* fix
* vendor
* remove all but one UnusedImport warning
* bump a few more spec version references from v0.10.1 to v0.11.1
* more v0.10.1 spec reference updates/removals

* refactor and fix merkle proof construction in test suite and thereby remove most remaining skipMerkleValidation flags, now unnecessary
* a few non-semantic comment update/removals
* initial fork-choice refactor
* Add fork_choice test for "no votes"
* Initial test with voting: fix handling of unknown validators and parent blocks
* Fix tiebreak of votes
* Cleanup debugging traces
* Complexify the vote test
* fakeHash use the bigEndian repr of number + fix tiebreak for good
* Stash changes: found critical bug in nimcrypto `==` and var openarray
* Passing fork choice tests with varying votes
* Add FFG fork choice scenario + fork choice to the test suite
* Not sure why lmdb / rocksdb reappeared in rebase
* Add sanity checks to .nimble file + integrate fork choice tests to the test DB and test timing
* Cleanup debugging echos
* nimcrypto fix https://github.com/status-im/nim-beacon-chain/pull/864 as been merged, remove TODO comment
* Turn fork choice exception-free
* Cleanup "result" to ensure early return is properly used
* Add a comment on private/public error code vs Result
* result -> results following https://github.com/status-im/nim-beacon-chain/pull/866
* Address comments:
- raises: [Defect] doesn't work -> TODO
- process_attestation cannot fail
- try/except as expression pending Nim v1.2.0
- cleanup TODOs
* re-enable all sanity checks
* tag no raise for process_attestation
* use raises defect everywhere in fork choice and fix process_attestation test
* initial 0.11.1 spec commit; no test regressions and finalizes in eth2_network_simulation
* with BLS 0.10/0.11 available, stop skipping attester slashing, proposer slashing, and voluntary exist operations fixture tests
* switch param orders to group state.{fork, genesis_validators_root}; bump spec/datatypes spec version for network purposes
* mark attestation construction and broadcast and some minimal/mainnet constants as 0.11.1-compatible; remove phase 1 sharding constants from minimal which don't exist in that preset
* refactor --verify-finalization from run_node to only be invoked via eth2_network_simulation and local sim; clean up various shell issues
* remove hardcoded --verify-finalization in launch_local_testnet
* complete (except for get_domain(...)) 0.11.0 beacon chain spec update
* mark compute_start_slot_at_epoch(...), is_active_validator(...), compute_signing_root(...), and get_seed(...) as 0.11.0
* Initial implementation of runtime bls skipping.
Add libnfuzz skipBLSValidation handling, check that it propagates.
* Rename skipBLSValidation -> skipBlsValidation, start skipStateRootValidation
* Replace skipValidation flags with more granular flags.
Also added skipBlockParentRootValidation flag
Mainly replaced with skipBlsValidation but also StateRoot or
BlockParentRootValidation flags where appropriate.
* Adjust interop test to pass when skipping merkle validation.
* Stop skipping validation for mainchain_monitor.
* Remove comment.
* Also skipMerkleValidation for test_beacon_chain_db.
