* 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
* Make listen-address default to use dualstack.
* Use correct newProtocol().
* Bump nim-eth.
* Bump nim-eth one more time.
* Use `*` instead of IPv6 address for dualstack sockets.
* Bump chronos and nim-eth.
* Use new constructor.
* Fix listenAddress should be Opt[T] not Option[T].
* Fix options.md.
The `syncHorizon` describes the number of empty slots before the beacon
node considers itself to be out of sync. There are two places where we
currently set this to 50 slots, but it makes more sense to base it on
wall time, e.g., the 10 minutes that the default 50 are derived from.
Extend slot start message and default status bar with information about
current head fork and the next fork transition (corresponding to head).
This is useful to know whether a synced client is aware of a future fork
and can also be useful when syncing from old forks to follow progress
across the various forks.

Using trusted node sync currently requires to run two commands -
first the `trustedNodeSync` command to initialize the database,
followed by the regular startup command to continue syncing.
The `trustedNodeSync` options are now also available during regular
startup, and are used when the database is empty to simplify setting up
a new Nimbus beacon node. This also aligns behaviour closer with other
Ethereum consensus implementations.
The new logic only applies if the database has not yet been initialized;
same as before. Also, the database needs to be removed under the same
conditions as before when a fresh sync is desired.
`Eth2NetworkMetadata` has an `incompatible` case to hold an error string
in case the loaded file is not compatible with the compile-time config.
The same can be modeled with a `Result[Eth2NetworkMetadata, string]` and
avoids followup checks for the `incompatible` case.
To allow testing https://github.com/ethereum/consensus-specs/issues/3466
add support for selecting fork choice version at launch. This means we
can deploy a different logic when `DENEB_FORK_EPOCH != FAR_FUTURE_EPOCH`
that won't be used on Mainnet.
* Initial commit with both methods enabled: `poll` and `event`.
* Address review comments.
* Address review comments.
Fix copyright years.
* After bump fixes.
* use correct exception in `parseCmdArg(enr.Record)`
`parseCmdArg` is expected to raise `ValueError` but for `enr.Record` we
currently raise `ConfigurationError`. Change to `ValueError` instead.
* lint
* Kzg: Load trusted setup
* scripts/launch_local_testnet.sh: set FIELD_ELEMENTS_PER_BLOB
* Use right setup file for mainnet/minimal
* Force rebuild
* Add comment explaining why build with -f
