* remove some superfluous gcsafes
* remove getTailState (unused)
* don't store old epochrefs in blocks
* document attestation pool a bit
* remove `pcs =` cruft from log
* skeleton of attester slashing pool & validators
* add skeleton for proposer slashings and voluntary exits; rename pool to more inclusive exit pool to stay consistent with all three; ensure is initialized by beacon_node so is safe to merge, even if it doesn't do much yet
* add ncli_db subcommand to prune database of unnecessary blocks, states, and state roots
* tweak comments
* reduce default aggressiveness in pruning old states
* move copyPrunedDatabase() to ncli_db, as it's not generally useful as part of beacon_chain_db and doesn't use any internal interfaces
* Syncing workers now not bound to peers.
Sync status is now printed in statusbar.
* Add `SyncQueue.outSlot` to statusbar too.
* Add `inRangeEvent` and `rangeAge` parameter.
* Fix rangeAge is not depends on SyncQueue latest slot.
Fix syncManager to start from latest local head slot.
* Add notInRange event.
* Remove suspects field.
Validator duties proceed slot-by-slot - we should not start a new
validator duty iteration before the previous one is gone or we might run
into consistency and voting issues
* Quick fix to prune some states, pending smarter state storage
Adverse effects might include slow rewinds - typically the protocol
doesn't ask for pre-finalized states but RPC might
* document issue, add test
* fix cache miss log
per spec, we must half-close request stream - not doing so may lead to
failure of the other end to start processing our request leading to
timeouts.
In particular, this fixes many sync problems that have been seen on
medalla.
* remove safeClose - close no longer raises
* use per-chunk timeouts in request processing
* Syncing workers now not bound to peers.
Sync status is now printed in statusbar.
* Add `SyncQueue.outSlot` to statusbar too.
* Add `inRangeEvent` and `rangeAge` parameter.
* Fix rangeAge is not depends on SyncQueue latest slot.
Fix syncManager to start from latest local head slot.
* Add notInRange event.
* bump libp2p, introduce AsyncQueue BufferStream
* bump

* stop discarding non-existent future epochs during epoch state transitions; remove a pointless StateCache() construction in advance_slots()
* update nbench to pass StateCache to process_slots()
* bump chronos
this reverts backwards-incompatible changes to CancelledError and
resores other functionality.
chronos metrics are lost and will need to be reimplemented.
* bump
* ignore sqlite WAL journal files in git; switch attestation resolved from info to debug
* promote sent attestations/blocks to notice rather than demote resolved attestations/blocks to debug
This implements disparity, resolving a part of
https://github.com/status-im/nim-beacon-chain/issues/1367
* make BeaconTime a duration for fractional seconds
* factor out attestation/aggregate validation
* simplify recording of queued attestations
* simplify attestation signature check
* fix blocks_received metric
* add some trivial validation tests
* remove unresolved attestation table - attestations for unknown blocks
are dropped instead (cannot verify their signature)
