* Support for Gnosis Chain
`make gnosis-chain-build` will build the Nimbus gnosis chain binary,
stored in `build/nimbus_beacon_node_for_gnosis_chain`.
`make gnosis-chain` will connect to the network.
Other changes:
* Restore compilation with -d:has_genesis_detection
* Removed Makefile target related to testnet0 and testnet1
* Added more debug logging for failed peer handshakes
* Report misconfigured builds which try to embed network metadata
that is incompatible with the currently selected const preset.
* Don't bundle network metadata in minimal builds, as they are not compatible
The added options work in opt-in fashion. If they are not specified,
the server will respond to all requests as if the CORS specification
doesn't exist. This will result in errors in CORS-enabled clients.
Please note that future versions may support more than one allowed
origin. The option names will stay the same, but the user will be
able to repeat them on the command line (similar to other options
such as --web3-url).

Make `validator exit command` work both with `JSON-RPC` and `REST` APIs
Fix problem with specifying rest-url using `localhost`
Change back exit error messages in `state_transition_block`
* Store finalized block roots in database (3s startup)
When the chain has finalized a checkpoint, the history from that point
onwards becomes linear - this is exploited in `.era` files to allow
constant-time by-slot lookups.
In the database, we can do the same by storing finalized block roots in
a simple sparse table indexed by slot, bringing the two representations
closer to each other in terms of conceptual layout and performance.
Doing so has a number of interesting effects:
* mainnet startup time is improved 3-5x (3s on my laptop)
* the _first_ startup might take slightly longer as the new index is
being built - ~10s on the same laptop
* we no longer rely on the beacon block summaries to load the full dag -
this is a lot faster because we no longer have to look up each block by
parent root
* a collateral benefit is that we no longer need to load the full
summaries table into memory - we get the RSS benefits of #3164 without
the CPU hit.
Other random stuff:
* simplify forky block generics
* fix withManyWrites multiple evaluation
* fix validator key cache not being updated properly in chaindag
read-only mode
* drop pre-altair summaries from `kvstore`
* recreate missing summaries from altair+ blocks as well (in case
database has lost some to an involuntary restart)
* print database startup timings in chaindag load log
* avoid allocating superfluos state at startup
* use a recursive sql query to load the summaries of the unfinalized
blocks
Backfilling is the process of downloading historical blocks via P2P that
are required to fulfill `GetBlocksByRange` duties - this happens during
both trusted node and finalized checkpoint syncs.
In particular, backfilling happens after syncing to head, such that
attestation work can start as soon as possible.
* Fix SyncQueue initialization procedure.
Remove usage of `awaitne`.
Add cancellation support.
Remove unneeded `sleepAsync()` if peer's head is older than needed.

* Trusted node sync
Trusted node sync, aka checkpoint sync, allows syncing tyhe chain from a
trusted node instead of relying on a full sync from genesis.
Features include:
* sync from any slot, including the latest finalized slot
* backfill blocks either from the REST api (default) or p2p (#3263)
Future improvements:
* top up blocks between head in database and some other node - this
makes for an efficient backup tool
* recreate historical state to enable historical queries
* fixes
* load genesis from network metadata
* check checkpoint block root against state
* fix invalid block root in rest json decoding
* odds and ends
* retry looking for epoch-boundary checkpoint blocks
When syncing, we show how much of the sync has completed - with
checkpoint sync, the syncing does not always go from slot 0 to head, but
rather can start in the middle.
To show a consistent `%` between restarts, we introduce the concept of a
pivot point, such that if I sync 10% of the chain, then restart the
client, it picks up at 10% (instead of counting from 0).
What it looks like:
```
INF ... sync="01d12h41m (15.96%) 13.5158slots/s (QDDQDDQQDP:339018)" ...
```
Time in the beacon chain is expressed relative to the genesis time -
this PR creates a `beacon_time` module that collects helpers and
utilities for dealing the time units - the new module does not deal with
actual wall time (that's remains in `beacon_clock`).
Collecting the time related stuff in one place makes it easier to find,
avoids some circular imports and allows more easily identifying the code
actually needs wall time to operate.
* move genesis-time-related functionality into `spec/beacon_time`
* avoid using `chronos.Duration` for time differences - it does not
support negative values (such as when something happens earlier than it
should)
* saturate conversions between `FAR_FUTURE_XXX`, so as to avoid
overflows
* fix delay reporting in validator client so it uses the expected
deadline of the slot, not "closest wall slot"
* simplify looping over the slots of an epoch
* `compute_start_slot_at_epoch` -> `start_slot`
* `compute_epoch_at_slot` -> `epoch`
A follow-up PR will (likely) introduce saturating arithmetic for the
time units - this is merely code moves, renames and fixing of small
bugs.
* Harden CommitteeIndex, SubnetId, SyncSubcommitteeIndex
Harden the use of `CommitteeIndex` et al to prevent future issues by
using a distinct type, then validating before use in several cases -
datatypes in spec are kept simple though so that invalid data still can
be read.
* fix invalid epoch used in REST
`/eth/v1/beacon/states/{state_id}/committees` committee length (could
return invalid data)
* normalize some variable names
* normalize committee index loops
* fix `RestAttesterDuty` to use `uint64` for `validator_committee_index`
* validate `CommitteeIndex` on ingress in REST API
* update rest rules with stricter parsing
* better REST serializers
* save lots of memory by not using `zip` ...at least a few bytes!
* support downloading blocks / states via JSON in addition to SSZ -
slow, but needed for infura support - SSZ is still used when server
supports it
* use common forked block/state reader in REST API
* fix stack overflows in REST JSON decoder
* fix invalid serialization of `justification_bits` in
`/eth/v1/debug/beacon/states` and `/eth/v2/debug/beacon/states`
* fix REST client to use `/eth/...` instead of `/api/eth/...`, update
"default" urls to expose REST api via `/eth` as well as this is what the
standard says - `/api` was added early on based on an example "base url"
in the spec that has been removed since
* expose Nimbus REST extensions via `/nimbus` in addition to
`/api/nimbus` to stay consistent with `/eth`
* fix invalid state root when reading states via REST
* fix recursive imports in `spec/ssz_codec`
* remove usages of `serialization.useCustomSerialization` - fickle
With checkpoint sync in particular, and state pruning in the future,
loading states or state-dependent data may fail. This PR adjusts the
code to allow this to be handled gracefully.
In particular, the new availability assumption is that states are always
available for the finalized checkpoint and newer, but may fail for
anything older.
The `tail` remains the point where state loading de-facto fails, meaning
that between the tail and the finalized checkpoint, we can still get
historical data (but code should be prepared to handle this as an
error).
However, to harden the code against long replays, several operations
which are assumed to work only with non-final data (such as gossip
verification and validator duties) now limit their search horizon to
post-finalized data.
* harden several state-dependent operations by logging an error instead
of introducing a panic when state loading fails
* `withState` -> `withUpdatedState` to differentiate from the other
`withState`
* `updateStateData` can now fail if no state is found in database - it
is also hardened against excessively long replays
* `getEpochRef` can now fail when replay fails
* reject blocks with invalid target root - they would be ignored
previously
* fix recursion bug in `isProposed`
* Fix REST some rest call signatures and implement a simple API benchmark tool
* Implement #3129 (Optimized history traversals in the REST API)
Other notable changes:
The `updateStateData` procedure in the `blockchain_dag.nim` module is
optimized to not rewind down to the last snapshot state saved in the
database if the supplied input state can be used as a starting point
instead.
* Disallow await in withStateForBlockSlot
* log doppelganger detection when it activates and when it causes missed
duties
* less prominent eth1 sync progress
* log in-progress sync at notice only when actually missing duties
* better detail in replay log
* don't log finalization checkpoints - this is quite verbose when
syncing and already included in "Slot start"
Introduced in #3171, it turns out we can just follow the block headers
to achieve the same effect
* leaves the constant in the code so as to avoid confusion when reading
database that had the constant written (such as the fleet nodes and
other unstable users)
Validator monitoring based on and mostly compatible with the
implementation in Lighthouse - tracks additional logs and metrics for
specified validators so as to stay on top on performance.
The implementation works more or less the following way:
* Validator pubkeys are singled out for monitoring - these can be
running on the node or not
* For every action that the validator takes, we record steps in the
process such as messages being seen on the network or published in the
API
* When the dust settles at the end of an epoch, we report the
information from one epoch before that, which coincides with the
balances being updated - this is a tradeoff between being correct
(waiting for finalization) and providing relevant information in a
timely manner)
* SyncManager cleanups for backfill support
Cleanups, fixes and simplifications, in anticipation of backfill support
for the `SyncManager`:
* reformat sync progress indicator to show time left and % done more
prominently:
* old: `sync="sPssPsssss:2:2.4229:00h57m (2706898)"`
* new: `sync="14d12h31m (0.52%) 1.1378slots/s (wQQQQQDDQQ:1287520)"`
* reset average speed when going out of sync
* pass all block errors to sync manager, including duplicate/unviable
* penalize peers for reporting a head block that is outside of our
expected wall clock time (they're likely on a different network or
trying to disrupt sync)
* remove `SyncFailureKind` (unused)
* remove `inRange` (unused)
* add `Q` for sync queue requests that are in the `SyncQueue` but not
yet in the `BlockProcessor` queue
* update last slot in `SyncQueue` after getting peer status
* fix race condition between `wakeupWaiters` and `resetWait`, where
workers would not be correctly reset if block verification returned a
completed future without event loop
* log syncmanager direction
* Fix ordering issue.
Some of the requests size of which are not equal to `chunkSize` could be processed in wrong order which could lead to sync process freezes.
Co-authored-by: cheatfate <eugene.kabanov@status.im>
* batch-verify sync messages for a small perf boost
Generally reuses the same structure as attestation and aggregate
verification
* normalize `signatures` and `signature_batch` to use the same pattern
of verification
* normalize parameter names, order etc for signature stuff in general
* avoid calling `blsSign` directly - instead, go through `signatures`
consistently
* move quarantine outside of chaindag
The quarantine has been part of the ChainDAG for the longest time, but
this design has a few issues:
* the function in which blocks are verified and added to the dag becomes
reentrant and therefore difficult to reason about - we're currently
using a stateful flag to work around it
* quarantined blocks bypass the processing queue leading to a processing
stampede
* the quarantine flow is unsuitable for orphaned attestations - these
should also should be quarantined eventually
Instead of processing the quarantine inside ChainDAG, this PR moves
re-queueing to `block_processor` which already is responsible for
dealing with follow-up work when a block is added to the dag
This sets the stage for keeping attestations in the quarantine as well.
Also:
* make `BlockError` `{.pure.}`
* avoid use of `ValidationResult` in block clearance (that's for gossip)
Renames and cleanups split out from the validator monitoring branch, so
as to reduce conflict area vs other PR:s
* add constants for expected message timing
* name validators after the messages they validate, mostly, to make
grepping easier
* unify field naming of EpochInfo across forks to make cross-fork code
easier
* ncli_db: add putState, putBlock
These tools allow modifying an existing nimbus database for the purpose
of recovery or reorg, moving the head, tail and genesis to arbitrary
points.
* remove potentially expensive `putState` in `BeaconStateDB`
* introduce `latest_block_root` which computes the root of the latest
applied block from the `latest_block_header` field (instead of passing
it in separately)
* avoid some unnecessary BeaconState copies during init
* discover https://github.com/nim-lang/Nim/issues/19094
* prefer `HashedBeaconState` in a few places to avoid recomputing state
root
* fetch latest block root from state when creating blocks
* harden `get_beacon_proposer_index` against invalid slots and document
* move random spec function tests to `test_spec.nim`
* avoid unnecessary state root computation before block proposal
* Support starting from altair
* hide `finalized-checkpoint-` - they are incomplete and usage may cause
crashes
* remove genesis detection code (broken, obsolete)
* enable starting ChainDAG from altair checkpoints - this is a
prerequisite for checkpoint sync (TODO: backfill)
* tighten checkpoint state conditions
* show error when starting from checkpoint with existing database (not
supported)
* print rest-compatible JSON in ncli/state_sim
* altair/merge support in ncli
* more altair/merge support in ncli_db
* pre-load header to speed up loading
* fix forked block decoding
This is a temporary revert of the new logic introduced in
d6cd1cd46c, because it leads
to a memory leak in the Eth1Monitor caused by the lack of
pruning of the Eth1Chain when the validator duties are not
executed.
* fix stack overflow crash in REST/debug/getStateV2
* introduce `ForkyXxx` for generic type matching of `Xxx` across
branches (SomeHashedBeaconState -> ForkyHashedBeaconState et al) -
`Some` is already used for other types of type classes
* consolidate function naming in BeaconChainDB, use some generics
* import `forks.nim` from other spec modules and move `Forked*` helpers
around to resolve circular imports
* remove `ForkedBeaconState`, use `ForkedHashedBeaconState` throughout
(less data shuffling between the types)
* fix several cases of states being stored on stack in tests, causing
random failures on some platforms
* remove reading json support from ncli - this should be ported to the
rest json reading instead (doesn't currently work because stack sizes)
* Logging and startup improvements
Color support for released binaries!
* startup scripts no longer log to file by default - this only affects
source builds - released binaries don't support file logging
* add --log-stdout option to control logging to stdout (colors, json)
* detect tty:s vs redirected logs and log accordingly
* add option to disable log colors at runtime
* simplify several "common" logs, showing the most important information
earlier and more clearly
* remove line numbers / file information / tid - these take up space and
are of little use to end users
* still enabled in debug builds and tools
* remove `testnet_servers_image` compile-time option
* server images, released binaries and compile-from-source now offer
the same behaviour and features
* fixes https://github.com/status-im/nimbus-eth2/issues/2326
* fixes https://github.com/status-im/nimbus-eth2/issues/1794
* remove instanteneous block speed from sync message, keeping only
average

This PR continues the work in
https://github.com/status-im/nimbus-eth2/pull/2646,
https://github.com/status-im/nimbus-eth2/pull/2779 as well as past
issues with serialization and type, to disentangle SSZ from eth2 and at
the same time simplify imports and exports with a structured approach.
The principal idea here is that when a library wants to introduce SSZ
support, they do so via 3 files:
* `ssz_codecs` which imports and reexports `codecs` - this covers the
basic byte conversions and ensures no overloads get lost
* `xxx_merkleization` imports and exports `merkleization` to specialize
and get access to `hash_tree_root` and friends
* `xxx_ssz_serialization` imports and exports `ssz_serialization` to
specialize ssz for a specific library
Those that need to interact with SSZ always import the `xxx_` versions
of the modules and never `ssz` itself so as to keep imports simple and
safe.
This is similar to how the REST / JSON-RPC serializers are structured in
that someone wanting to serialize spec types to REST-JSON will import
`eth2_rest_serialization` and nothing else.
* split up ssz into a core library that is independendent of eth2 types
* rename `bytes_reader` to `codec` to highlight that it contains coding
and decoding of bytes and native ssz types
* remove tricky List init overload that causes compile issues
* get rid of top-level ssz import
* reenable merkleization tests
* move some "standard" json serializers to spec
* remove `ValidatorIndex` serialization for now
* remove test_ssz_merkleization
* add tests for over/underlong byte sequences
* fix broken seq[byte] test - seq[byte] is not an SSZ type
There are a few things this PR doesn't solve:
* like #2646 this PR is weak on how to handle root and other
dontSerialize fields that "sometimes" should be computed - the same
problem appears in REST / JSON-RPC etc
* Fix a build problem on macOS
* Another way to fix the macOS builds

The spec imports are a mess to work with, so this branch cleans them up
a bit to ensure that we avoid generic sandwitches and that importing
stuff generally becomes easier.
* reexport crypto/digest/presets because these are part of the public
symbol set of the rest of the spec types
* don't export `merge` types from `base` - this causes circular deps
* fix circular deps in `ssz/spec_types` - this is the first step in
disentangling ssz from spec
* be explicit about phase0 vs altair - longer term, `altair` will become
the "natural" type set, then merge and so on, so no point in giving
`phase0` special preferential treatment
Simpler module name for stuff that covers forks
* check that runtime config matches database state
* also include some assorted altair cleanups
* use "standard" genesis fork in local testnet to work around missing
runtime config support
This refactoring puts the JSON-RPC and REST APIs on more equal footing
by renaming and moving things around, creating a separation between
client and server, and documenting what they are - the aim is to have a
simple-to-use base to start from when developing API clients, as well as
make it easier to navigate the code when looking for the legacy JSON-RPC
interface vs the new REST API.
* move REST client, serialization and supporting types to spec/eth2_apis
* REST stuff now starts with `rest_`, JSON-RPC stuff starts with `rpc_`,
more or less
* simplify imports such that there's a simple module to import for both
server and client
* map REST type and proc names to yaml spec more closely - in
particular, reuse operation and type names in `rest_types` to make
comparisons against spec more easy
* cleaner separation between client and server modules - modules common
between server and client such as `rest_types` and serialization move to
the spec folder - this allows the client to be built with less knowledge
about server internals
* some whole-file copies from altair branch
* rpc/node_api and rpc/node_rest_api also need to be copied
* remove new sync committee-related functionality
* bump libp2p
* altair sync v2
Use V2 sync requests after the altair fork has happened, according to
the wall clock

This is the initial bulk refactor to introduce runtime config values in
a number of places, somewhat replacing the existing mechanism of loading
network metadata.
It still needs more work, this is the initial refactor that introduces
runtime configuration in some of the places that need it.
The PR changes the way presets and constants work, to match the spec. In
particular, a "preset" now refers to the compile-time configuration
while a "cfg" or "RuntimeConfig" is the dynamic part.
A single binary can support either mainnet or minimal, but not both.
Support for other presets has been removed completely (can be readded,
in case there's need).
There's a number of outstanding tasks:
* `SECONDS_PER_SLOT` still needs fixing
* loading custom runtime configs needs redoing
* checking constants against YAML file
* yeerongpilly support
`build/nimbus_beacon_node --network=yeerongpilly --discv5:no --log-level=DEBUG`
* load fork epoch from config
* fix fork digest sent in status
* nicer error string for request failures

Instead of keeping a validator key list per EpochRef, this PR introduces
a single shared validator key list in ChainDAG, and cleans up some other
ChainDAG and key-related issues.
The PR does not introduce the validator key list in the state transition
- this is because we batch-check all signatures before entering the spec
code, thus the spec code never hits the cache.
A future refactor should _probably_ remove the threadvar altogether.
There's a few other small fixes in here that make the flow easier to
read:
* fix `var ChainDAGRef` -> `ChainDAGRef`
* fix `var QuarantineRef` -> `QuarantineRef`
* consistent `dag` variable name
* avoid using threadvar pubkey cache in most cases
* better error messages in batch signature checking
This way we perform the expensive epoch processing before the block
arrives.
Of course, this may lead to speculative misses which in turn lead to
replays - it's likely that in the case of a miss, we'll see a replay
regardless.
* gossip_to_consensus -> block_processor (it's processing only blocks,
but not only from gossip)
* measure queue and validation time for blocks
* measure assignment and state loading times for updateStateData
* avoid some unnecessary block copies in block sync
* warn that database is corrupt if we hit tail without a state
This reverts commit eebc828778.
Adding a separate file turns out not to be enough. This PR reverts the
separate file change.
Another theory is that the large kvstore table causes cache thrashing -
all database connections share a common page cache which would explain
the poor performance of the separate file solution.
The V1 table structure shows great improvements in performance, but if
there's an old `kvstore` without rowid:s, these benefits are nullified:
reorgs during writes and deletes remain expensive (even if the
degradation is reduced somewhat).
This PR creates the tables in a new file instead, and uses the old file
as a read-only store - this has several interesting properties:
* the old database is left completely untouched - this guarantees that
downgrades work smooth (they'll only need to resync their missing
portions)
* starting sync after this PR means only a v1 database is created
* v0 databases stick around - no migration is performed (for now)
Future PR:s can introduce migration of the data from one database to
another - a simply copy will take hours which is downtime we want to
avoid - at that point, it might make sense to migrate straight to era
files instead.

The `kvstore` design we're using now turns out to not be the best way to
use `sqlite` - in particular, there are some significant benefits to
using rowid in certain situations and to keep data in separate tables.
With this branch, there are massive improvements in startup time
(seconds instead of minutes) and state/block storage and pruning times
(milliseconds instead of seconds) - these improvements can in particular
be seen on slow drives and translate directly into better attestation
performance.
* update kvstore to new keyspace design
* remove `DirStoreRef` and the hidden `--state-db-kind` option - this
was an experiment to store large blobs in files, but with the new
kvstore, there's no compelling reason to do so
* remove `DbMap` - unused and would need updating for new keyspace
design
* introduce separate tables for each data type (blocks, states etc)
* remove "WITHOUT ROWID" pessimization for tables with large blobs
* close DbSeq statements explicitly (and earlier)
* store beacon block summaries in separate table, without SSZ
compression and load them all with single query on startup
* stop storing backwards compat full states
* mark genesis beacon block as trusted
* avoid faststreams when loading SSZ data
* remove `DisagreementBehavior` (unused)
This PR decreases the lead subscription time which should help
decrease bandwidth usage and CPU making the subscription for future
aggregation happen a bit later. There's room for more tuning here,
probably.
* fix missing negation from in #2550
* fix silly bitarray issues
* decrease subnet lead subscription time
* log all subnet switching source data
* rename subnet trackers to refer to stability and aggregate subnets
* more tests
Currently, we have a bit of a convoluted flow where when sending
attestations, we start broadcasting them over gossip then pass them to
the attestation validation to include them in the local attestation pool
- it should be the other way around: we should be checking attestations
_before_ gossipping them - this serves as an additional safety net to
ensure that we don't publish junk - this becomes more important when
publishing attestations from the API.
Also, the REST API was performing its own validation meaning
attestations coming from REST would be validated twice - finally, the
JSON RPC wasn't pre-validating and would happily broadcast invalid
attestations.
* Unified attestation production pipeline with the same flow for gossip,
locally and API-produced attestations: all are now validated and entered
into the pool, then broadcast/republished
* Refactor subnet handling with specific SubnetId alias, streamlining
where subnets are computed, avoiding the need to pass around the number
of active validators
* Move some of the subnet handling code to eth2_network
* Use BitArray throughout for subnet handling
This PR reduces the number of database queries for slashing protection
from 5 reads and 1 write to 2 reads and 1 write in the optimistic case.
In the process, it removes user-level support for writing the database
in the version 1 format in order to simplify the code flow, and prevent
code rot. In particular, the v1 format was not covered by any unit tests
and has no advantages over v2. The concrete code to read and write it
remains for now, in particular to support upgrades from v1 to v2.
The branch also removes the use of concepts which doesn't work with
checked exceptions - in particular, this highlights code that both
raises exceptions and returns error codes, which could be cleaned up in
the future.
* Cache internal validator ID
* Rely on unique index to check for trivial duplicate votes
* Combine two surround vote queries into one
* Combine API for checking and registering slashing into single function
The slashing DB is normally not a bottleneck, but may become one with
high attached validator counts.
With the introduction of batching and lazy attestation aggregation, it
no longer makes sense to enqueue attestations between the signature
check and adding them to the attestation pool - this only takes up
valuable CPU without any real benefit.
* add successfully validated attestations to attestion pool directly
* avoid copying participant list around for single-vote attestations,
pass single validator index instead
* release decompressed gossip memory earlier, specially during async
message validation
* use cooked signatures in a few more places to avoid reloads and errors
* remove some Defect-raising versions of signature-loading

* Try to remove the processing loop to no avail :/
* batch aggregates
* use resultsBuffer size for triggering deadline schedule
* pass attestation pool tests
* Introduce async gossip validators. May fix the 4096 bug (reentrancy issue?) (similar to sync unknown blocks #1518)
* Put logging at debug level, add speed info

* downgrade some logs to trace level
* better comments [skip ci]
* Address most review comments
* only use ref for async proc

* make subnet cycling more robust; use one stability subnet/validator; explicitly represent gossip enabled/disabled
* fix asymmetry in _snappy being used for subscriptions but not unsubscriptions
* remove redundant comment
* minimal RPC and VC support for infoming BN of subnets
* create and verify slot signatures in RPC interface and VC
* loosen old slot check
* because Slot + uint64 works but uint64 + Slot doesn't
* document assumptions for head state use; don't clear stability subnets; guard against VC not having checked an epoch ahead, fixing a crash; clarify unsigned comparison
* revert unsub fix
* checkpoint database at end of each slot
To avoid spending time on synchronizing with the file system while doing
processing, the manual checkpointing mode turns off fsync during
processing and instead checkpoints the database when the slot has ended.
From an sqlite perspecitve, in WAL mode this guaranees database
consistency but may lead to data loss which is fine - anything missing
from the beacon chain database can be recovered on the next startup.
* log sync status and delay in slot start message
* bump
* Handle some web3 timeouts better
* Add support for developer .env files
* Eth1 improvements; Mainnet genesis state
Notable changes:
* The deposits table have been removed from the database. The client
will no longer process all deposits on start-up.
* The network metadata now includes a "state snapshot" of the deposit
contract. This allows the client to skip syncing deposits made prior
to the snapshot (i.e. genesis). Suitable metadata added for Pyrmont
and Mainnet.
* The Eth1 monitor won't be started unless there are validators attached
to the node.
* The genesis detection code is now optional and disabled by default
* Bugfix: The client should not produce blocks that will fail validation
when it hasn't downloaded the latest deposits yet
* Bugfix: Work around the database corruption affecting Pyrmont nodes
* Remove metadata for Toledo and Medalla
* log when database is loading (to avoid confusion)
* generate network keys later during startup
* fix quarantine not scheduling chain of parents for download and
increase size to one epoch
* log validator count, enr and peerid more clearly on startup
* Avoid hangs when wss:// is specified for a non-secure HTTP server
* Produce an ERROR when the web3 provider is unsupported, but still launch the node
