* expose node signatures
* format bitseqs as hex strings
* format trusted sigs as hex strings (same as untrusted)
* reuse rpc client sigs
* include validator index in duties
* move SyncInfo to spec
when there are many validators, many aggregates and attestations arrive
every slot - increase the queue size a bit - also do batches on each
idle loop iteration since it's fairly quick
* use IntSet rather than HashSet[ValidatorIndex]
* add bounds check before uint64 -> int conversion
* use intsets in block transitions
* remove superfluous Nim issue explanation/reference
* performance fixes
* don't mark tree cache as dirty on read-only List accesses
* store only blob in memory for keys and signatures, parse blob lazily
* compare public keys by blob instead of parsing / converting to raw
* compare Eth2Digest using non-constant-time comparison
* avoid some unnecessary validator copying
This branch will in particular speed up deposit processing which has
been slowing down block replay.

* use `idleAsync` to more evenly divide cpu attention when syncing in
particular - this gives networking better latency
* more strict exception handling in eth2_processor
* allow always-on subscription to all attestation subnets when gossiping
* in subscribe-all-subnets mode, consider all subnets to be stability subnets for ENR purposes
* remove await/async from sub/unsub
* fix unsubscribe wrong key (missed _snappy)
* use the right libp2p commit hash
* remove unused async
* fix inspector
* fix subnet calculation in RPC and insert broadcast attestations into node's pool
* unify codepaths to ensure only mostly-checked-to-be-valid attestations enter the pool, even from node's own broadcasts
* update attestation pool tests for new validateAttestation param

* fix subnet calculation in RPC and insert broadcast attestations into node's pool
* unify codepaths to ensure only mostly-checked-to-be-valid attestations enter the pool, even from node's own broadcasts
* update attestation pool tests for new validateAttestation param
* make subnet cycling more robust; use one stability subnet/validator; explicitly represent gossip enabled/disabled
* fix asymmetry in _snappy being used for subscriptions but not unsubscriptions
* remove redundant comment
* minimal RPC and VC support for infoming BN of subnets
* create and verify slot signatures in RPC interface and VC
* loosen old slot check
* because Slot + uint64 works but uint64 + Slot doesn't
* document assumptions for head state use; don't clear stability subnets; guard against VC not having checked an epoch ahead, fixing a crash; clarify unsigned comparison
* revert unsub fix
* checkpoint database at end of each slot
To avoid spending time on synchronizing with the file system while doing
processing, the manual checkpointing mode turns off fsync during
processing and instead checkpoints the database when the slot has ended.
From an sqlite perspecitve, in WAL mode this guaranees database
consistency but may lead to data loss which is fine - anything missing
from the beacon chain database can be recovered on the next startup.
* log sync status and delay in slot start message
* bump
