* Refactor api.nim to provide more informative failure reasons.
Distinct between unexpected data and unexpected code.
Deprecate Option[T] usage.
* Fix generated reason to not include opt[t].
* Fix 400 for produceBlindedBlock().
Get proper string conversion for strategy.
* Bump copyright years.
* Add support for using custom remote signers in local sim
Other changes:
* Enable the Nimbus remote signer in the minimal simulation
* Move all log files into the `logs` folder of the simulation
* Create PID files for all processes and use them during the clean-up
phase instead of the previous more fragile methods for killing the
remaining processes.
Since #4960, the EL connection status can no longer transition from
`NeverTested` to `Working`. Fix that, and also consider `NeverTested`
connections as online for the purpose of the `el_offline` REST response.
* Clarify addOrphan error/logging
addOrphan returned a bool to indicate success. Change this to a Result
so that different errors can be distinguished.
* Update beacon_chain/consensus_object_pools/block_quarantine.nim

* copyright year
* mark finalized blocks as verified on load

* expand non-optimistic block checking to all pre-merge blocks; refactor markBlockVerified to use BlockRef rather than block root and remove superfluous caller in newPayload path replaced by addResolvedHeadBlock BlockRef construction
* don't treat finalized block specially; VALID status is sticky

When doing sync for blocks older than
MIN_EPOCHS_FOR_BLOB_SIDECARS_REQUESTS, we skip the blobs by range
request, but we then pass en empty blob sequence to
validation, which then fails.
To fix this: Use an Option[Blobsidecars] to allow expressing the
distinction between "empty blob sequence" and "blobs unavailable". Use
the latter for "old" blocks, and don't attempt to run blob validation.
`SyncCommitteeMsgPool` grouped messages by their `beacon_block_root`.
This is problematic around sync committee period boundaries and forks.
Around sync committee period boundaries, members from both the current
and next sync committee may sign the same `beacon_block_root`; mixing
the signatures from both committees together is a mistake. Likewise,
around fork transitions, the `signing_root` changes, so those messages
also need to be segregated.
The validator beacon APIs `getAttesterDuties`, `getProposerDuties`, and
`getSyncCommitteeDuties`, have reported the `execution_optimistic`
state for the current head block. This can lead to a race if duties are
requested around the slot start, if a new head block is currently being
processed by the EL, during which the BN head may be briefly optimistic.
`execution_optimistic` is documented in beacon APIs as:
> True if the response references an unverified execution payload.
> Optimistic information may be invalidated at a later time.
> If the field is not present, assume the False value.
As the duty endpoints reference the shuffling dependent root instead of
the currently selected head block, `execution_optimistic` is now fetched
based on that shuffling dependent block root. As this dependent block is
in the past it doesn't usually become optimistic when adding new blocks.
Note that the endpoints requested 4/8 seconds into the slot that perform
the actual duties instead of just querying for duty schedule, still
report `execution_optimistic` based on the BN head block.
