When fetching eth1 data and deposits for a new block proposal, the list
of deposits from previous eth1 data to the next one is fully loaded into
a `seq`. This can potentially be a very long list in active periods.
Changing this to an `iterator` saves memory by ensuring that the entire
list is no longer materialized; only the `DepositData` roots are needed.
When the EL connection is interrupted, deposits are once more requested
in chunks of 5000 blocks. This is a problem when the response takes over
a minute to produce and consistently times out as followup requests with
lower chunk sizes may no longer work after a request was canceled, e.g.,
when using Geth with websockets. By keeping track of `blocksPerRequest`
across EL reconnections, it is possible to recover from this by avoiding
to continuously repeat the initial request with the full 5000 blocks.
Also cleans up one more "retry of retry" instance; `DataProviderTimeout`
is a `CatchableError` and already handled by the existing retry logic.
When connection to the EL is lost as part of EL deposits importing, the
targeted block range to sync would reset. This is changed to properly
remember import progress across reconnects.

The use of nested `awaitWithRetries` calls would have
resulted in an unexpected number of retries (3x3).
We now use regular `await` in outer layer to avoid the problem.

The new code has an invariant that the `headMerkleizer` field in
the `Eth1Chain` is always kept in sync with the blocks stored in
the chain.
This invariant is now enforced better by doing the necessary merkleizer updates
in the `Eth1Chain.addBlock` function, in the `Eth1Chain.init` function and in the
`Eth1Chain.reset` function.
When importing blocks with deposits from the EL, the timestamp is never
initialized for them. Therefore, only blocks without deposits (for which
the timestamp is obtained) are considered for `is_candidate_block`.
This is fixed by also importing timestamps for blocks with deposits.
* fix obtaining deposits after connection loss
When an error occurs during Eth1 deposits import, the already imported
blocks are kept while the connection to the EL is re-established.
However, the corresponding merkleizer is not persisted, leading to any
future deposits no longer being properly imported. This is quite common
when syncing a fresh Nimbus instance against an already-synced Geth EL.
Fixed by persisting the head merkleizer together with the blocks.

A fix for a bug triggered by recent `Jenkinsfile` refactoring done in:
https://github.com/status-im/nimbus-eth2/pull/3827
Which due to a big in Jenkins Throttling plugin caused jobs to start
running in parallel on the same host despite global configuration that
is supposed to block this:
https://issues.jenkins.io/browse/JENKINS-49173https://github.com/jenkinsci/throttle-concurrent-builds-plugin/pull/68
An attempt to fix this was made in this PR:
https://github.com/status-im/nimbus-eth2/pull/3913
But it was ineffective due to bugs in the Throttle plugin.
As a result semi-random testnet launches would fail with errors like this:
```
./scripts/launch_local_testnet.sh: line 1026: 58977 Killed: 9 ${BEACON_NODE_COMMAND} ...
```
The culprit was the old process cleanup in `scripts/launch_local_testnet.sh`:
```
+ make local-testnet-mainnet
Found old process listening on port 7001, with PID 58977. Killing it.
Found old process listening on port 7002, with PID 59024. Killing it.
Found old process listening on port 7003, withu PID 59027. Killing it.
Found old process listening on port 7004, with PID 59030. Killing it.
```
Which was triggered due to use of immediate assignment for `EXECUTOR_NUMBER`:
```
EXECUTOR_NUMBER := 0
```
Which cause the `EXECUTOR_NUMBER` value set by Jenkins to be ignored.

The ports for the concurrently executing REST and Minimal testnet clash,
leading to some CI failures since #3827 introduced further concurrency.
Adjusting the ports to be distinct across various tests should fix this.
LC cancels concurrent requests if one peer sent a correct response and
waiting for other peers is no longer useful. On the server side this
resulted in a descore (-500) and a likely disconnect. The behaviour is
changed to match `UnexpectedEOF`, `PotentiallyExpectedEOF` handling that
return an error response without disconnecting from the peer.
`mkdocs` works with markdown similar to `mdbook` but is generally more
pleasing to the eye and has several nice UX features.
This PR does the bulk of the transition - likely, a followup would be
needed to fully make use of the extra features and navigation.
Book pages have been kept url-compatible, meaning that for the most
part, old links should continue to work!
