The `pyrmont` testnet has been discontinued.
For experiments, it's still possible to run pyrmont nodes by passing a
genesis/config, but this PR removes the bundled `--network:pyrmont`
option.
* update docs
* remove empty docs
* remove obsolete `eth2-stats` page
* Logging and startup improvements
Color support for released binaries!
* startup scripts no longer log to file by default - this only affects
source builds - released binaries don't support file logging
* add --log-stdout option to control logging to stdout (colors, json)
* detect tty:s vs redirected logs and log accordingly
* add option to disable log colors at runtime
* simplify several "common" logs, showing the most important information
earlier and more clearly
* remove line numbers / file information / tid - these take up space and
are of little use to end users
* still enabled in debug builds and tools
* remove `testnet_servers_image` compile-time option
* server images, released binaries and compile-from-source now offer
the same behaviour and features
* fixes https://github.com/status-im/nimbus-eth2/issues/2326
* fixes https://github.com/status-im/nimbus-eth2/issues/1794
* remove instanteneous block speed from sync message, keeping only
average

instead of Ubuntu-18.04. This fixes a crash when stress-testing the
metrics HTTP server. We think it was due to gcc-7.4.0 miscompiling
something. The new distro/version gives us gcc-8.3.0, but with the same
old glibc-2.28 we need on Raspbian.
By moving from Nim's default of "-g3" to "-g1" we get binaries that are
half as large and still have enough debugging symbols for backtraces,
but not enough for GDB debugging.
We're moving from very slow QEMU-virtualised builds to very fast ones
based on cross toolchains.
- refactor jobs; add checksums to release note
- build and publish Docker images with ARM/ARM64 binaries
Reducing those iterations results in a buggy compiler that causes
nimbus_beacon_node to fail at runtime with:
"FAT 2021-01-09 21:19:52.417+01:00 Could not obtain PeerID from network key topics="networking" tid=26805 file=eth2_network.nim:1393"
* Linux AMD64 binary distribution
The builds are reproducible, as long as our base Docker Hub image
remains available.
tl;dr: `make dist`
* use UTC dates
