* 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
* re-enable test_interop based on zcli with 0.9.1 specs and update initialize_beacon_state_from_eth1(...) to 0.9.1
* switch many procs to funcs
* fix import os.nim instead; ospaths is deprecated [Deprecated] warnings
* 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
When the connect_to_testnet script is invoked it will first verify that
the genesis file of the testnet hasn't changed. If it has changed, any
previously created database associated with the testnet will be erased.
To facilitate this, the genesis file of each network is written to the
data folder of the beacon node. The beacon node will refuse to start if
it detects a discrepancy between the data folder and any state snapshot
specified on the command-line.
Since the testnet sharing spec requires us to use SSZ snapshots, the Json
support is now phased out. To help with the transition and to preserve the
functionality of the multinet scripts, the beacon node now supports a CLI
query command that can extract any data from the genesis state. This is
based on new developments in the SSZ navigators.

Multi-client testing requires more portable formats, and SSZ is
much better specified than our flavour of Json.
Tools like ncli and zcli can be now used to inspect the contents
of the SSZ files.
