* relax attestation validation when attestation is incoming but make it
more strict when adding to block
* share attestation validation logic between attestation pool and state
transition
* remove a bunch of redundant logging
* fix potential underflow in attestation delay checking
* fix committee used for attestation shard selection when attesting
* fix attestation data construction
* working justification, 1 node, 64 validators
* closer to tn1 params: 256 validators
* more debugging output; switch to minimum test case
* working justification and finalization in local network simulation
* fix currently incorrect state transition/attestation test assumption
* State sim compiles and run
* Works on libp2p testnet1
* Successfully update the state transition tests
* naive update of attestation pool (failing attstations can arrive in any order)
* Remove an official assert to allow attestation reordering
* rename get_genesis_beacon_state(...) to initialize_beacon_state_from_eth1(...); remove unused vestiges get_temporary_block_header(...) and get_empty_block(...); partly align initialize_beacon_state_from_eth1(...) with 0.8.0 version; implement CompactCommittee object type; update process_final_updates(...) to 0.8.0
* mark get_shard_delta(...) as 0.8.0
* mark get_total_active_balance(...) and epoch transition helper functions as 0.8.0
* move FORK_CHOICE_BALANCE_INCREMENT, not in spec anymore, to sole user in fork_choice
* remove some low-hanging perf silliness from get_winning_crosslink_and_attesting_indices(...) and switch inner/outer loop nesting order to get 10-15x function speedup for 128 and 512 validator cases by avoiding accidentally quadratic behavior, while keeping function signature unchanged and allowing easy ongoing verification of correctness of optimization
* avoid memory allocation with an openarray rather than seq
* update get_crosslink_deltas(...) to 0.8.0
* move non-spec ValidatorSetDeltaFlags from datatypes.nim to sync_protocol; fix mainnet MIN_ATTESTATION_INCLUSION_DELAY preset; update get_attestation_deltas(...) to 0.8.0; for 512 validators, get 90x speedup for get_attestation_deltas(...) from 179s to 2s
* explain purpose of when false portions, so they can be removed once accomplished
* replace BeaconState.finalized_{epoch,root} with BeaconState.finalized_checkpoint; rename get_delayed_activation_exit_epoch(...) to compute_activation_exit_epoch(...) and mark as 0.8.0; update get_churn_limit(...)/get_validator_churn_limit(...) to 0.8.0; update process_registry_updates(...) to 0.8.0
* update process_crosslinks(...) to 0.8.0; mark compute_start_slot_of_epoch(...) and get_committee_count(...) as 0.8.0
* mark Fork, is_slashable_validator(...), and get_beacon_proposer_index(...) as 0.8.0
* rename LATEST_SLASHED_EXIT_LENGTH to EPOCHS_PER_SLASHINGS_VECTOR; update process_slashings(...) to 0.8.0; remove pointless type conversion warning in get_previous_epoch(...)
* convert remaining references to finalized_epoch to finalized_checkpoint.epoch
* update slash_validator(...) to 0.8.0; mark inital value, Gwei, and time constants as 0.8.0; mark hash(...) and processBlockHeader(...) as 0.8.0
* rename WHISTLEBLOWING_REWARD_QUOTIENT to WHISTLEBLOWER_REWARD_QUOTIENT; rename LATEST_ACTIVE_INDEX_ROOTS_LENGTH to EPOCHS_PER_HISTORICAL_VECTOR (randao will also get merged into this); remove get_active_index_root(...); mark time parameter, signature domain types, and max operations per block constants as 0.8.0; update rewards and penalties constants to 0.8.0
* update is_valid_indexed_attestation(...) to 0.8.0; mark process_slot(...) as 0.8.0
* replace BeaconState.{current,previous}_justified_{epoch,root} with BeaconState.{current,previous}_justified_checkpoint
* rename slot_to_epoch(...) to compute_epoch_of_slot(...)
* rename aggregation_bitfield/custody_bitfield fields to aggregation_bits/custody_bits; rename convert_to_indexed(...) to get_indexed_attestation(...); mark BeaconBlockHeader as 0.8.0; update minimal preset MIN_ATTESTATION_INCLUSION_DELAY/time parameters in general to 0.8
* fix beacon node compilation; it used slightly different capitalizations of slot_to_epoch/slotToEpoch
* mark integer_squareroot(...), Deposit, VoluntaryExit, and Transfer as 0.8.0; rename get_epoch_start_slot(...) to compute_start_slot_of_epoch(...)
* add new Domain alias for uint64; rename bls_domain(...) to compute_domain(...), MAX_INDICES_PER_ATTESTATION to MAX_VALIDATORS_PER_COMMITTEE, and SignatureDomain to DomainType; update get_domain(...) to 0.8.0
* update/mark initiate_validator_exit(...) and Crosslink as 0.8.0; rename BeaconState.latest_block_roots -> BeaconState.block_roots; mark HistoricalBatch as 0.8.0
