time: spring cleaning (#3262)
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.

Keep cooked pubkeys in cache (#3122)
Turning uncompressed pubkeys into cooked ones is fast, but unnecessary -
this should avoid a little work for every signature validation we do by
pre-loading them at startup.

rework spec imports (#2779)
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

write uncompressed validator keys to database (#2639)
* write uncompressed validator keys to database

Loading 150k+ validator keys on startup in compressed format takes a lot
of time - better store them in uncompressed format which makes behaviour
just after startup faster / more predictable.

* refactor cached validator key access
* fix isomorphic cast to work with non-var instances
* remove cooked pubkey cache - directly use database cache in chaindag
as well (one less cache to keep in sync)
* bump blscurve, introduce loadValid for known-to-be-valid keys

Jacek Sieka abe0d7b4ae singe validator key cache
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

Reset cached indices when resetting cache on SSZ read (#2480)
* Reset cached indices when resetting cache on SSZ read

When deserializing into an existing structure, the cache should be
cleared - goes for json also. Also improve error messages.

immutable validator database factoring (#2297)
* initial immutable validator database factoring

* remove changes from chain_dag: this abstraction properly belongs in beacon_chain_db

* add merging mutable/immutable validator portions; individually test database roundtripping of immutable validators and states-sans-immutable-validators

* update test summaries

* use stew/assign2 instead of Nim assignment

* add reading/writing of immutable validators in chaindag

* remove unused import

* replace chunked k/v store of immutable validators with per-row SQL table storage

* use List instead of HashList

* un-stub some ncli_db code so that it uses

* switch HashArray to array; move BeaconStateNoImmutableValidators from datatypes to beacon_chain_db

* begin only-mutable-part state storage

* uncomment some assigns

* work around https://github.com/nim-lang/Nim/issues/17253

* fix most of the issues/oversights; local sim runs again

* fix test suite by adding missing beaconstate field to copy function

* have ncli bench also store immutable validators

* extract some immutable-validator-specific code from the beacon chain db module

* add more rigorous database state roundtripping, with changing validator sets

* adjust ncli_db to use new schema

* simplify putState/getState by moving all immutable validator accounting into beacon state DB

* remove redundant test case and move code to immutable-beacon-chain module

* more efficient, but still brute-force, mutable+immutable validator merging

* reuse BeaconState in getState

* ensure HashList/HashArray caches are cleared when reusing getState buffers; add ncli_db and a unit test to verify this

* HashList.clear() -> HashList.clearCache()

* only copy incrementally necessary immutable validators

* increase strictness of test cases and fix/work around resulting HashList cache invalidation issues

* remove explanatory scaffolding

* allow for storage of full (with all validators) states for backwards/forwards-compatibility

* adjust DbSeq type usage

* store full, with-validators, state every 64 epochs to enable reverting versions

* reduce memory allocation and intermediate objects in state storage codepath

* eliminate allocation/copying through intermediate BeaconStateNoImmutableValidators objects

* skip benchmarking initial genesis-validator-heavy state store

* always store new-style state and sometimes old-style state

* document intent behind BeaconState/Validator type-punnery

* more accurate failure message on SQLite in-memory database initialization failure
