* limit attestations kept in attestation pool
With fork choice updated, the attestation pool only needs to keep track
of attestations that will eventually end up in blocks - we can thus
limit the horizon of attestations that we keep more aggressively.
To get here, we expose getEpochRef which gets metadata about a
particular epochref, and make sure to populate it when a block is added
- this ensures that state rewinds during block addition are minimized.
In addition, we'll use the target root/epoch when validating
attestations - this helps minimize the number of different states that
we need to rewind to, in general.

hash_tree_root was turning up when running beacon_node, turns out to be
repeated hash_tree_root invocations - this pr brings them back down to
normal.
this PR caches the root of a block in the SignedBeaconBlock object -
this has the potential downside that even invalid blocks will be hashed
(as part of deserialization) - later, one could imagine delaying this
until checks have passed
there's also some cleanup of the `cat=` logs which were applied randomly
and haphazardly, and to a large degree are duplicated by other
information in the log statements - in particular, topics fulfill the
same role
