* switch state cache to use ref statedata objects to limit memory usage
* more directly initialize ref StateData
* use HashedBeaconState instead of StateData to try to fix memory leak
* switch cache to seq[ref HashedBeaconState]
* remove unused import

* sync fixes
* fix Status message finalized info
* work around sync starting before initial status exchange
* don't fail block on deposit signature check failure (fixes#989)
* print ForkDigest and Version nicely
* dump incoming blocks
* fix crash when libp2p peer connection is closed
* update chunk size to 16 to work around missing blocks when syncing
* bump libp2p
* bump libp2p
* better deposit skip message
We no longer discriminate between ENR, MultiAddress or ENode
bootstrap records (all of them are remapped to ENodes).
The discovery loop will stochastically try to reconnect to
accidentally disconnected nodes.
* Move BeaconNode type to its own file (fewer imports)
* disentangle sync protocol/request manager
* fix some old nimisms
* de-fear some logs
* simplify eth1 data production
* add stack tracing to release builds
* drop release compile flag for testnet
* off-by-one error in the returned range of blocks
* larger request time-outs to deal with non-responsive servers
* fix an unhandled exception when we fail to deliver a response chunk
The number of user nodes is now specified with `USER_NODES`.
To make the instructions more stable, the "numeric id" of the user
nodes will be starting from 0 (so you can always use `run_node.sh 0`
to start a user node).
If you specify a node index above the total number of nodes, you'll
launch a node without any validators attached (this is useful for
testing the sync for example).
* rename compute_epoch_of_slot(...) to compute_epoch_at_slot(...)
* remove some unnecessary imports; remove some crosslink-related code and tests; complete renaming of compute_epoch_of_slot(...) to compute_epoch_at_slot(...)
* rm more transfer-related code and tests; rm more unnecessary strutils imports
* rm remaining unused imports
* remove useless get_empty_per_epoch_cache(...)/compute_start_slot_of_epoch(...) calls

Changes:
* Do not send separate network packets for response codes and msg
len prefixes
* Close streams according to the spec
* Implement more timeouts according to the spec
* Make hello requests during syncing to update our knowledge of
the head block of the other peer.
* Hello is no longer a handshake message
(all handshakes related code was deleted for clarity)
* Deal with the single-parameter inlining defined in the new spec
* Fixed getBeaconBlocks() and getRecentBeaconBlocks() to use BlockPool, not db.
* Got the sync_protocol to compiling state; Removed all obsolete RPC calls
* remove some low-hanging perf silliness from get_winning_crosslink_and_attesting_indices(...) and switch inner/outer loop nesting order to get 10-15x function speedup for 128 and 512 validator cases by avoiding accidentally quadratic behavior, while keeping function signature unchanged and allowing easy ongoing verification of correctness of optimization
* avoid memory allocation with an openarray rather than seq
* update get_crosslink_deltas(...) to 0.8.0
* move non-spec ValidatorSetDeltaFlags from datatypes.nim to sync_protocol; fix mainnet MIN_ATTESTATION_INCLUSION_DELAY preset; update get_attestation_deltas(...) to 0.8.0; for 512 validators, get 90x speedup for get_attestation_deltas(...) from 179s to 2s
* explain purpose of when false portions, so they can be removed once accomplished
* rename slot_to_epoch(...) to compute_epoch_of_slot(...)
* rename aggregation_bitfield/custody_bitfield fields to aggregation_bits/custody_bits; rename convert_to_indexed(...) to get_indexed_attestation(...); mark BeaconBlockHeader as 0.8.0; update minimal preset MIN_ATTESTATION_INCLUSION_DELAY/time parameters in general to 0.8
* fix beacon node compilation; it used slightly different capitalizations of slot_to_epoch/slotToEpoch
* mark integer_squareroot(...), Deposit, VoluntaryExit, and Transfer as 0.8.0; rename get_epoch_start_slot(...) to compute_start_slot_of_epoch(...)
* add new Domain alias for uint64; rename bls_domain(...) to compute_domain(...), MAX_INDICES_PER_ATTESTATION to MAX_VALIDATORS_PER_COMMITTEE, and SignatureDomain to DomainType; update get_domain(...) to 0.8.0
* update/mark initiate_validator_exit(...) and Crosslink as 0.8.0; rename BeaconState.latest_block_roots -> BeaconState.block_roots; mark HistoricalBatch as 0.8.0
