testblockutil currently fails to add test blocks to Altair state because
it assumes phase0 blocks in various places. This patch corrects this
limitation by using forked types internally. Note that existing clients
so far solely operate on phase0 blocks and should eventually be updated.
* Add parallel attestation verification
* Update tests, batchVerify doesn't use the threadpool with only single core (nim-blscurve update)
* bump nim-blscurve
* Debug info for failing eth2 test vectors
* remove submodule eth2-testnets
* verbose debugging of make failure on Windows (libbacktrace?)
* Remove CI debug mode
* initialization convention
* Fix new altair tests
When creating beacon blocks, the state needs to be advanced to the new
slot to determine the correct proposer index. In #875 a regression got
introduced that removed this logic when mocking blocks. Existing tests
failed to detect this, as they do not make use of the proposer index.
This patch re-introduces the state advancement, fixing the problem.
Currently, only the function to mock a block at next slot is exported.
A more generic function that allows specifying any slot is available but
not exported. This patch marks that function to also be exported.
The mocking framework was limited to chain configurations that do not
include Altair at genesis. This patch extends it so that genesis states
can be generated that are already upgraded to Altair. This is useful for
tests such as eth2spec/test/altair/unittests/test_sync_protocol.py.
The `initGenesisState` function to mock genesis states for testing was
originally introduced with a `genesis_time` parameter in #326. However,
this parameter was never respected and genesis state was always mocked
with `genesis_time` assumed to be 0. Since there is no test overriding
`genesis_time`, the parameter is removed until needed.

This PR continues the work in
https://github.com/status-im/nimbus-eth2/pull/2646,
https://github.com/status-im/nimbus-eth2/pull/2779 as well as past
issues with serialization and type, to disentangle SSZ from eth2 and at
the same time simplify imports and exports with a structured approach.
The principal idea here is that when a library wants to introduce SSZ
support, they do so via 3 files:
* `ssz_codecs` which imports and reexports `codecs` - this covers the
basic byte conversions and ensures no overloads get lost
* `xxx_merkleization` imports and exports `merkleization` to specialize
and get access to `hash_tree_root` and friends
* `xxx_ssz_serialization` imports and exports `ssz_serialization` to
specialize ssz for a specific library
Those that need to interact with SSZ always import the `xxx_` versions
of the modules and never `ssz` itself so as to keep imports simple and
safe.
This is similar to how the REST / JSON-RPC serializers are structured in
that someone wanting to serialize spec types to REST-JSON will import
`eth2_rest_serialization` and nothing else.
* split up ssz into a core library that is independendent of eth2 types
* rename `bytes_reader` to `codec` to highlight that it contains coding
and decoding of bytes and native ssz types
* remove tricky List init overload that causes compile issues
* get rid of top-level ssz import
* reenable merkleization tests
* move some "standard" json serializers to spec
* remove `ValidatorIndex` serialization for now
* remove test_ssz_merkleization
* add tests for over/underlong byte sequences
* fix broken seq[byte] test - seq[byte] is not an SSZ type
There are a few things this PR doesn't solve:
* like #2646 this PR is weak on how to handle root and other
dontSerialize fields that "sometimes" should be computed - the same
problem appears in REST / JSON-RPC etc
* Fix a build problem on macOS
* Another way to fix the macOS builds

The spec imports are a mess to work with, so this branch cleans them up
a bit to ensure that we avoid generic sandwitches and that importing
stuff generally becomes easier.
* reexport crypto/digest/presets because these are part of the public
symbol set of the rest of the spec types
* don't export `merge` types from `base` - this causes circular deps
* fix circular deps in `ssz/spec_types` - this is the first step in
disentangling ssz from spec
* be explicit about phase0 vs altair - longer term, `altair` will become
the "natural" type set, then merge and so on, so no point in giving
`phase0` special preferential treatment
Simpler module name for stuff that covers forks
* check that runtime config matches database state
* also include some assorted altair cleanups
* use "standard" genesis fork in local testnet to work around missing
runtime config support
* update validator key cache on startup
Versions prior to 1.1.0 do not write a validator key cache at all.
Versions from 1.4.0 and upwards require an immutable validator key cache
to verify blocks - normally, block verification fills the cache but that
assumes that at least one block was verified by a version that has the
key cache.
Taken together, this breaks direct upgrades from anything <1.1.0 to
1.4.0.
The fix is simply to refresh fill the cache from an existing state on
startup.
* also log serious block validation failures at info level
* bump libp2p
* altair sync v2
Use V2 sync requests after the altair fork has happened, according to
the wall clock
* Fix the behavior of the v1 req/resp calls after Altair

* Implement split preset/config support
This is the initial bulk refactor to introduce runtime config values in
a number of places, somewhat replacing the existing mechanism of loading
network metadata.
It still needs more work, this is the initial refactor that introduces
runtime configuration in some of the places that need it.
The PR changes the way presets and constants work, to match the spec. In
particular, a "preset" now refers to the compile-time configuration
while a "cfg" or "RuntimeConfig" is the dynamic part.
A single binary can support either mainnet or minimal, but not both.
Support for other presets has been removed completely (can be readded,
in case there's need).
There's a number of outstanding tasks:
* `SECONDS_PER_SLOT` still needs fixing
* loading custom runtime configs needs redoing
* checking constants against YAML file
* yeerongpilly support
`build/nimbus_beacon_node --network=yeerongpilly --discv5:no --log-level=DEBUG`
* load fork epoch from config
* fix fork digest sent in status
* nicer error string for request failures
* fix tools
* one more
* fixup
* fixup
* fixup
* use "standard" network definition folder in local testnet
Files are loaded from their standard locations, including genesis etc,
to conform to the format used in the `eth2-networks` repo.
* fix launch scripts, allow unknown config values
* fix base config of rest test
* cleanups
* bundle mainnet config using common loader
* fix spec links and names
* only include supported preset in binary
* drop yeerongpilly, add altair-devnet-0, support boot_enr.yaml

* add database support for Altair blocks and states
* add tests for Altair get/put/contains/delete state
* enable blockchain_dag Altair state database storing
* properly return error on getting missing altair block
* add Altair support to the block quarantine
* switch some spec/datatypes imports to spec/datatypes/base
* add Altair support to block_clearance
* allow runtime configuration of Altair transition slot
* enable Altair in block_sim, including in CI
* remove false OnBlockAdded dependency on phase.HashedBeaconState
* introduce altair data types into block_clearance; update some alpha.6 spec refs to alpha.7; add get_active_validator_indices_len ForkedHashedBeaconState wrapper
* switch many modules from using datatypes (with phase0 states/blocks) to datatypes/base (fork-independent); update spec refs from alpha.6 to alpha.7 and remove rm'd G2_POINT_AT_INFINITY
* switch more modules from using datatypes (with phase0 states/blocks) to datatypes/base (fork-independent); update spec refs from alpha.6 to alpha.7

* remove withStateVars.hashedState(), which doesn't work as a design anymore
* introduce spec/datatypes/altair into beacon_chain_db
* fix inefficient codegen for getStateField(largeStateField)
* state_transition_slots() doesn't either need/use blocks or runtime presets
* combine process_slots(HBS)/state_transition_slots(HBS) which differ only in last-slot htr optimization
* getStateField(StateData, ...) was replaced by getStateField(ForkedHashedBeaconState, ...)

* switch back from nested-ref-object construction to (ref Foo)(Bar())
* write uncompressed validator keys to database
Loading 150k+ validator keys on startup in compressed format takes a lot
of time - better store them in uncompressed format which makes behaviour
just after startup faster / more predictable.
* refactor cached validator key access
* fix isomorphic cast to work with non-var instances
* remove cooked pubkey cache - directly use database cache in chaindag
as well (one less cache to keep in sync)
* bump blscurve, introduce loadValid for known-to-be-valid keys
* load the cache of the current state epoch instead of the target state
epoch, when applying states and slots
* load state cache for each slot/block (for longer slot jumps)
* load state cache after full updateStateData
* look up two state cache epochs, instead of the same epoch twice :)
Instead of keeping a validator key list per EpochRef, this PR introduces
a single shared validator key list in ChainDAG, and cleans up some other
ChainDAG and key-related issues.
The PR does not introduce the validator key list in the state transition
- this is because we batch-check all signatures before entering the spec
code, thus the spec code never hits the cache.
A future refactor should _probably_ remove the threadvar altogether.
There's a few other small fixes in here that make the flow easier to
read:
* fix `var ChainDAGRef` -> `ChainDAGRef`
* fix `var QuarantineRef` -> `QuarantineRef`
* consistent `dag` variable name
* avoid using threadvar pubkey cache in most cases
* better error messages in batch signature checking
* update ChainDAG.effective_balance() to use StateData; rm unused ChainDAG.getBlockByPreciseSlot()
* update get_effective_balances to avoid god object; avoid most memory allocation in Altair epoch reward and penalty processing
* gossip_to_consensus -> block_processor (it's processing only blocks,
but not only from gossip)
* measure queue and validation time for blocks
* measure assignment and state loading times for updateStateData
* avoid some unnecessary block copies in block sync
* warn that database is corrupt if we hit tail without a state
* proposed structure for hf1
* refactor datatypes.nim into datatypes/{base, phase0, hf1}.nim
* hf1 is Altair
* some syncing with alpha 2
* adjust epoch processing to disambiguate access to RewardFlags
* relocate StateData to stay consistent with meaning phase 0 StateData
* passes v1.1.0 alpha 5 SSZ consensus object tests
* Altair block header test fixtures work
* fix slash_validator() so that Altair attester slashings, proposer slashings, and voluntary exit textures work
* deposit operation Altair test fixtures work
* slot sanity and all but a couple epoch transition tests switched to Altair
* attestation Altair test fixtures work
* Altair block sanity test fixtures work
* add working altair sync committee tests
* improve workarounds for sum-types-across-modules Nim bug; incorporate SignedBeaconBlock root reconstuction to SSZ byte reader
* use StateData in place of BeaconState outside state transition code
* propagate more StateData usage

This reverts commit 6057c2ffb4.

Not a problem earlier because we didn't reuse instances

The `kvstore` design we're using now turns out to not be the best way to
use `sqlite` - in particular, there are some significant benefits to
using rowid in certain situations and to keep data in separate tables.
With this branch, there are massive improvements in startup time
(seconds instead of minutes) and state/block storage and pruning times
(milliseconds instead of seconds) - these improvements can in particular
be seen on slow drives and translate directly into better attestation
performance.
* update kvstore to new keyspace design
* remove `DirStoreRef` and the hidden `--state-db-kind` option - this
was an experiment to store large blobs in files, but with the new
kvstore, there's no compelling reason to do so
* remove `DbMap` - unused and would need updating for new keyspace
design
* introduce separate tables for each data type (blocks, states etc)
* remove "WITHOUT ROWID" pessimization for tables with large blobs
* close DbSeq statements explicitly (and earlier)
* store beacon block summaries in separate table, without SSZ
compression and load them all with single query on startup
* stop storing backwards compat full states
* mark genesis beacon block as trusted
* avoid faststreams when loading SSZ data
* remove `DisagreementBehavior` (unused)
This PR decreases the lead subscription time which should help
decrease bandwidth usage and CPU making the subscription for future
aggregation happen a bit later. There's room for more tuning here,
probably.
* fix missing negation from in #2550
* fix silly bitarray issues
* decrease subnet lead subscription time
* log all subnet switching source data
* rename subnet trackers to refer to stability and aggregate subnets
* more tests
Currently, we have a bit of a convoluted flow where when sending
attestations, we start broadcasting them over gossip then pass them to
the attestation validation to include them in the local attestation pool
- it should be the other way around: we should be checking attestations
_before_ gossipping them - this serves as an additional safety net to
ensure that we don't publish junk - this becomes more important when
publishing attestations from the API.
Also, the REST API was performing its own validation meaning
attestations coming from REST would be validated twice - finally, the
JSON RPC wasn't pre-validating and would happily broadcast invalid
attestations.
* Unified attestation production pipeline with the same flow for gossip,
locally and API-produced attestations: all are now validated and entered
into the pool, then broadcast/republished
* Refactor subnet handling with specific SubnetId alias, streamlining
where subnets are computed, avoiding the need to pass around the number
of active validators
* Move some of the subnet handling code to eth2_network
* Use BitArray throughout for subnet handling
This also makes future efforts to provide metrics and logs for
attestation efficiency easier
* Export rewards from epoch transition
* Use less memory for reward calculation (bool -> set[enum], field
alignment)
* Reuse reward memory when replaying, avoiding spike
* Allow replaying any range in ncli_db benchmark
When applying a block, we'll currently compute a state root for the
state after slot processing but before block processing - this is
unnecessary when a block is being applied because the intermediate state
root is never observed.
This PR reduces the number of database queries for slashing protection
from 5 reads and 1 write to 2 reads and 1 write in the optimistic case.
In the process, it removes user-level support for writing the database
in the version 1 format in order to simplify the code flow, and prevent
code rot. In particular, the v1 format was not covered by any unit tests
and has no advantages over v2. The concrete code to read and write it
remains for now, in particular to support upgrades from v1 to v2.
The branch also removes the use of concepts which doesn't work with
checked exceptions - in particular, this highlights code that both
raises exceptions and returns error codes, which could be cleaned up in
the future.
* Cache internal validator ID
* Rely on unique index to check for trivial duplicate votes
* Combine two surround vote queries into one
* Combine API for checking and registering slashing into single function
The slashing DB is normally not a bottleneck, but may become one with
high attached validator counts.
* Introduce unittest2 and junit reports
* fix XML path
* don't combine multiple CI runs
* fixup
* public combined report also

With the introduction of batching and lazy attestation aggregation, it
no longer makes sense to enqueue attestations between the signature
check and adding them to the attestation pool - this only takes up
valuable CPU without any real benefit.
* add successfully validated attestations to attestion pool directly
* avoid copying participant list around for single-vote attestations,
pass single validator index instead
* release decompressed gossip memory earlier, specially during async
message validation
* use cooked signatures in a few more places to avoid reloads and errors
* remove some Defect-raising versions of signature-loading
* release decompressed data memory before validating message
This is a revamp of the attestation pool that cleans up several aspects
of attestation processing as the network grows larger and block space
becomes more precious.
The aim is to better exploit the divide between attestation subnets and
aggregations by keeping the two kinds separate until it's time to either
produce a block or aggregate. This means we're no longer eagerly
combining single-vote attestations, but rather wait until the last
moment, and then try to add singles to all aggregates, including those
coming from the network.
Importantly, the branch improves on poor aggregate quality and poor
attestation packing in cases where block space is running out.
A basic greed scoring mechanism is used to select attestations for
blocks - attestations are added based on how much many new votes they
bring to the table.
* Collect single-vote attestations separately and store these until it's
time to make aggregates
* Create aggregates based on single-vote attestations
* Select _best_ aggregate rather than _first_ aggregate when on
aggregation duty
* Top up all aggregates with singles when it's time make the attestation
cut, thus improving the chances of grabbing the best aggregates out
there
* Improve aggregation test coverage
* Improve bitseq operations
* Simplify aggregate signature creation
* Make attestation cache temporary instead of storing it in attestation
pool - most of the time, blocks are not being produced, no need to keep
the data around
* Remove redundant aggregate storage that was used only for RPC
* Use tables to avoid some linear seeks when looking up attestation data
* Fix long cleanup on large slot jumps
* Avoid some pointers
* Speed up iterating all attestations for a slot (fixes#2490)
* only deserialize attestation and aggregation gossiped signatures once
* re-indent some aggregate checks into block scope
* spelling
* remove debugging assertion
* put part of gossip validation back into block context
* attestation pool test signature loading isn't so unsafe, and exportRaw isn't free
* remove more development doAsserts; don't exportRaw in loops
* Reset cached indices when resetting cache on SSZ read
When deserializing into an existing structure, the cache should be
cleared - goes for json also. Also improve error messages.
* batch attestations
* Fixes (but now need to investigate the chronos 0 .. 4095 crash similar to https://github.com/status-im/nimbus-eth2/issues/1518
* Try to remove the processing loop to no avail :/
* batch aggregates
* use resultsBuffer size for triggering deadline schedule
* pass attestation pool tests
* Introduce async gossip validators. May fix the 4096 bug (reentrancy issue?) (similar to sync unknown blocks #1518)
* Put logging at debug level, add speed info
* remove unnecessary batch info when it is known to be one
* downgrade some logs to trace level
* better comments [skip ci]
* Address most review comments
* only use ref for async proc
* fix exceptions in eth2_network
* update async exceptions in gossip_validation
* eth2_network 2nd pass
* change to sleepAsync
* Update beacon_chain/gossip_processing/batch_validation.nim

* update some v1.1.0 alpha1 to alpha2
* remove unused getDepositMessage overload and move other out of datatypes/base
* bump nim-eth2-scenarios to download v1.1.0-alpha.2 test vectors
* construct object rather than result
Since quite a lot of additional procs were now compiled as generics, this lead to compiler bugs that had
to be worked-around:
* The `Domain` type was renamed to `Eth2Domain` to avoid compilation errors
due to conflicts with `nativesockets.Domain`.
Similarly, `eth2_network.KeyPair` was renamed to `NetKeyPair`.
* A new more robust version of `hexToByteArray` was added to stew
* set upper bound on EpochRef cache
* max 32 EpochRef instances
* less memory waste in BlockRef by removing EpochRef seq that is mostly
unused (~20mb)
* less memory waste in dag block lookup by not keeping an extra copy of
digest (~70mb)
* fix `==` and `$` for Eth2Digest
* remove `ChainDAG.tmpState` (~50mb?)
all in all, this branch cuts mainnet memory usage by ~160-180mb and puts
limits on EpochRef cache usage - where normally it hovered around 950mb
before, it's now sitting at 600-700mb on my machine.

* lastPrunePoint is updated in pruning proc
* Split eager and LazyPruning
* enforce pruning in updateHead
* fix replays stalling processing
Occasionally, attestations will arrive that vote for a target derived
either from the finalized block or earlier. In these cases, Nimbus would
replay the state transition of up to 32 epochs worth of blocks because
the finalized state has been pruned, delaying other processing and
leading to poor inclusion distance.

regards to finalization

finalized checkpoint resulting in rare long replays for valid
attestations

* compare Eth2Digest using non-constant-time comparison
* avoid some unnecessary validator copying
This branch will in particular speed up deposit processing which has
been slowing down block replay.

Calculating rewards/penalties is slow due to how we compute sets of
attestations validators then use the sets for inclusion checks, to see
who attested. The dominant function during validated block processing /
epoch processing is hash set building and lookup.
This PR inverts the flow by removing the sets and creating a single
large validator status list, then applying all relevant state
attestations, then updating rewards and penalties.
This provides a 10x speedup to epoch processing which in turn speeds up
both empty slot and block processing - for example, on startup, we
replay all non-finalized blocks to prime fork choice - the same when
validating attestations or replaying states on reorg.
* update ve1.0.0-rc.0 preset spec references
* remove runtime preset ETH1_FOLLOW_DISTANCE from preset files; remove two CI build items to try to keep Travis from timing out
This addresses the issues by detecting and rejecting keystores with
incorrect PBKDF2 and SCrypt params. It also bumps the version of
nim-json-serialization to include a bugfix for incorrect parsing
of json files featuring comments.
It turns out that we often save lots of states in the database that are
the result of empty slot processing only - here, we make sure to only
save a state if a block follows - this fixes several issues:
* empty slot states are not always pruned leading to state database size
explosion
* storing states is (very) slow which slows down processing in general,
so we should only do it when it's likely to be useful
* attestation processing doesn't get stuck on saving random states that
won't appear in the chain history
* in exit pool, filter out already-packaged messages; bundle remaining messages into beaconblocks
* filter messages at block construction time
* allow adding up to intended capacity of buffers, beyond per-block limits
* document rationale/design for filtering mechanism
* addPeer() and addPeerNoWait() now returns PeerStatus, not bool.

epoch blocks (replay is done without signature checking)

When blocks and attestations arrive, they are SSZ-decoded twice: once
for validation and once for processing. This branch enqueues the decoded
block directly for processing, avoiding the second, slow
deserialization.
* move processing of blocks and attestations to queue
* ...and out from beacon_node
* split attestation processing into attestations and aggregates
* also updates metrics
* clean up logging to better follow the lifetime of gossip: arrival,
validation and processing
* drop attestations and aggregates if there are too many
* try to prioritise blocks and aggregates before single-validator
attestations
* collect all epochrefs in specific blocks to make them easier to find
and to avoid lots of small seqs
* reuse validator key databases more aggressively by comparing keys
* make state cache available from within `withState`
* make epochRef available from within onBlockAdded callback
* integrate getEpochInfo into block resolution and epoch ref logic such
that epochrefs are created when blocks are added to pool or lazily when
needed by a getEpochRef
* fill state cache better from EpochRef, speeding up replay and
validation
* store epochRef in specific blocks to make them easier to find and
reuse
* fix database corruption when state is saved while replaying quarantine
* replay slots fully from block pool before processing state
* compare bls values more smartly
* store epoch state without block applied in database - it's recommended
to resync the node!
this branch will drastically speed up processing in times of long
non-finality, as well as cut memory usage by 10x during the recent
medalla madness.

* fix invalid state root being written to database
When rewinding state data, the wrong block reference would be used when
saving the state root - this would cause state loading to fail by
loading a different state than expected, preventing blocks to be
applied.
* refactor state loading and saving to consistently use and set
StateData block
* avoid rollback when state is missing from database (as opposed to
being partially overwritten and therefore in need of rollback)
* don't store state roots for empty slots - previously, these were used
as a cache to avoid recalculating them in state transition, but this has
been superceded by hash tree root caching

are not saved to the database

* Fix incorrect blsValue access. was "aggregate" not "chronicles"
* Fix tests that rely on the internal BLSValue representation
* limit attestations kept in attestation pool
With fork choice updated, the attestation pool only needs to keep track
of attestations that will eventually end up in blocks - we can thus
limit the horizon of attestations that we keep more aggressively.
To get here, we expose getEpochRef which gets metadata about a
particular epochref, and make sure to populate it when a block is added
- this ensures that state rewinds during block addition are minimized.
In addition, we'll use the target root/epoch when validating
attestations - this helps minimize the number of different states that
we need to rewind to, in general.
* remove CandidateChains.justifiedState
unused
* remove BlockPools.Head object
* avoid quadratic quarantine loop

attestations)

this fixes a bug in get_validator_churn_limit as well

mixing feels like the worst of the two worlds
- delete "tests/simulation/{data,validators}" by default, because old
validator keys can lead to a crash with a cryptic error message
- actually start the Prometheus daemon on `make eth2_network_simulation`
- kill any running Prometheus daemon on exit
- fix some shell script syntax incompatible with Bash
* remove cruft
* reenable fork choice and fix several issues
* in addForkChoice_v2, the `.error` field would be accessed even when
Result is ok
* remove workaround for invalid block structure in fork choice
* fix `tmpState` being used recursively in callback, causing state
corruption while processing attestation
* fix block callback being called twice per block
* pass state to callback to avoid unnecessary rewinding
* enable head select, fix another bug
* never use `get` without `isOk`
* log nil blockref in case blockref is nil
* add missing error checking
* use correct epoch when updating attestation message
hash_tree_root was turning up when running beacon_node, turns out to be
repeated hash_tree_root invocations - this pr brings them back down to
normal.
this PR caches the root of a block in the SignedBeaconBlock object -
this has the potential downside that even invalid blocks will be hashed
(as part of deserialization) - later, one could imagine delaying this
until checks have passed
there's also some cleanup of the `cat=` logs which were applied randomly
and haphazardly, and to a large degree are duplicated by other
information in the log statements - in particular, topics fulfill the
same role
* restore EpochRef and flush statecaches on epoch transitions
* more targeted cache invalidation
* remove get_empty_per_epoch_cache(); implement simpler but still faster get_beacon_proposer_index()/compute_proposer_index() approach; add some abstraction layer for accessing the shuffled validator indices cache
* reduce integer type conversions
* remove most of rest of integer type conversion in compute_proposer_index()
This also assigns precise types to the constants in the minimal
and mainnet presets in order to reduce the chance of compilation
errors when custom presets are used (previously, only the custom
presets have precisely assigned types for the constants).
htr is fast now, so hitting the database to load the state root is no
longer motivated - the more simple code is less vulnerable to database
corruption.
* update most of the remaining non-fork-choice spec refs, updating code where necessary
* revert presumably harmless compute_signing_root() change, but this way, keep things really unchanged outside inspector
* Dual headed fork choice

* Fix rebase indentation bug (but still producing invalid block)
* Fix cache at epoch boundaries and lateBlock addition

* string -> cstring to reduce memory allocations; ensure all err() strings are constants, with contextual information from higher-level callers
* logScope usage fixes
* homogenize err() reporting convention
* invalid signature in deposit isn't an error
* add tests for unviable blocks
also enable finalization tests in all test configs - they're plenty fast
now
also fix newClone for non-rvo cases. sigh.
* fixes
* cleanups
* fix ncli state root check flag
* add block dump to ncli_db
* limit ncli_db benchmark length
* tone down finalization logs
* introduce trusted blocks
We only store blocks whose signature we've verified in the database - as
such, there's no need to check it again, and most importantly, no need
to deserialize the signature when loading from database.
50x startup time improvement, 200x block load time improvement.
* fix rewinding when deposits have invalid signature
* speed up ancestor iteration by avoiding copy
* avoid deserializing signatures for trusted data

- we have a new binary which connects via RPC to the respective BN and has an internal clock - waking it up on every slot
- the BN has a new option called --external-validators and currently in order to have the VC binaries to run we need to pass EXTERNAL_VALIDATORS=yes to make
- factored some code out of beacon_node.nim for easier reuse in validator_api.nim and validator_client.nim
- the VC loads its associated private keys from the datadir for its BN
- most of the validator API calls have been implemented as a stub.
- the VC polls its BN at the start of each epoch - getting a list of all active validators for the current epoch - and then continues to request blocks and sign them with its appropriate validators when necessary
* in makeBeaconBlock - use rollback instead
* in tests - this helps state_sim give more accurate data and makes it
30% faster

- add nicer child process management to "launch_local_testnet.sh"
- correct a comment in "start.sh"
* the Jenkins worker's version of "timeout" doesn't support "-v"
* remove near-duplicate code paths: process_slot(), process_slots(), and state_transition() for BeaconState are now wrappers around the HashedBeaconState versions
* convert tests/test_state_transition.nim to use HashedBeaconState
* convert mocking infrastructure and spec_block/epoch_processing tests to use HashedBeaconBlock, and remove thus unused process_slot*(state: var BeaconState)
* 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..

In BlockPool, we keep the head state around, so it's trivial to restore
the temporary state there and keep going as if nothing happened.
This solves 3 problems:
* stack space - the state copy on mainnet is huge
* GC scanning - using stack space for state slows down the GC
significantly
* reckless copying - the copy itself takes a long time
In state_sim, we'll do the same and allocate on heap - this helps a
little with GC - without it, the collection of the temporary strings
created with `toHex` while printing the json dominates the trace.

The number of user nodes is now specified with `USER_NODES`.
To make the instructions more stable, the "numeric id" of the user
nodes will be starting from 0 (so you can always use `run_node.sh 0`
to start a user node).
If you specify a node index above the total number of nodes, you'll
launch a node without any validators attached (this is useful for
testing the sync for example).
When the connect_to_testnet script is invoked it will first verify that
the genesis file of the testnet hasn't changed. If it has changed, any
previously created database associated with the testnet will be erased.
To facilitate this, the genesis file of each network is written to the
data folder of the beacon node. The beacon node will refuse to start if
it detects a discrepancy between the data folder and any state snapshot
specified on the command-line.
Since the testnet sharing spec requires us to use SSZ snapshots, the Json
support is now phased out. To help with the transition and to preserve the
functionality of the multinet scripts, the beacon node now supports a CLI
query command that can extract any data from the genesis state. This is
based on new developments in the SSZ navigators.
