The new nimbus.team website got launched with different
color schemes than the previous.
This is a small attempt to get the color schemes (dark/light)
closer to those used on nimbus.team.
There was already a dark scheme added before. This change just
sets that dark scheme as default, as is also the case for
nimbus.team.
It also removes orange/amber colors from the light scheme.

Introduce (optional) pruning of historical data - a pruned node will
continue to answer queries for historical data up to
`MIN_EPOCHS_FOR_BLOCK_REQUESTS` epochs, or roughly 5 months, capping
typical database usage at around 60-70gb.
To enable pruning, add `--history=prune` to the command line - on the
first start, old data will be cleared (which may take a while) - after
that, data is pruned continuously.
When pruning an existing database, the database will not shrink -
instead, the freed space is recycled as the node continues to run - to
free up space, perform a trusted node sync with a fresh database.
When switching on archive mode in a pruned node, history is retained
from that point onwards.
History pruning is scheduled to be enabled by default in a future
release.
In this PR, `minimal` mode from #4419 is not implemented meaning
retention periods for states and blocks are always the same - depending
on user demand, a future PR may implement `minimal` as well.
* fix REST liveness endpoint responding even when gossip is not enabled
* fix VC exit code on doppelganger hit
* fix activation epoch not being updated correctly on long deposit
queues
* fix activation epoch being set incorrectly when updating validator
* move most implementation logic to `validator_pool`, add tests
* ensure consistent logging between VC and BN
* add docs
In optimistic mode, Nimbus will sync optimistically even when the
execution client is offline / not available.
An optimistic node is less secure because it has not validated block
transactions via the execution client and can thus not be used for
validation duties.
* `.era` store docs
Initial documentation for era file generation and usage

`mkdocs` works with markdown similar to `mdbook` but is generally more
pleasing to the eye and has several nice UX features.
This PR does the bulk of the transition - likely, a followup would be
needed to fully make use of the extra features and navigation.
Book pages have been kept url-compatible, meaning that for the most
part, old links should continue to work!
