- process_attestation cannot fail
- try/except as expression pending Nim v1.2.0
- cleanup TODOs
* re-enable all sanity checks
* tag no raise for process_attestation
* use raises defect everywhere in fork choice and fix process_attestation test
* initial attestation aggregation
* fix usage of committee index, vs index in committee; uniformly set trailing/following distance; document how the only-broadcast-if mechanism works better and what aggregation already happens, not otherwise sufficiently clear; use correct BlockSlot across epoch boundaries
