* reworked some of the das core specs, pr'd to check whether whether the conflicting type issue is centric to my machine or not
* bumped nim-blscurve to 9c6e80c6109133c0af3025654f5a8820282cff05, same as unstable
* bumped nim-eth2-scenarios, nim-nat-traversal at par with unstable, added more pathches, made peerdas devnet branch backward compatible, peerdas passing new ssz tests as per alpha3, disabled electra fixture tests, as branch hasn't been rebased for a while
* refactor test fixture files
* rm: serializeDataColumn
* refactor: took data columns extracted from blobs during block proposal to the heap
* disable blob broadcast in pd devnet
* fix addBlock in message router
* fix: data column iterator
* added debug checkpoints to check CI
* refactor if else conditions
* add: updated das core specs to alpha 3, and unit tests pass
#6087 introduced a subtle change to `nim-web3` resulting in `Gwei` to be
serialized differently than before. Using a `distinct` type for `Gwei`
improves type safety and avoids such problems in the future.
Add `{.raises.}` annotations to `tests` files where needed to enable
`{.push raises: [].}`. Avoids interfering with periodic changes such as
spec version bumps, and avoids special casing folders when editing.
The effort to maintain `{.raises.}` is trivial after the initial round.
In Nim 2.0, the `test_fixture_operations` files fail to compile with:
```
Error: 'result' is of type <Result[system.void, system.cstring]> which cannot be captured as it would violate memory safety, declared here: /nimbus-eth2/tests/consensus_spec/bellatrix/test_fixture_operations.nim(130, 5); using '-d:nimNoLentIterators' helps in some cases. Consider using a <ref Result[system.void, system.cstring]> which can be captured.
```
Wrapping the `applyExecutionPayload` in a factory that takes `path`
avoids this problem.
Suite names were not being used because `test` has to have access to it
during instantiation - this PR cleans things up a little while at the
same time upgrading unittest2.
This PR removes a few hundred thousand temporary seq allocations during
state transition - in particular, the flag seq was allocated per
validator while committees are computed per attestation.
* require sync committee supermajority in CI
To better catch problems with sync committee messages in CI, extend
local testnet simulation to also verify that each block is signed
by a supermajority of the sync committee.
Requires #5083 and #5084
* lint
Distinguish between those code locations that need to be updated on each
light client data format change, and those others that should generally
be fine, as long as a valid light client object is processed.
The former are tagged with static assert for `LightClientDataFork.high`.
The latter are changed to `lcDataFork > LightClientDataFork.None` to
indicate that they depend only on presence of any valid object.
Also bundled a few minor cleanups and fixes.
Also add `Forky` type for `LightClientStore` and minor fixes / cleanups.
* consolidate consensus spec transition test fixtures
* include capella
* consoliate fork test fixtures
* note change in EIP-4844 process_block in alpha.2
