Jacek Sieka 6202ede3d9 implement clock disparity for attestation validation (#1568)
This implements disparity, resolving a part of
https://github.com/status-im/nim-beacon-chain/issues/1367

* make BeaconTime a duration for fractional seconds
* factor out attestation/aggregate validation
* simplify recording of queued attestations
* simplify attestation signature check
* fix blocks_received metric
* add some trivial validation tests
* remove unresolved attestation table - attestations for unknown blocks
are dropped instead (cannot verify their signature)

remove one cache, add another (#1449)
* remove one cache, add another

This cache removes the need for rewinding in most attestation validation
flow since the attestations come from one of two epochs and must be
targetting a viable block.

Additionally, it also removes all state caches which are less likely to
be used over-all - more metrics are needed to track the rewinding.

On risk is that when chains don't finalize, we'll have lots of epochrefs
in memory meaning lots of validator key databases, most being exactly
the same. This can be addressed in any number of ways. Some of the
memory usage is mitigated by the fact that we previously had lots of big
state caches and now we're keeping only keys instead.

removed the BlockPool type and all of the proxy functions around it (#1401)
* removed the BlockPool type and all of the proxy functions around it - passing the chain DAG and the quarantine explicitly where appropriately - they don't need to be bundled in a type

* fixed the build after the rebase
