responses of the Nimbus signing node
* Invalid JSON payload was being sent in the web3signer requests
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:
Pre:
```
Average, StdDev, Min, Max, Samples, Test
39.088, 8.735, 23.619, 53.301, 50, tState
237.079, 46.692, 165.620, 355.481, 49, tBlocks
```
Post:
```
All time are ms
Average, StdDev, Min, Max, Samples, Test
25.350, 5.303, 15.351, 41.856, 50, tState
141.238, 24.164, 99.990, 199.329, 49, tBlocks
```
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.
rocksdb was never actually used in nimbus-eth2 and existed only to satisfy nim-eth dependencies for test running - these have since moved to nimbus-eth1.
* bump nim-eth
`.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.
