This PR renames the existing `validator_duties` to `beacon_validators`
and in doing so, names validators running inside the beacon node process
"beacon validators" while those running the VC can be referred to as
"client validators" to disambiguate the two.
The existing `validator_duties` instead takes on a new responsibility:
as a home for logic shared between beacon and client validators - ie
code that provides consistency in implementation and behavior between
the two modes of operation.
Not only does this simplify reasoning about where to put code -it also
reduces the number of dependencies the validator client has from ~5000
to ~3000 modules (!) according to `nim genDepend` significantly reducing
compile times.
* bump `nim-chronicles` to `71556f84af16cd275a8ae4c2390060481c6fedf7`
- remove Nim 1.2 and 1.4 support; test Nim 2.0 in CI
- suppress some more `IOError` when logging
* bump `nim-json-serialization` to `85b7ea093cb85ee4f433a617b97571bd709d30df`
- add `readValue` implementations for case objects
- add `{.raises.}` annotation to `writeValue`
- Remove unnecessary `Defect` references
- Remove spurious `SerializationError` references
- Remove duplicate `writeValue` template in `keystore.nim`;
same implementation already exists a bit further above in same file.
Add separate log topic for `block_processor` messages.
Topic named similar to the other `_processor` modules:
- `eth2_processor` --> `gossip_eth2`
- `light_client_processor` --> `gossip_lc`
- `optimistic_processor` --> `gossip_opt`
We have been seeing some port conflicts like:
```
[2023-08-15T00:31:47.625Z] Geth 0 failed to start
```
```
$ tail -n1 local-testnet-mainnet/logs/geth.?.txt

==> local-testnet-mainnet/logs/geth.2.txt <==
Fatal: Error starting protocol stack: listen tcp :6811: bind: address already in use
```
In order to debug this we'll need to add printing of some extra info
into `unstable` so feature branches include it.

In #4465, a regression was introduced by deleting the periodic call to
`engine_exchangeTransitionConfiguration` in the Nimbus light client.
This led to the light client never treating the EL as online and,
subsequently, not sending `engine_newPayload` requests for new blocks.
Strangely, `engine_forkchoiceUpdated` requests still make it through :)
Geth still requires both `engine_newPayload` and `fcU` to be called.
By restoring the `exchangeTransitionConfiguration` loop, `newPayload`
requests are once more issued to the EL.
When a block is introduced to the system both via REST and gossip at the
same time, we will call `storeBlock` from two locations leading to a
dupliace check race condition as we wait for the EL.
This issue may manifest in particular when using an external block
builder that itself publishes the block onto the gossip network.
* refactor enqueue flow
* simplify calling `addBlock`
* complete request manager verifier future for blobless blocks
* re-verify parent conditions before adding block
among other things, it might have gone stale or finalized between one
call and the other
```
Essential changes:
security bugfix in Go bindings
run-time switch in portable build
no-std support [exercised with limited stack size of 56K]
serde support
blst_miller_loop_n interface, with parallelized Rust and Go
counterparts
optional blst_fr_pentaroot subroutine
Emscripten bindings
hardened security on non-asm platforms
```
* move file loading out of timed ncli section to focus benchmark on
deserialization rather than disk loading
* JSON loading fix included in bump, but does not practically happen
since we generally don't load hashlist from JSON
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)
