`a48d741022f6b0da1bb679e0ede4e38c019242cf` disabled LC in local testnet
as an undocumented side effect. Re-enabling for more thorough testing,
and added handling of LC with `--eth2-docker-image`.
* track the SyncCommittee period in slot end logs
* Update beacon_chain/nimbus_beacon_node.nim

Removes a few extra-ambitious templates to make `self` updates explicit,
and moves the `FinalityCheckpoints` type from `base` to `helpers` as it
is an additional Nimbus specific type not defined by spec.
a notice in the log is enough - we don't want the REST API to return an
error in this case because that makes the validator client think
something is seriously wrong (like the BN or message being broken)
Whether new blocks/attestations/etc are produced internally or received
via REST, their journey through the node is the same - to ensure that
they get the same treatment (logging, metrics, processing), this PR
moves the routing to a dedicated module and fixes several small
differences that existed before.
* `xxxValidator` -> `processMessageName` - the processor also was adding
messages to pools, so we want the name to reflect that action
* add missing "sent" metrics for some messages
* document ignore policy better - already-seen messages are not actaully
rebroadcast by libp2p
* skip redundant signature checks for internal validators consistently
The justified and finalized `Checkpoint` are frequently passed around
together. This introduces a new `FinalityCheckpoint` data structure that
combines them into one.
Due to the large usage of this structure in fork choice, also took this
opportunity to update fork choice tests to the latest v1.2.0-rc.1 spec.
Many additional tests enabled, some need more work, e.g. EL mock blocks.
Also implemented `discard_equivocations` which was skipped in #3661,
and improved code reuse across fork choice logic while at it.
* merge LC db into main BN db
To treat derived LC data similar to derived state caches, merge it into
the main beacon node DB.
* shorten table names, group with lc prefix
* optimistic sync
* flag that initially loaded blocks from database might need execution block root filled in
* return optimistic status in REST calls
* refactor blockslot pruning
* ensure beacon_blocks_by_{root,range} do not provide optimistic blocks
* handle forkchoice head being pre-merge with block being postmerge
* re-enable blocking head updates on validator duties
* fix is_optimistic_candidate_block per spec; don't crash with nil future
* fix is_optimistic_candidate_block per spec; don't crash with nil future
* mark blocks sans execution payloads valid during head update
* persist LC data across restarts
With the Altair spec `LightClientUpdate` structure taking its final form
it is finally possible to persist LC data across restarts without having
to worry about data migration due to spec changes. A separate `lcdataV1`
database is created in the `caches` subdirectory to hold known LC data.
A full database with default settings (129 periods) uses <15 MB disk.
* extend LC data DB rationale
* wording
* add `isSupportedBySQLite` helper and explicit return
* remove redundant `return`
All message processing is done in the validation callbacks, so there's
no need to trigger data handlers for messages we publish - the
self-publish is async, and therefore has an associated cost
Separate LC initialization options from the main ChainDAGRef options to
allow ChainDAGRef to treat them as opaque and reduce risk for conflicts
when extending those options in the future.
* remove web3 url prompt in launcher script
The interactive prompt for web3 has outlived its utility as we now load
url:s from command line params and config files, preventing the prompt
from correctly detecting when it's needed.
Also, after the merge, a JWT secret will (likely) be needed.
* log notice when web3 url is missing
* fix docs to not mention default that doesn't exist
* fix scripts to properly quote arguments
