* adopt Result[void, string] in place of some bool return signatures
* string -> cstring to reduce memory allocations; ensure all err() strings are constants, with contextual information from higher-level callers
* logScope usage fixes
* homogenize err() reporting convention
* invalid signature in deposit isn't an error
* cleanups
* fix ncli state root check flag
* add block dump to ncli_db
* limit ncli_db benchmark length
* tone down finalization logs
* introduce trusted blocks
We only store blocks whose signature we've verified in the database - as
such, there's no need to check it again, and most importantly, no need
to deserialize the signature when loading from database.
50x startup time improvement, 200x block load time improvement.
* fix rewinding when deposits have invalid signature
* speed up ancestor iteration by avoiding copy
* avoid deserializing signatures for trusted data
* load blocks lazily when rewinding (less memory used)

Signatures are made over data and domain - here we collect all such
activities in one place.

* reuse cache entry instead of allocating a new one
* allow for small clock disparities when validating blocks

* convert tests/test_state_transition.nim to use HashedBeaconState
* convert mocking infrastructure and spec_block/epoch_processing tests to use HashedBeaconBlock, and remove thus unused process_slot*(state: var BeaconState)
