Validator monitoring gained 2 new metrics for tracking when blocks are
included or not on the head chain.
Similar to attestations, if the block is produced in epoch N, reporting
will use the state when switching to epoch N+2 to do the reporting (so
as to reasonably stabilise the block inclusion in the face of reorgs).
With checkpoint sync, the checkpoint block is typically unavailable at
the start, and only backfilled later. To avoid treating it as having
zero hash, execution disabled in some contexts, wrap the result of
`loadExecutionBlockHash` in `Opt` and handle block hash being unknown.

Finish the rename started in #4809 to have a consistent naming.
`ExecutionPayloadHash` suggests hash over payload instead of block.
`BlockHash` is also the canonical name in engine API.
Changes here are more significant because of some good old tech debt in
block production which has grown quite hairy - the reduction in
exception handling at least provides some steps in the right direction.
* Revert "use `RestPlainResponse` to improve builder API rerror reporting"
* Update rest_deneb_mev_calls.nim
copyright year linting
* Update rest_capella_mev_calls.nim
more copyright year linting
#5773 removed catching up on validator duties after lag. The `curSlot`
variable that was used originally to track catch-up progress no longer
has a use and is also no longer properly updated. Remove it.
* remove extraneous length checks in KZG batch proofs
* re-add winservice import but only for Windows, to avoid UnusedImport warning
* also uses establishWindowsService
* Make some startup procedures async.
Add more handful makeBannerAndConfig().
* Dissect windows service code from `nimbus_beacon_node.nim`.
* Add report service startup errors using windows error codes.
Add plug able exitService().

* Avoid global in p2p macro (fixes#4578)
* copy p2p macro to this repo and start de-crufting it
* make protocol registration dynamic, removing light client hacks et al
* split out light client protocol into its own file
* cleanups
* Option -> Opt
* remove more cruft
* further split beacon_sync
this allows the light client to respond to peer metadata messages
without exposing the block sync protocol
* better protocol init
* "constant" protocol index
* avoid casts
* copyright
* move some discovery code to discovery
* avoid extraneous data copy when sending chunks
* remove redundant forkdigest field
* document how to connect to a specific peer
* avoid potentially subtle template/function symbol name interactions
* use warn instead of error in getExecutionPayload codepath to ensure lack of ambiguity
This PR brings down the time to send 100 attestations from ~1s to
~100ms, making it feasible to run 10k validators on a single node (which
regularly send 300 attestations / slot).
This is done by batching the slashing protection database write in a
single transaction thus avoiding a slow fsync for every signature -
effects will be more pronounced on slow drives.
The benefit applies both to beacon and client validators.
The proposed change ensures that VC validators are registered with the builder specified by the `--payload-builder-url` argument even if the beacon node has no attached validators. It also prevent such validators from being unintentionally registered with builders configured for specific attached validators by the keymanager api.
Per the current specs, the VC have no way to specify which builders the BN should use on a per-node basis, so for the time being we have to resort to using the BN fallback default builder URL for VC validators.
When new finality is reached without supermajority sync committee
support, trigger another event push on beacon-API and libp2p once
the finality gains supermajority support.
