* Use final `v1` version for light client protocols
* Unhide LC data collection options
* Default enable LC data serving
* rm unneeded import
* Connect to EL on startup
* Add docs for LC based EL sync
`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!

* update docs
* introduce mdbook-admonish for nice looking callouts
* new section on data directory
* recommend source build for advanced users and direct the rest to
binaries
* more strongly highlight that execution client is needed
* write an actual deposit guide
* remove cruft / fix links / etc
* remove web3 url prompt in launcher script
The interactive prompt for web3 has outlived its utility as we now load
url:s from command line params and config files, preventing the prompt
from correctly detecting when it's needed.
Also, after the merge, a JWT secret will (likely) be needed.
* log notice when web3 url is missing
* fix docs to not mention default that doesn't exist
* fix scripts to properly quote arguments
* systemd: use same service file as package
* systemd: recommend setting up a user
* clean up obsolete / ephemeral notes
* eth1 -> execution, in many places
* clean up docker instructions to match the experience of running the
runner script
* add basic instructions / links for execution clients other than geth
* clear a few more references to JSON-RPC, update to REST
* update hardware requirements with execution client extras
* start talking about merge requirements (this needs a dedicated page)
* note that binaries do exist, where relevant
* list gitcoin under donations
* update syncing docs
* `NOT` is for `NOTICE` in logs
* update rpi hardware recommendations
* prevent automatic doppelganger restarts in systemd service file
Validator monitoring improves logging by giving more specific monitoring
information, and can now be seen as complete.
Previously, logging has focused on "Attestation sent" messages which
carry little informational value when things go wrong, and are overly
aggressive when everything works as expected (sending attestations is
the norm).
* lower "Attestation sent" log to `INFO`
* mark 1.7.0 as the start of the validator monitor feature - previous
versions had significant bugs in totals mode
The `pyrmont` testnet has been discontinued.
For experiments, it's still possible to run pyrmont nodes by passing a
genesis/config, but this PR removes the bundled `--network:pyrmont`
option.
* update docs
* remove empty docs
* remove obsolete `eth2-stats` page
When performing trusted node sync, historical access is limited to
states after the checkpoint.
Reindexing restores full historical access by replaying historical
blocks against the state and storing snapshots in the database.
The process can be initiated or resumed at any point in time.
* book: add trusted node sync to index
...and some doc updates
* Update docs/the_nimbus_book/src/start-syncing.md

I found this documentation a little confusing because it says "you must" leading me to think there may be some kind of dire consequences for NOT having it synced before starting the validator (in the context of importing existing keys from another setup, not starting a new validator with a new deposit). Modifying the language to make the consequences of not having the syncing done clear.
* Trusted node sync
Trusted node sync, aka checkpoint sync, allows syncing tyhe chain from a
trusted node instead of relying on a full sync from genesis.
Features include:
* sync from any slot, including the latest finalized slot
* backfill blocks either from the REST api (default) or p2p (#3263)
Future improvements:
* top up blocks between head in database and some other node - this
makes for an efficient backup tool
* recreate historical state to enable historical queries
* fixes
* load genesis from network metadata
* check checkpoint block root against state
* fix invalid block root in rest json decoding
* odds and ends
* retry looking for epoch-boundary checkpoint blocks
* min viable changes
* make clear keymanager api is not ready for mainnet
* Update docs/the_nimbus_book/src/keymanager-api.md

when using the REST interface with validator clients

* Fix REST some rest call signatures and implement a simple API benchmark tool
* Implement #3129 (Optimized history traversals in the REST API)
Other notable changes:
The `updateStateData` procedure in the `blockchain_dag.nim` module is
optimized to not rewind down to the last snapshot state saved in the
database if the supplied input state can be used as a starting point
instead.
* Disallow await in withStateForBlockSlot
