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
* use StateData in place of BeaconState outside state transition code
* propagate more StateData usage
* remove withStateVars().state
* wrap get_beacon_committee(BeaconState, ...) as gbc(StateData, ...)
* switch makeAttestation() to use StateData
* use StateData wrapper/dispatcher for get_committee_count_per_slot()
* convert AttestationCache.init(), weak subjectivity functions, and updateValidatorMetrics()
* add get_shuffled_active_validator_indices(StateData) and get_block_root_at_slot(StateData)
* switch makeAttestationData() to StateData
* sync AllTests-mainnet.md after rebase
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
