* ignore sqlite WAL journal files in git; switch attestation resolved from info to debug
* promote sent attestations/blocks to notice rather than demote resolved attestations/blocks to debug
This implements disparity, resolving a part of
https://github.com/status-im/nim-beacon-chain/issues/1367
* make BeaconTime a duration for fractional seconds
* factor out attestation/aggregate validation
* simplify recording of queued attestations
* simplify attestation signature check
* fix blocks_received metric
* add some trivial validation tests
* remove unresolved attestation table - attestations for unknown blocks
are dropped instead (cannot verify their signature)
* Jenkins: run benchmarks
* don't exit the workspace
* try calling the benchmark plugin from the config file
* pass all params
* separate Jenkins job for benchmarks
* harden beacon_pending_deposits metrics calculation
* ...
* move beacon_pending_deposits and beacon_processed_deposits_total out of specs and into chain DAG
* initial - cheaper pruning - addresses #1534
* Pass tests: update offset when pruning, proper handling of pruned parents
* Use options instead of nil for nilable newHead (finalization passing but rootcause not solved)
* First line of defense against stackoverflow in tests
* Fix compute_delta offset after pruning
* Rebase fix - medalla ready
* Remove Option[BlockRef]
* book updates

* Slashing protection + interchange initial commit
* Restrict the when UseSlashingProtection dance in other modules
* Integrate slashing tests in other all_tests
* Add attestation slashing protection support
* Add a message that mention if built with/without slashing protection
* no op the initialization proc
* test slashing protection in Jenkins (temp)
* where to configure NIMFLAGS in Jenkins ...
* Jenkins -> ensure Built with slashing protection
* Add slashing protection complete import
* use Opt.get(otherwise)
* Don't use negation in proc name
* Turn slashing protection on by default
* Refactor peer_pool.
Fix eth2_network peer counters.
Fix PeerPool do not allow to add more peers when empty space available.
* Remove unused imports.
* Add test for a bug.
* Fix eth2_network disconnect should deletePeer not release.
More PeerPool refactoring.
* remove some superfluous gcsafes
* remove getTailState (unused)
* don't store old epochrefs in blocks
* document attestation pool a bit
* remove `pcs =` cruft from log
* skeleton of attester slashing pool & validators
* add skeleton for proposer slashings and voluntary exits; rename pool to more inclusive exit pool to stay consistent with all three; ensure is initialized by beacon_node so is safe to merge, even if it doesn't do much yet
* add ncli_db subcommand to prune database of unnecessary blocks, states, and state roots
* tweak comments
* reduce default aggressiveness in pruning old states
* move copyPrunedDatabase() to ncli_db, as it's not generally useful as part of beacon_chain_db and doesn't use any internal interfaces
* Syncing workers now not bound to peers.
Sync status is now printed in statusbar.
* Add `SyncQueue.outSlot` to statusbar too.
* Add `inRangeEvent` and `rangeAge` parameter.
* Fix rangeAge is not depends on SyncQueue latest slot.
Fix syncManager to start from latest local head slot.
* Add notInRange event.
* Remove suspects field.
Validator duties proceed slot-by-slot - we should not start a new
validator duty iteration before the previous one is gone or we might run
into consistency and voting issues
* Quick fix to prune some states, pending smarter state storage
Adverse effects might include slow rewinds - typically the protocol
doesn't ask for pre-finalized states but RPC might
* document issue, add test
* fix cache miss log
