Zahary Karadjov b3d23c052c Switch to 30 seconds slot duration; UX improvements
* On the testnet site, the first N instead of the last N validators
  will be considered reserved for users

* The number of validators is consistently named `totalValidators`
  in all commands

* Proper keys are generated by default in validator_keygen

Zahary Karadjov 6a35d3584d Automate the creation of the network metadata files
With these changes, running a simulation is very close to running
an actual testnet. Some checks have been added in the client to
make sure you are not connecting to an incompatible network (e.g.
a network running with a different number of shards).

Bruno Škvorc e69702bab5 Use environment variables (#176)
Passing along no-name command line arguments when using make (from Nimbus) would need make target revamps that are a bit clumsy AFAIK, so using environment variables in the spirit of USE_MULTITAIL to get the number of validators and nodes makes more sense to me.

This lets us run the sim from nim-beacon-chain with

```bash
VALIDATORS=512 NODES=100 USE_MULTITAIL="yes" tests/simulation/start.sh
```

and from Nimbus with:

```bash
VALIDATORS=512 NODES=100 USE_MULTITAIL="yes" make eth2_network_simulation
```

Also makes for a more verbose launch process.

Jacek Sieka aec31b1126 Updates for finalizing chain! (#162)
* set epoch_boundary_root - chain finalizes!
* fix slotStart to offset GENESIS_SLOT
* work around bug that will be fixed by
https://github.com/ethereum/eth2.0-specs/pull/732
* compile with debug info (there was a GC-related crash in C land)

Jacek Sieka 4d55cf8eea beacon node sim: various improvements (fixes #111) (#156)
* allow running more or fewer validators
* use deterministic key generation for tests to avoid exhausting system
RNG
* update README with simulator docs
* write the data of each validator to separate file, instead of a big
chainstart.json (makes it easier to run different validator counts)

follow minimal protocol rules
* update state head lazily
* log more stuff
* shortHash -> shortLog

initial state replay implementation
* fix initial attestation pool on reordered attestations

* load head block from database on startup, then load state
  * significantly changes database format
* move subscriptions to separate proc's
* implement block replay from historical state
* avoid rescheduling epoch actions on block receipt (why?)
* make sure genesis block is created and used
* relax initial state sim parameters a bit

Zahary Karadjov 8f9a5441f1 More reliable network simulation
You'll need the latest versions of nim-eth-p2p, nim-serialization
and nim-json-serialization.

Before starting the simulation script, make sure to delete any previous
json files from the simulation folder:

```
rm tests/simulation/*.json
tests/simulation/start.sh
```

This should survive the creation of few blocks before diying with a
block validation error.
