* Eliminate possibilities for range errors and overflows
* Handle more properly invalid requests for furute slots
* Eliminate the confusing surrounding the MAX_REQUEST_BLOCKS constant
Addresses https://github.com/status-im/nim-beacon-chain/issues/1366
removed in 0.12.2 - the flow, in particular when the other peer doesn't
support snappy, is hard to follow because of the trial-and-error
approach - removing it simplifies things and removes some of the
hard-to-read parts of the thunking etc
this resolves some peer counting issues that were happening because the
lifetime future in PeerInfo was unreliable (multiple PeerInfo instances
existed per peer)
In addition, this solves another race condition: when connecting to a
peer and later dialling that protocol, it is not certain that the same
connection will be used if there's a concurrent incoming peer connection
ongoing - better not make too many assumptions about who sent statuses
when.
* Allow sync manager process blocks one by one.
* Log storeBlock() and updateHead() duration.
* Calculate duration only for blocks added without any error.
* Fix float compilation error.
* Fix duration.
* Fix SyncQueue tests.
* remove one cache, add another
This cache removes the need for rewinding in most attestation validation
flow since the attestations come from one of two epochs and must be
targetting a viable block.
Additionally, it also removes all state caches which are less likely to
be used over-all - more metrics are needed to track the rewinding.
On risk is that when chains don't finalize, we'll have lots of epochrefs
in memory meaning lots of validator key databases, most being exactly
the same. This can be addressed in any number of ways. Some of the
memory usage is mitigated by the fact that we previously had lots of big
state caches and now we're keeping only keys instead.
* cleanups
* doc
Rationale: this makes moving keys between the clients eaiser
Other changes:
* Restore building with custom presets
(defaultRuntimePreset is not a template in this mode)
