The exports in `eth2_discovery` produce deprecation warnings as they
refer to `close`, `closeWait` and so on. Turns out that they are not
necessary at all. The `Eth2DiscoveryProtocol` is even already exported
two lines above using `*` marker...
* Avoid global in p2p macro (fixes#4578)
* copy p2p macro to this repo and start de-crufting it
* make protocol registration dynamic, removing light client hacks et al
* split out light client protocol into its own file
* cleanups
* Option -> Opt
* remove more cruft
* further split beacon_sync
this allows the light client to respond to peer metadata messages
without exposing the block sync protocol
* better protocol init
* "constant" protocol index
* avoid casts
* copyright
* move some discovery code to discovery
* avoid extraneous data copy when sending chunks
* remove redundant forkdigest field
* document how to connect to a specific peer
We have several modules that import `nim-eth` for the sole purpose of
its `keys.newRng` function. This function is meanwhile a simple wrapper
around `nim-bearssl`'s `HmacDrbgContext.new()`, so the import doesn't
really serve a use anymore. Replace `keys.newRng` with the direct call
to reduce `nim-eth` imports.
Introduces a new library for syncing using libp2p based light client
sync protocol, and adds a new `nimbus_light_client` executable that uses
this library for syncing. The new executable emits log messages when
new beacon block headers are received, and is integrated into testing.
* Support for Gnosis Chain
`make gnosis-chain-build` will build the Nimbus gnosis chain binary,
stored in `build/nimbus_beacon_node_for_gnosis_chain`.
`make gnosis-chain` will connect to the network.
Other changes:
* Restore compilation with -d:has_genesis_detection
* Removed Makefile target related to testnet0 and testnet1
* Added more debug logging for failed peer handshakes
* Report misconfigured builds which try to embed network metadata
that is incompatible with the currently selected const preset.
* Don't bundle network metadata in minimal builds, as they are not compatible
