* add test suite for voluntary exit
* update API to process_voluntary_exit
* Add range check of validator_index for voluntary exits
* Revert to dual single + multiple voluntary exits API + enable in test suite
* no cache or mocking needed
* Add attestation unit test
* process_attestation doesn't throw exceptions
* Allow SSZ deserialization of both real and invalid signatures
* Add new process_attestation checks - pass all process_attestation tests
* Add sanity check for #361
* Fix SSZ testing after fromBytes/fromSSZBytes changes
* Fixed getBeaconBlocks() and getRecentBeaconBlocks() to use BlockPool, not db.
* Got the sync_protocol to compiling state; Removed all obsolete RPC calls
* fix network sim
* mark BeaconState, state list/vector lengths, misc values, get_base_reward(...), verifyStateRoot(...), and process_slot(...) as 0.8.3; update minimal/mainnet config initial values to 0.8.3 by removing GENESIS_FORK_VERSION
* Add sanity check for slot processing (also impacted by https://github.com/status-im/nim-beacon-chain/issues/373)
* use reportDiff also for all state tests vs EF
* initial sanity checks for blocks - workaround zero signature in block headers: https://github.com/status-im/nim-beacon-chain/issues/374
* Remove generic object variant compare commented code
* Add the one block state transition sanity checks
* generalize blocks test to multiple blocks
* simplify slots test runner
* Add official epoch transitions, sanity blocks, sanity slots to the test suite
* Fix index out-of-bounds in initiate_validator_exit - enable proposer slashings unittest
* Update BLS fixtures to 0.8.3
* Bump fixtures with shuffling with minimal preset
* Update shuffling tests
* parseTest generic over file format (Json or SSZ)
* Initial crosslink parsing commit for debugging Nim crash
* Workaround https://github.com/status-im/nim-beacon-chain/issues/369
* Crosslink test works for minimal - https://github.com/status-im/nim-beacon-chain/issues/369 is back on mainnet
* Use ref objects to workaround https://github.com/status-im/nim-beacon-chain/issues/369
* Generalize state transition epoch test to all epoch tests
* Fix slashing (potential uint64 overflow in previous spec)
* Add a state debugging macro to deeply inspect the wrong fields
* make reportDiff visible
* Improve the debug state macro for containers
* add interop launcher scripts
* stick validator_keygen into beacon_node
* fix lmd ghost slot number on missing block
* use mocked eth1data when producing blocks
* use bls public key method for withdrawal credentials
* fix deposit domain
* prefer lowercase for a bunch of toHex
* build simulation binary in data folder to avoid data types confusion
* Update fixtures to 0.8.3
* v0.8.1 tests use new test path
* LFS caching: handle multiple versions of json_tests
