Corrects a regression from #5998 that led to crashes in #6046.
In `trustedNodeSync` mode, the config does not contain genesis keys,
so attempting to load from them is a `Defect`.
Fix the `/eth/v1/beacon/deposit_snapshot` API to produce proper EIP-4881
compatible `DepositTreeSnapshot` responses. The endpoint used to expose
a Nimbus-specific database internal format.
Also fix trusted node sync to consume properly formatted EIP-4881 data
with `--with-deposit-snapshot`, and `--finalized-deposit-tree-snapshot`
beacon node launch option to use the EIP-4881 data. Further ensure that
`ncli_testnet` produces EIP-4881 formatted data for interoperability.
EIP-4881 was never correctly implemented, the `DepositTreeSnapshot`
structure has nothing to do with its actual definition. Reflect that
by renaming the type to a Nimbus-specific `DepositContractSnapshot`,
so that an actual EIP-4881 implementation can use the correct names.
- https://eips.ethereum.org/EIPS/eip-4881#specification
Notably, `DepositTreeSnapshot` contains a compressed sequence in
`finalized`, only containing the minimally required intermediate roots.
That also explains the incorrect REST response reported in #5508.
The non-canonical representation was introduced in #4303 and is also
persisted in the database. We'll have to maintain it for a while.
`nextActionWait` currently shows `n/a` if only proposal is scheduled
but no attestation, e.g., attestation was already made for current
epoch and validator is exiting next epoch so doesn't have another
attestation lined up. It's an edge case but it's still more correct
to also log `nextActionWait` if only proposal is scheduled.
When using `--external-beacon-api-url`, one has to accompany it with
either `--trusted-block-root` or `--trusted-state-root`. If neither is
specified, we can fallback to a deeply finalized noncontroversial block
root. For networks that started post Altair, e.g., Holesky, the genesis
block root fulfills that requirement, as in, it is implicitly trusted.
Therefore, if only `--external-beacon-api-url` is provided without any
`--trusted-block-root` or `--trusted-state-root`, use genesis block root
if it is a viable starting point (post-Altair).

* add EIP-7044 support to keymanager API
When trying to sign `VoluntaryExit` via keymanager API, the logic is not
yet aware of EIP-7044 (part of Deneb). This patch adds missing EIP-7044
support to the keymanager API as well.
As part of this, the VC needs to become aware about:
- `CAPELLA_FORK_VERSION`: To correctly form the EIP-7044 signing domain.
The fork schedule does not indicate which of the results, if any,
corresponds to Capella.
- `CAPELLA_FORK_EPOCH`: To detect whether Capella was scheduled.
If a BN does not have it in its config while other BNs have it,
this leads to a log if Capella has not activated yet, or marks the BN
as incompatible if Capella already activated.
- `DENEB_FORK_EPOCH`: To check whether EIP-7044 logic should be used.
Related PRs:
- #5120 added support for processing EIP-7044 `VoluntaryExit` messages
as part of the state transition functions (tested by EF spec tests).
- #5953 synced the support from #5120 to gossip validation.
- #5954 added support to the `nimbus_beacon_node deposits exit` command.
- #5956 contains an alternative generic version of `VCForkConfig`.

* track latest duration instead of total in new timing metrics
Change `db_checkpoint_seconds` and `state_replay_seconds` metrics to
record the latest duration instead of the total. `nim-metrics` already
synthesizes a `_total` metric from these implicitly.
* still have to use inc, metrics only synthesizes the name not the sum
* prefix with `beacon_dag`
Database checkpointing can take seconds, e.g., while Geth is syncing.
Add a debug log + metric for it, and also info log if it takes longer
than 250ms, same as for the existing `State replayed` log. If the log
shows up for a user while the system is not overloaded, it may point
to slow disk speed or thermal issue.
When using checkpoint sync, only checkpoint state is available, block is
not downloaded and backfilled later.
`dag.backfill` tracks latest filled `slot`, and latest `parent_root` for
which no block has been synced yet.
In checkpoint sync, this assumption is broken, because there, the start
`dag.backfill.slot` is set based on checkpoint state slot, and the block
is also not available.
However, sync manager in backward mode also requests `dag.backfill.slot`
and `block_clearance` then backfills the checkpoint block once it is
synced. But, there is no guarantee that a peer ever sends us that block.
They could send us all parent blocks and solely omit the checkpoint
block itself. In that situation, we would accept the parent blocks and
advance `dag.backfill`, and subsequently never request the checkpoint
block again, resulting in gap inside blocks DB that is never filled.
To mitigate that, the assumption is restored that `dag.backfill.slot`
is the latest filled `slot`, and `dag.backfill.parent_root` is the next
block that needs to be synced. By setting `slot` to `tail.slot + 1` and
`parent_root` to `tail.root`, we put a fake summary into `dag.backfill`
so that `block_clearance` only proceeds once checkpoint block exists.
To simplify supporting "am I ready for the fork" requests, add a simple
marker to the default status bar that indicates readiness by displaying
the fork's corresponding mascot. This is the same one that is also
displayed during the actual fork transition, so does not introduce
new dependencies. It also only shows in default status bar, not in logs.

Extend slot start message and default status bar with information about
current head fork and the next fork transition (corresponding to head).
This is useful to know whether a synced client is aware of a future fork
and can also be useful when syncing from old forks to follow progress
across the various forks.

With Capella, `bls_to_execution_change` SSE should be emitted on the
event stream whenever a new `SignedBLSToExecutionChange` is received.
Add this missing functionality for compatibility with beacon-API specs.

* make `MIN_EPOCHS_FOR_BLOB_SIDECARS_REQUESTS` configurable
Gnosis uses custom `MIN_EPOCHS_FOR_BLOB_SIDECARS_REQUESTS` to account
for the faster slot timing, so that blobs still remain available for
roughly the same amount of real time.
Also extend REST config endpoint with full config form `v1.4.0-beta.4`,
and extend compatibility checks when loading configs to reduce warnings.
Using trusted node sync currently requires to run two commands -
first the `trustedNodeSync` command to initialize the database,
followed by the regular startup command to continue syncing.
The `trustedNodeSync` options are now also available during regular
startup, and are used when the database is empty to simplify setting up
a new Nimbus beacon node. This also aligns behaviour closer with other
Ethereum consensus implementations.
The new logic only applies if the database has not yet been initialized;
same as before. Also, the database needs to be removed under the same
conditions as before when a fresh sync is desired.
