* add some get_active_validator_index caching
* rm obsolete/unused get_attesting_indices_cached
* rm get_crosslink_committees_at_slot(...)
* some more 0.7 changes -- some of which can't be completed pending some data structure updates -- and shard handling changes to offset with epoch start shards
* update Deposit and BeaconBlockHeader to 0.7.0
* update get_total_balance(...) and get_base_reward(...) to 0.7.0
* rename initial value constant BLS_WITHDRAWAL_PREFIX_BYTE to BLS_WITHDRAWAL_PREFIX

* address mratsim's comment to copy whole spec comment
* 0.7.0 updates which don't change semantics; mostly comment changes
* mark get_attesting_indices, bls_verify, ProposerSlashing, BeaconBlockBody, deposit contract constants, state list length constants, compute_committee, get_crosslink_committee, is_slashable_attestation_data, processAttesterSlashings as 0.7.0; rename BASE_REWARD_QUOTIENT to BASE_REWARD_FACTOR
* complete marking unchanged-in-0.7.0 datatypes as such; a few more have trivial field renamings, etc
* update IndexedAttestation, verify_slashable_attestation/verify_indexed_attestation, and attester slashing processing to 0.6.3
* rm debug scaffolding
* rename Attestation.aggregate_signature -> Attestation.signature; convert various references to AttestationData.slot to get_attestation_slot; implement convert_to_indexed; update checkAttestation and processAttestations to 0.6.3; remove spurious assertion in beacon node related to invalid attestations
* replace 0.5 get_winning_root_and_participants with 0.6 get_winning_crosslink_and_attesting_indices; update process_crosslinks to 0.6.3
* mark both remaining 0.6.0 spec implementations as 0.6.3
* clear out all remaining spec version 0.6.1 refs
* GENESIS_SLOT and GENESIS_EPOCH are 0
* rm 0.5 get_attestation_participants in favor of 0.6 get_attesting_indices
* address mratsim's comment
* time can be equal to genesis
* fix invalid block assertions; those were essentially spurious
* allow toBeaconTime to handle time before genesis (in accordance with now(...) which states time can exist before GENESIS)
* Proto changes to facilitate backward sync
* Update to latest spec types in sync proto
* Use blockpool for more straightforward block headers collection
* Added BlockPool.getRef
* Update beacon_chain/sync_protocol.nim
