fix db growth on attestation processing (#1860)
It turns out that we often save lots of states in the database that are
the result of empty slot processing only - here, we make sure to only
save a state if a block follows - this fixes several issues:

* empty slot states are not always pruned leading to state database size
explosion
* storing states is (very) slow which slows down processing in general,
so we should only do it when it's likely to be useful
* attestation processing doesn't get stuck on saving random states that
won't appear in the chain history

improve slot processing speeds (#1670)
about 40% better slot processing times (with LTO enabled) - these don't
do BLS but are used
heavily during replay (state transition = slot + block transition)

tests using a recent medalla state and advancing it 1000 slots:

```
./ncli slots --preState2:state-302271-3c1dbf19-c1f944bf.ssz --slot:1000
--postState2:xx.ssz
```

Fork choice fixes 5 (#1381)
* limit attestations kept in attestation pool

With fork choice updated, the attestation pool only needs to keep track
of attestations that will eventually end up in blocks - we can thus
limit the horizon of attestations that we keep more aggressively.

To get here, we expose getEpochRef which gets metadata about a
particular epochref, and make sure to populate it when a block is added
- this ensures that state rewinds during block addition are minimized.

In addition, we'll use the target root/epoch when validating
attestations - this helps minimize the number of different states that
we need to rewind to, in general.

* remove CandidateChains.justifiedState

unused

* remove BlockPools.Head object

* avoid quadratic quarantine loop

cache block hash (#1329)
hash_tree_root was turning up when running beacon_node, turns out to be
repeated hash_tree_root invocations - this pr brings them back down to
normal.

this PR caches the root of a block in the SignedBeaconBlock object -
this has the potential downside that even invalid blocks will be hashed
(as part of deserialization) - later, one could imagine delaying this
until checks have passed

there's also some cleanup of the `cat=` logs which were applied randomly
and haphazardly, and to a large degree are duplicated by other
information in the log statements - in particular, topics fulfill the
same role

Trusted blocks (#1227)
* cleanups

* fix ncli state root check flag
* add block dump to ncli_db
* limit ncli_db benchmark length
* tone down finalization logs

* introduce trusted blocks

We only store blocks whose signature we've verified in the database - as
such, there's no need to check it again, and most importantly, no need
to deserialize the signature when loading from database.

50x startup time improvement, 200x block load time improvement.

* fix rewinding when deposits have invalid signature
* speed up ancestor iteration by avoiding copy
* avoid deserializing signatures for trusted data
* load blocks lazily when rewinding (less memory used)

* chronicles workarounds

* document trustedbeaconblock

ssz: move ref support outside (#943)
* 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..

avoid state copy in state transition (#930)
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.
