* Handle some web3 timeouts better
* Add support for developer .env files
* Eth1 improvements; Mainnet genesis state
Notable changes:
* The deposits table have been removed from the database. The client
will no longer process all deposits on start-up.
* The network metadata now includes a "state snapshot" of the deposit
contract. This allows the client to skip syncing deposits made prior
to the snapshot (i.e. genesis). Suitable metadata added for Pyrmont
and Mainnet.
* The Eth1 monitor won't be started unless there are validators attached
to the node.
* The genesis detection code is now optional and disabled by default
* Bugfix: The client should not produce blocks that will fail validation
when it hasn't downloaded the latest deposits yet
* Bugfix: Work around the database corruption affecting Pyrmont nodes
* Remove metadata for Toledo and Medalla
* Avoid hangs when wss:// is specified for a non-secure HTTP server
* Produce an ERROR when the web3 provider is unsupported, but still launch the node
