The first offset of an SSZ object should always have a fixed constant
value. Otherwise, some unused bytes may appear between the fixed portion
and the dynamic portion.
Please note that this fix shutds down the minimal forward compatibility
currently supported by the SSZ format (and thus, the expected behavior
must be clarified in the SSZ spec).
* be stricter about SSZ length prefix
* compute zeroHash list at compile time
* remove SSZ schema stuff
* move SSZ navigation to ncli
* cleanup a few leftover openArray uses
* update more spec refs in beacon_chain/spec/presets; skip skipped constant sanity checks also from markdown reports' perspectives
* mark skipped as skipped in markdown
* remove incorrect/obsolete comment; deprecate BeaconState state transition functions
* remove deprecated state_transition(state: var BeaconState)
* add specific workarounds for state_transition() and process_slots() to nfuzz_block() and addTestBlock()
* 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.
* fix mainnet finalization and swith eth2_network_simulation to a kind of small-mainnet profile
* Fix slot reference in trace logging
* bump a couple of spec refs from v0.11.0 to v0.11.1
* bump another spec ref to v0.11.1, one more try at Jenkins test vector download CI issue
* fix other slot reference in trace logging and skip past single-block/multi-slot gaps to re-approach from ancestry side by state_transitioning, by requiring exact match on both root hash and slot for fast path
* make more precise the fast path condition
* redo logic to make uniform with BeaconChainDB; fix chronos deprecation warning
* revert not-working replacement of deprecated chronos futures `or`
* switch testnet1 to mainnet
* remove all but one UnusedImport warning
* bump a few more spec version references from v0.10.1 to v0.11.1
* more v0.10.1 spec reference updates/removals
* yet more v0.10.1 spec reference updates
* initial 0.11.1 spec commit; no test regressions and finalizes in eth2_network_simulation
* with BLS 0.10/0.11 available, stop skipping attester slashing, proposer slashing, and voluntary exist operations fixture tests
* switch param orders to group state.{fork, genesis_validators_root}; bump spec/datatypes spec version for network purposes
* mark attestation construction and broadcast and some minimal/mainnet constants as 0.11.1-compatible; remove phase 1 sharding constants from minimal which don't exist in that preset
* Initial implementation of runtime bls skipping.
Add libnfuzz skipBLSValidation handling, check that it propagates.
* Rename skipBLSValidation -> skipBlsValidation, start skipStateRootValidation
* Replace skipValidation flags with more granular flags.
Also added skipBlockParentRootValidation flag
Mainly replaced with skipBlsValidation but also StateRoot or
BlockParentRootValidation flags where appropriate.
* Adjust interop test to pass when skipping merkle validation.
* Stop skipping validation for mainchain_monitor.
* Remove comment.
* Also skipMerkleValidation for test_beacon_chain_db.
* set block header tests to automatically enumerate all relevant tests
* add several attester slashing tests and run all tests by default, rather than only explicitly listed test vectors
* print something relating to skipped tests
* set voluntary exits to automatically enumerate all tests
* update to 0.10.1
* SSZ Generic and nbench uses the v0.10.1 fixtures
* Tests + spec links: v0.10.0 -> v0.10.1
* Add v0.10.1 TODO in get_latest_attesting_balance (forkchoice)
* SSZ Bytes are now ByteList
* Remove nim-result submodules that was leftover/added by mistake in the branch
* nbench PoC
* Remove the yaml files from the example scenarios
* update README with current status
* Add an alternative implementation that uses defer
* Forgot to add the old proc body
* slots-processing
* allow benching state_transition failures
* Add Attestations processing (workaround confutils bug:
- https://github.com/status-im/nim-confutils/issues/10
- https://github.com/status-im/nim-confutils/issues/11
- https://github.com/status-im/nim-confutils/issues/12

* Support all block processing scenarios
* parallel bench runner PoC
* gitBetter load issues reporting (the load issues were invalid signature and expected to fail)
* update get_seed(...) and get_beacon_proposer_index(...) to 0.9.0, implement compute_proposer_index(...), and render 3 more test fixtures working
* rm stray Crosslink reference which prevented static SSZ tests from building
* remove references to removed tests in attestations test fixture; add minimal-preset block sanity test, plus all but one of mainnet tests for block sanity to transition fixtures
* transition deposit operations fixture to 0.9.0
* mark slash_validator(...) as 0.9.0
* switch remaining non-ref objects to ref objects to maybe avoid crashes in CI
