Extends fork choice state to also track slot numbers to improve accuracy
of `/eth/v1/debug/fork_choice` endpoint. Autoenable this API on devnet,
and disable some extra checks on devnet to aid focused testing efforts.
Align fork choice pruning logic with API based on checkpoints vs root.
* clean up some Nim 1.2 workarounds
* re-add notes about JS backend
* another proc/noSideEffect -> func
* revert ncli/ncli_common.nim changes; 19969 evidently wasn't backported to 1.6
To allow LC data retention longer than the one for historic states,
introduce persistent DB caches for `current_sync_committee` and
`LightClientHeader` for finalized epoch boundary blocks.
This way, historic `LightClientBootstrap` requests may still be honored
even after pruning. Note that historic `LightClientUpdate` requests are
already answered using fully persisted objects, so don't need changes.
Sync committees and headers are cached on finalization of new data.
For existing data, info is lazily cached on first access.

The "on" default for validator monitor details incurs a heavy
performance penalty on large-validator setups - this may cause excess
memory usage or slowdowns when metrics are queried - this PR changes the
default to off, as was intended for the 23.1.0 release.
* debug log upon sidecar validation failure
* Fill in signature catch upon SignedBeaconBlockAndBlobsSidecar deser
* Always fill blobssidecar slot and root
* Skip lastFCU when eth1monitor is nil
* fix
* Use cached root
When the epoch boundary block is missed, we incorrectly assume that the
next couple blocks improve finality, leading to repeated pushes of the
same light client finality update and incorrectly ignoring some gossip.
* combine common implementation of LC helpers
Combine replicated helper code from Altair/Capella/EIP4844 into single
`Forky` based implementation. Also convert `template` to `func` to avoid
selection of incorrect overload.
* fix
* eip4844 beacon block proposals
* Don't fetch blobs under minimal preset
@tersec's summary of the issue:
BlobsBundleV1 in the execution API spec assumes a mainnet preset blob
size, where the EIP4844 consensus spec defines
FIELD_ELEMENTS_PER_BLOB: 4 under the minimal preset, which leads to a
Blob having a length of 4 * 32, not 4096 * 32 which BlobsBundleV1
requires.
* Revert unintentional script change
* exit/validatorchange pool includes BLS to execution messages; REST
support for new pool
* catch failed individual futures
* increase BLS changes bound and keep BLS seen consistent with subpool
* deque capacities should be powers of 2
When accessing DB in `readOnly` mode that does not already have latest
schema, initial writes trigger `attempt to write a readonly database`.
Avoid that by only writing schema when DB is not `readOnly`, and provide
data from legacy tables if such are present.
* Refactor block/blobs types
Use type system to enforce invariant that a pre-4844 block cannot have
a sidecar.
* Update beacon_chain/nimbus_beacon_node.nim

When running `nimbus_light_client`, we persist the latest header from
`LightClientStore.finalized_header` in a database across restarts.
Because the data format is derived from the latest `LightClientStore`,
this could lead to data being persisted in pre-release formats.
To enable us to test later `LightClientStore` versions on devnets,
transition to a `ForkedLightClientStore` internally that is only
migrated to newer forks on-demand (instead of starting at latest).
By enabling the validator monitor, more precise information about the
lifecycle of an attestation is logged at the higher `NOTICE` log level
while current `sent` messages are logged at `INF` instead, since they
are less interesting.
In particular, missed attestations and those that vote for the wrong
head are now detected and logged at NOTICE.
In addition to logging, this feature enables rich metrics around
attestation and sync committee performance - by default, validators are
tracked in aggregate but a detailed mode exists as well
This feature has been available since early Nimbus days, but it has now
been tuned and optimised such that it is safe to enable by default, even
for large setups.
* enable automatic validator monitoring by default
* replace `--validator-monitor-totals` flag with
`--validator-monitor-details` - the detailed mode is disabled by default
* lower "sent" log level to `INF` for several messages - in particular
those that are traced by the validator monitor
This is a retake on #3531 which was later reverted in #3578.
Distinguish between those code locations that need to be updated on each
light client data format change, and those others that should generally
be fine, as long as a valid light client object is processed.
The former are tagged with static assert for `LightClientDataFork.high`.
The latter are changed to `lcDataFork > LightClientDataFork.None` to
indicate that they depend only on presence of any valid object.
Also bundled a few minor cleanups and fixes.
Also add `Forky` type for `LightClientStore` and minor fixes / cleanups.
