era: Capella+ support (fixes #4752) (#4853)
Post-Capella, historical roots are computed from historical summaries
instead of being directly stored in the beacon state.

Slightly messy to pass both lists around - this is done to avoid
computing the historical root unnecessarily.

Doc fixes, part 2 (#4806)
* part 2 of the initial doc fixes

- spelling fixes
- grammar fixes
- em-dashes should be em-dashes (`—`): double dashes (`--`) are not rendered properly
- reduce overusage of em-dashes, some of those should be separate sentences
- use the correct syntax for notes, tips and warnings
- every sentence is in a separate line (helps with future diffs)
- add missing dots at the end of list items
- fix some lists

* sentences on separate lines in the remaining files

Support for driving multiple EL nodes from a single Nimbus BN (#4465)
* Support for driving multiple EL nodes from a single Nimbus BN

Full list of changes:

* Eth1Monitor has been renamed to ELManager to match its current
  responsibilities better.

* The ELManager is no longer optional in the code (it won't have
  a nil value under any circumstances).

* The support for subscribing for headers was removed as it only
  worked with WebSockets and contributed significant complexity
  while bringing only a very minor advantage.

* The `--web3-url` parameter has been deprecated in favor of a
  new `--el` parameter. The new parameter has a reasonable default
  value and supports specifying a different JWT for each connection.
  Each connection can also be configured with a different set of
  responsibilities (e.g. download deposits, validate blocks and/or
  produce blocks). On the command-line, these properties can be
  configured through URL properties stored in the #anchor part of
  the URL. In TOML files, they come with a very natural syntax
  (althrough the URL scheme is also supported).

* The previously scattered EL-related state and logic is now moved
  to `eth1_monitor.nim` (this module will be renamed to `el_manager.nim`
  in a follow-up commit). State is assigned properly either to the
  `ELManager` or the to individual `ELConnection` objects where
  appropriate.

  The ELManager executes all Engine API requests against all attached
  EL nodes, in parallel. It compares their results and if there is a
  disagreement regarding the validity of a certain payload, this is
  detected and the beacon node is protected from publishing a block
  with a potential execution layer consensus bug in it.

  The BN provides metrics per EL node for the number of successful or
  failed requests for each type Engine API requests. If an EL node
  goes offline and connectivity is resoted later, we report the
  problem and the remedy in edge-triggered fashion.

* More progress towards implementing Deneb block production in the VC
  and comparing the value of blocks produced by the EL and the builder
  API.

* Adds a Makefile target for the zhejiang testnet

e2store: avoid uint48 (#4625)
In SSZ, `uint32` is used for offsets, effectively limiting the size of
an SSZ entry to 2**32 bytes.

Also, `uint48` isn't a valid SSZ type, so the header was not correctly
defined according to the SSZ spec - the extra 2 bytes are left for
future expansion instead.

Enable validator monitor by default (#4468)
By enabling the validator monitor, more precise information about the
lifecycle of an attestation is logged at the higher `NOTICE` log level
while current `sent` messages are logged at `INF` instead, since they
are less interesting.

In particular, missed attestations and those that vote for the wrong
head are now detected and logged at NOTICE.

In addition to logging, this feature enables rich metrics around
attestation and sync committee performance - by default, validators are
tracked in aggregate but a detailed mode exists as well

This feature has been available since early Nimbus days, but it has now
been tuned and optimised such that it is safe to enable by default, even
for large setups.

* enable automatic validator monitoring by default
* replace `--validator-monitor-totals` flag with
`--validator-monitor-details` - the detailed mode is disabled by default
* lower "sent" log level to `INF` for several messages - in particular
those that are traced by the validator monitor

This is a retake on #3531 which was later reverted in #3578.

add `LightClientHeader` wrapper (#4481)
The light client data structures were changed to accommodate additional
fields in future forks (e.g., to also hold execution data).

There is a minor change to the JSON serialization, where the `header`
properties are now nested inside a `LightClientHeader`.
The SSZ serialization remains compatible.

History pruning (fixes #4419) (#4445)
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.

Always-on optimistic mode (#4458)
With https://github.com/status-im/nimbus-eth2/pull/4420 implemented, the
checks that we perform are equivalent to those of a `SYNCING` EL - as
such, we can treat missing EL the same as SYNCING and proceed with an
optimistic sync.

This mode of operation significantly speeds up recovery after an offline
EL event because the CL is already synced and can immediately inform the
EL of the latest head.

It also allows using a beacon node for consensus archival queries
without an execution client.

* deprecate `--optimistic` flag
* log block details on EL error, soften log level because we can now
continue to operate
* `UnviableFork` -> `Invalid` when block hash verification fails -
failed hash verification is not a fork-related block issue
