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)
* collect all epochrefs in specific blocks to make them easier to find
and to avoid lots of small seqs
* reuse validator key databases more aggressively by comparing keys
* make state cache available from within `withState`
* make epochRef available from within onBlockAdded callback
* integrate getEpochInfo into block resolution and epoch ref logic such
that epochrefs are created when blocks are added to pool or lazily when
needed by a getEpochRef
* fill state cache better from EpochRef, speeding up replay and
validation
* store epochRef in specific blocks to make them easier to find and
reuse
* fix database corruption when state is saved while replaying quarantine
* replay slots fully from block pool before processing state
* compare bls values more smartly
* store epoch state without block applied in database - it's recommended
to resync the node!
this branch will drastically speed up processing in times of long
non-finality, as well as cut memory usage by 10x during the recent
medalla madness.
* removed the BlockPool type and all of the proxy functions around it - passing the chain DAG and the quarantine explicitly where appropriately - they don't need to be bundled in a type
* fixed the build after the rebase
This also assigns precise types to the constants in the minimal
and mainnet presets in order to reduce the chance of compilation
errors when custom presets are used (previously, only the custom
presets have precisely assigned types for the constants).
* update most of the remaining non-fork-choice spec refs, updating code where necessary
* revert presumably harmless compute_signing_root() change, but this way, keep things really unchanged outside inspector
* Dual headed fork choice
* fix finalizedEpoch not moving
* reduce fork choice verbosity
* Add failing tests due to pruning
* Properly handle duplicate blocks in sync
* test_block_pool also add a test for duplicate blocks
* comments addressing review
* Fix fork choice v2, was missing integrating block proposed
* remove a spurious debug writeStackTrace
* update block_sim
* Use OrderedTable to ensure that we always load parents before children in fork choice
* Load the DAG data in fork choice at init if there is some (can sync witti)
* Cluster of quarantined blocks were not properly added to the fork choice
* Workaround async gcsafe warnings
* Update blockpoool tests
* Do the callback before clearing the quarantine
* Revert OrderedTable, implement topological sort of DAG, allow forkChoice to be initialized from arbitrary finalized heads
* Make it work with latest devel - Altona readyness
* Add a recovery mechanism when forkchoice desyncs with blockpool
* add the current problematic node to the stack
* Fix rebase indentation bug (but still producing invalid block)
* Fix cache at epoch boundaries and lateBlock addition
* add tests for unviable blocks
also enable finalization tests in all test configs - they're plenty fast
now
also fix newClone for non-rvo cases. sigh.
* fixes
* reorder ssz
* split into hash_trees and ssz_serialization, roughly, for hashing and
IO
* move bitseqs into ssz (from stew)
* clean up imports
* docs, imports
* wip: cache
* cache lists and arrays of complex objects (5x block processing speed
on ncli_db)
trivial baseline cache that stores tree in flat memory structure
* support array of uint64
* work around type issues
* more type compiler bug workarounds
* cache balances, more type fixes
* index type
* ncli_db: add validation flag, better ux
* int64 fixes
* test fix
* "oops"

* support all basic types
* cleanups
* a few more cleanups
* update more spec refs in beacon_chain/spec/presets; skip skipped constant sanity checks also from markdown reports' perspectives
* mark skipped as skipped in markdown
* initial fork-choice refactor
* Add fork_choice test for "no votes"
* Initial test with voting: fix handling of unknown validators and parent blocks
* Fix tiebreak of votes
* Cleanup debugging traces
* Complexify the vote test
* fakeHash use the bigEndian repr of number + fix tiebreak for good
* Stash changes: found critical bug in nimcrypto `==` and var openarray
* Passing fork choice tests with varying votes
* Add FFG fork choice scenario + fork choice to the test suite
* Not sure why lmdb / rocksdb reappeared in rebase
* Add sanity checks to .nimble file + integrate fork choice tests to the test DB and test timing
* Cleanup debugging echos
* nimcrypto fix https://github.com/status-im/nim-beacon-chain/pull/864 as been merged, remove TODO comment
* Turn fork choice exception-free
* Cleanup "result" to ensure early return is properly used
* Add a comment on private/public error code vs Result
* result -> results following https://github.com/status-im/nim-beacon-chain/pull/866
* Address comments:
- raises: [Defect] doesn't work -> TODO
- process_attestation cannot fail
- try/except as expression pending Nim v1.2.0
- cleanup TODOs
* re-enable all sanity checks
* tag no raise for process_attestation
* use raises defect everywhere in fork choice and fix process_attestation test
* initial 0.11.1 spec commit; no test regressions and finalizes in eth2_network_simulation
* with BLS 0.10/0.11 available, stop skipping attester slashing, proposer slashing, and voluntary exist operations fixture tests
* switch param orders to group state.{fork, genesis_validators_root}; bump spec/datatypes spec version for network purposes
* mark attestation construction and broadcast and some minimal/mainnet constants as 0.11.1-compatible; remove phase 1 sharding constants from minimal which don't exist in that preset
