* electra attestation updates
In Electra, we have two attestation formats: on-chain and on-network -
the former combines all committees of a slot in a single committee bit
list.
This PR makes a number of cleanups to move towards fixing this -
attestation packing however still needs to be fixed as it currently
creates attestations with a single committee only which is very
inefficient.
* more attestations in the blocks
* signing and aggregation fixes
* tool fix
* test, import
#6087 introduced a subtle change to `nim-web3` resulting in `Gwei` to be
serialized differently than before. Using a `distinct` type for `Gwei`
improves type safety and avoids such problems in the future.
When there are long periods of non-finality, `nodeIsViableForHead` has
been observed to consume significant time as it repeatedly walks the
non-finalized check graph as part of determining what heads are eligible
for fork choice. Caching the result resolves that.
Overall, it may still be better to prune fork choice more aggressively
when finality advances, to fully avoid the case specced out using the
linear scan. The current implementation is very close to spec, though,
so such a change should not be introduced without thorough testing.
The simple cache should allow significantly better performance on Goerli
while the network is still supported (Mid April).
* implement EIP-7514 for Deneb: Add Max Epoch Churn Limit
Cap activations per epoch according to EIP-7514:
- https://eips.ethereum.org/EIPS/eip-7514
- https://github.com/ethereum/consensus-specs/pull/3499
* apply proposer boost to first block in case of equivocation
Implement spec changes to fork choice; this only affects equivocation
when multiple blocks are signed for the same slot. Regular operation
is not changed.

* bump test vectors to v1.4.0-beta.2-hotfix

We currently compute `justified_total_active_balance` inside
`calculateProposerBoost`, despite that sum already being known
in the `EpochRef` cache. Tracking `justified_total_active_balance`
whenever the justified checkpoint updates allows replacing the
repeated computation with a lookup, at minimal memory cost.
To allow testing https://github.com/ethereum/consensus-specs/issues/3466
add support for selecting fork choice version at launch. This means we
can deploy a different logic when `DENEB_FORK_EPOCH != FAR_FUTURE_EPOCH`
that won't be used on Mainnet.
every attestation is processed with a new wall time so we end up
iterating over all attestations for every attestation we queue - this is
4% of cpu time on a subscribe-all-subnets node
* remove redundant zero checks - block root must be an existing block
and therefore cannot be zero
* simplify "hasn't-voted" check to root only (isZeroMemory is dubiously
implemented for objects)
The consensus-spec-tests already cover the scenarios of our custom test
runner, so the custom tests can be removed. Also cleans up unused config
flags and related unreachable logic.
Extends fork choice state to also track slot numbers to improve accuracy
of `/eth/v1/debug/fork_choice` endpoint. Autoenable this API on devnet,
and disable some extra checks on devnet to aid focused testing efforts.
Align fork choice pruning logic with API based on checkpoints vs root.
