* also pack attestations where LMD vote is orphaned
When `attestation.data.beacon_block_root` gets orphaned, attestations
with a good `attestation.data.target.root` may still be valuable.
The LMD GHOST vote is not relevant for attestation rewards.
Switch to use the FFG vote (`attestation.data.target.root`) instead,
gossip validation ensures it is an ancestor of `beacon_block_root`.
* lint
The consensus-spec-tests already cover the scenarios of our custom test
runner, so the custom tests can be removed. Also cleans up unused config
flags and related unreachable logic.
Just the variable, not yet `lcDataForkAtStateFork` / `atStateFork`.
- Shorten comment in `light_client.nim` to keep line width
- Do not rename `stateFork` mention in `runProposalForkchoiceUpdated`.
- Do not rename `stateFork` in `getStateField(dag.headState, fork)`
Rest is just a mechanical mass replace
Extends fork choice state to also track slot numbers to improve accuracy
of `/eth/v1/debug/fork_choice` endpoint. Autoenable this API on devnet,
and disable some extra checks on devnet to aid focused testing efforts.
Align fork choice pruning logic with API based on checkpoints vs root.
* clean up some Nim 1.2 workarounds
* re-add notes about JS backend
* another proc/noSideEffect -> func
* revert ncli/ncli_common.nim changes; 19969 evidently wasn't backported to 1.6
* Initial commit.
* NextAttestationEntry type.
* Add doppelgangerCheck and actual check.
* Recover deleted check.
* Remove NextAttestainEntry changes.
* More cleanups for NextAttestationEntry.
* Address review comments.
* Remove GENESIS_EPOCH specific check branch.
* Decrease number of full epochs for doppelganger check in VC.

When the BN-embedded LC makes sync progress, pass the corresponding
execution block hash to the EL via `engine_forkchoiceUpdatedV1`.
This allows the EL to sync to wall slot while the chain DAG is behind.
Renamed `--light-client` to `--sync-light-client` for clarity, and
`--light-client-trusted-block-root` to `--trusted-block-root` for
consistency with `nimbus_light_client`.
Note that this does not work well in practice at this time:
- Geth sticks to the optimistic sync:
"Ignoring payload while snap syncing" (when passing the LC head)
"Forkchoice requested unknown head" (when updating to LC head)
- Nethermind syncs to LC head but does not report ancestors as VALID,
so the main forward sync is still stuck in optimistic mode:
"Pre-pivot block, ignored and returned Syncing"
To aid EL client teams in fixing those issues, having this available
as a hidden option is still useful.
When there is heavy forking, proposals may get missed due to including
attestations from different forks that later fail verification.
Checking attestation signatures when building blocks should fix this.
