* ssz: move ref support outside
Instead of allocating ref's inside SSZ, move it to separate helper:
* makes `ref` allocations explicit
* less magic inside SSZ
* `ref` in nim generally means reference whereas SSZ was loading as
value - if a type indeed used references it would get copies instead of
references to a single value on roundtrip which is unexpected
TODO: EF tests would benefit from some refactoring since they all do the
same thing practically..

Please see the newly added 'schlesi-dev' Makefile target.
It demonstrates how the log level can be specified for individual topics.
Additionally, when connecting to testnets like 'schlesi' there will be
two additional log files produced in the working directory:
* json-log.txt
* text-log.txt (in the textblocks format)
* Add "drop by score" ability to PeerPool.
Add tests.
Fix syncmanager queue to start from most fresh data.
* Fix endless cycle at the end of syncing process.
* if we don't have validators, don't consider aggregation work
* if we do have validators, don't aggregate when we're out of sync
* when we do aggregate, use a fresh state, and not one from before
sleeping
* fix warnings by switching from deprecated chronos API addTimer(...) to setTimer(...) and removing especially some unnecessary chronicles and extras imports from test suite modules
* update a couple v0.10.1 spec references to v0.11.1
* crypto: cleanup
* fix several Defect-on-user-input
* make crypto interface more similar to secp
* use `crypto.nim` in all of nbc
* digest: raises
* fix
* vendor
* initial attestation aggregation
* fix usage of committee index, vs index in committee; uniformly set trailing/following distance; document how the only-broadcast-if mechanism works better and what aggregation already happens, not otherwise sufficiently clear; use correct BlockSlot across epoch boundaries
* address inconsistent notion of which slot in past to target for aggregate broadcast; follow 0.11.x aggregate broadcast p2p interface topic
* Fix get_slot_signature(...) call after get_domain(...) change required genesis_validators_root
* mark all spec references which aren't dealt with in other PRs as v0.11.1
* update two more spec refs to v0.11.1
* initial extended validation setup
* flesh out all TODO items for attestation and beaconblock verification
* fix finalization and add chronicles debugging messages
* directly use blockPool.headState rather than pointlessly updating it and document this constraint
* fix logic relating to first-attestation checking; support validating blocks across multiple forks
* initial 0.11.1 spec commit; no test regressions and finalizes in eth2_network_simulation
* with BLS 0.10/0.11 available, stop skipping attester slashing, proposer slashing, and voluntary exist operations fixture tests
* switch param orders to group state.{fork, genesis_validators_root}; bump spec/datatypes spec version for network purposes
* mark attestation construction and broadcast and some minimal/mainnet constants as 0.11.1-compatible; remove phase 1 sharding constants from minimal which don't exist in that preset
* Initial implementation of runtime bls skipping.
Add libnfuzz skipBLSValidation handling, check that it propagates.
* Rename skipBLSValidation -> skipBlsValidation, start skipStateRootValidation
* Replace skipValidation flags with more granular flags.
Also added skipBlockParentRootValidation flag
Mainly replaced with skipBlsValidation but also StateRoot or
BlockParentRootValidation flags where appropriate.
* Adjust interop test to pass when skipping merkle validation.
* Stop skipping validation for mainchain_monitor.
* Remove comment.
* Also skipMerkleValidation for test_beacon_chain_db.
