Normally, running LC and DAG sync at same time is fine, but on tiny
devnet where some peer may not support the LC data, we can end up in
situation where peer gets disconnected when DAG is in sync, because
DAG sync never uses any req/resp on local devnet (perfect nw conditions)
so the LC sync over minutes removes the peer as sync is stuck.
We don't need to actively sync LC from network if DAG is already synced,
preventing this specific low peer devnet issue (there are others still).
LC is still locally updated when DAG finalized checkpoint advances.
* Fix blob syncing for Electra
`BlobSidecar` requests on libp2p have a context prefix based on:
> The `<context-bytes>` field is calculated as context =
> `compute_fork_digest(fork_version, genesis_validators_root)`
We currently only process blobs if that indicates Deneb, meaning that
on Electra we incorrectly report `InvalidContextBytes` and refuse to
process the blob response data.
Fix this, and also ensure that the code no longer needs maintenance
with every fork unrelated to blobs.
* fix
The fallback when blobless quarantine contains a block with all blobs
modifies collection while iterating, potentially asserting if reachable.
Using a second loop to process this situation resolves that.
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.

In split view situation, the canonical chain may only be served by a
tiny amount of peers, and branches may span long durations. Minority
branches may still have a large weight from attestations and should
be discovered. To assist with that, add a branch discovery module that
assists in such a situation by specifically targeting peers with unknown
histories and downloading from them, in addition to sync manager work
which handles popular branches.
When checking for `MissingParent`, it may be that the parent block was
already discovered as part of a prior run. In that case, it can be
loaded from storage and processed without having to rediscover the
entire branch from the network. This is similar to #6112 but for blocks
that are discovered via gossip / sync mgr instead of via request mgr.
During sync, we can skip the `blobSidecarsByRange` request when there
are no blocks with `kzg_commitments` in the blocks data. Avoids running
into throttling from peers during long periods of non-finality.
Each individual blob currently uses as much quota from the network limit
as an entire block does, 128 items per second shared across all peers.
Blobs are 128 KB each instead of up to several MB and are simpler to
encode. There can be multiple per block (6 currently), so allow 2000
blobs per second across all peers. That decreases the cost per block
from `3125 + 3125 * blobs.len` quota (= `[3125, 21875]`) to a lower
`3125 + 200 * blobs.len` quota (= `[3125, 4325]`), accounting for the
slight increase in data transfer and encoding time.
When restarting beacon node, orphaned blocks remain in the database but
on startup, only the canonical chain as selected by fork choice loads.
When a new block is discovered that builds on top of an orphaned block,
the orphaned block is re-downloaded using sync/request manager, despite
it already being present on disk. Such queries can be answered locally
to improve discovery speed of alternate forks.
Avoid marking blocks invalid when corresponding `blobSidecarsByRange`
returns an incomplete / incorrect response while syncing. The block
itself may still be valid in that scenario.
* Avoid global in p2p macro (fixes#4578)
* copy p2p macro to this repo and start de-crufting it
* make protocol registration dynamic, removing light client hacks et al
* split out light client protocol into its own file
* cleanups
* Option -> Opt
* remove more cruft
* further split beacon_sync
this allows the light client to respond to peer metadata messages
without exposing the block sync protocol
* better protocol init
* "constant" protocol index
* avoid casts
* copyright
* move some discovery code to discovery
* avoid extraneous data copy when sending chunks
* remove redundant forkdigest field
* document how to connect to a specific peer
* make `MIN_EPOCHS_FOR_BLOB_SIDECARS_REQUESTS` configurable
Gnosis uses custom `MIN_EPOCHS_FOR_BLOB_SIDECARS_REQUESTS` to account
for the faster slot timing, so that blobs still remain available for
roughly the same amount of real time.
Also extend REST config endpoint with full config form `v1.4.0-beta.4`,
and extend compatibility checks when loading configs to reduce warnings.
Directly initialize `ForkedLightClientObj` instead of separately first
setting the `kind` (initializing everything to zero) and then assigning
the forky data after that.
