Doc fixes, part 2 (#4806)
* part 2 of the initial doc fixes

- spelling fixes
- grammar fixes
- em-dashes should be em-dashes (`—`): double dashes (`--`) are not rendered properly
- reduce overusage of em-dashes, some of those should be separate sentences
- use the correct syntax for notes, tips and warnings
- every sentence is in a separate line (helps with future diffs)
- add missing dots at the end of list items
- fix some lists

* sentences on separate lines in the remaining files

Support for driving multiple EL nodes from a single Nimbus BN (#4465)
* Support for driving multiple EL nodes from a single Nimbus BN

Full list of changes:

* Eth1Monitor has been renamed to ELManager to match its current
  responsibilities better.

* The ELManager is no longer optional in the code (it won't have
  a nil value under any circumstances).

* The support for subscribing for headers was removed as it only
  worked with WebSockets and contributed significant complexity
  while bringing only a very minor advantage.

* The `--web3-url` parameter has been deprecated in favor of a
  new `--el` parameter. The new parameter has a reasonable default
  value and supports specifying a different JWT for each connection.
  Each connection can also be configured with a different set of
  responsibilities (e.g. download deposits, validate blocks and/or
  produce blocks). On the command-line, these properties can be
  configured through URL properties stored in the #anchor part of
  the URL. In TOML files, they come with a very natural syntax
  (althrough the URL scheme is also supported).

* The previously scattered EL-related state and logic is now moved
  to `eth1_monitor.nim` (this module will be renamed to `el_manager.nim`
  in a follow-up commit). State is assigned properly either to the
  `ELManager` or the to individual `ELConnection` objects where
  appropriate.

  The ELManager executes all Engine API requests against all attached
  EL nodes, in parallel. It compares their results and if there is a
  disagreement regarding the validity of a certain payload, this is
  detected and the beacon node is protected from publishing a block
  with a potential execution layer consensus bug in it.

  The BN provides metrics per EL node for the number of successful or
  failed requests for each type Engine API requests. If an EL node
  goes offline and connectivity is resoted later, we report the
  problem and the remedy in edge-triggered fashion.

* More progress towards implementing Deneb block production in the VC
  and comparing the value of blocks produced by the EL and the builder
  API.

* Adds a Makefile target for the zhejiang testnet

Migrate docs to mkdocs (#3900)
`mkdocs` works with markdown similar to `mdbook` but is generally more
pleasing to the eye and has several nice UX features.

This PR does the bulk of the transition - likely, a followup would be
needed to fully make use of the extra features and navigation.

Book pages have been kept url-compatible, meaning that for the most
part, old links should continue to work!
