Other changes:
* Include java in the Nix development shell
(so users are able to run the web3signer)
* Update the simulation config files to the latest spec
(so the web3signer accepts them)
The 40s allotted for setting up a local testnet can sometime be exceeded
when CI is busy. Bumping it by 20s should reduce that risk.
Example, where the entire slots 0 and 1 were missed:
```
{"lvl":"INF","ts":"2023-11-22 18:33:32.000+00:00","msg":"Scheduling first slot action","topics":"beacnde","startTime":"8s999ms800us826ns","nextSlot":2,"timeToNextSlot":"3s199us174ns"}
```
We use file descriptors for validators and sockets and might run out of
either on high-validator setups - increasing the limit here is harmless
and avoids a common limiting factor in setup

We have been seeing some port conflicts like:
```
[2023-08-15T00:31:47.625Z] Geth 0 failed to start
```
```
$ tail -n1 local-testnet-mainnet/logs/geth.?.txt
==> local-testnet-mainnet/logs/geth.0.txt <==
Fatal: Error starting protocol stack: listen tcp :6801: bind: address already in use
==> local-testnet-mainnet/logs/geth.1.txt <==
Fatal: Error starting protocol stack: listen tcp :6806: bind: address already in use
==> local-testnet-mainnet/logs/geth.2.txt <==
Fatal: Error starting protocol stack: listen tcp :6811: bind: address already in use
```
In order to debug this we'll need to add printing of some extra info
into `unstable` so feature branches include it.

* Add support for using custom remote signers in local sim
Other changes:
* Enable the Nimbus remote signer in the minimal simulation
* Move all log files into the `logs` folder of the simulation
* Create PID files for all processes and use them during the clean-up
phase instead of the previous more fragile methods for killing the
remaining processes.
* Kzg: Load trusted setup
* scripts/launch_local_testnet.sh: set FIELD_ELEMENTS_PER_BLOB
* Use right setup file for mainnet/minimal
* Force rebuild
* Add comment explaining why build with -f
* fix false positive getopt failure with multiple getopt matches in searched path
* also get launch_local_testnet
* also make_prometheus_config, called from launch_local_testnet
* 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
First step in debugging issue most probably re-introduced by:
https://github.com/status-im/nimbus-eth2/pull/4551
Which causes the finalization tests script to kill other processes
unrelated to the given CI job.
