Similar to the existing `RewardInfo`, this PR adds the infrastructure
needed to export epoch processing information from altair+. Because
accounting is done somewhat differently, the PR uses a fork-specific
object to extrct the information in order to make the cost on the spec
side low.
* RewardInfo -> EpochInfo, ForkedEpochInfo
* use array for computing new sync committee
* avoid repeated total active balance computations in block processing
* simplify proposer index check
* simplify epoch transition tests
* pre-compute base increment and reuse in epoch processing, and a few
other small optimizations
This PR introduces the type and does the heavy lifting in terms of
refactoring - the tools that use the accounting will need separate PR:s
(as well as refinements to the exportred information)
So far, `withState` and `withBlck` templates could only be used to have
convenience access to fork-agnostic BeaconState and BeaconBlock fields.
This patch:
- injects an additional `stateFork` constant that allows to use
`when` expressions to also access Altair and Merge-specific fields.
- introduces a `withStateAndBlck` template to support operating on both
a `BeaconState` and `BeaconBlock` at a time.
- makes sync committee related functions Merge aware.
- changes a couple if-else trees for forks into case statements so that
forgotten future forks are promoted to compile-time errors.
There are a few locations in the code that compare the current epoch to
the various FORK_EPOCH constants and branch off into fork-specific code.
When a new fork is introduced, it is sometimes forgotten to update all
of those branch locations. This patch introduces a compile-time check
that ensures that all branches need to be covered exhaustively. This is
done by replacing if-elif structures with case expressions.
When sync committee message handling was introduced in #2830, the edge
case of the same validator being selected multiple times as part of a
sync subcommittee was not covered. Not handling that edge case makes
sync contributions have a lower-than-expected participation rate as each
sync validator is only counted up through once per subcommittee.
This patch ensures that this edge case is properly covered.
* Placing callbacks into strategic places.
* Initial events call implementation.
* Post rebase fixes.
* Change addSyncContribution() implementation.
* Add `attestation-sent` event.

This PR continues the work in
https://github.com/status-im/nimbus-eth2/pull/2646,
https://github.com/status-im/nimbus-eth2/pull/2779 as well as past
issues with serialization and type, to disentangle SSZ from eth2 and at
the same time simplify imports and exports with a structured approach.
The principal idea here is that when a library wants to introduce SSZ
support, they do so via 3 files:
* `ssz_codecs` which imports and reexports `codecs` - this covers the
basic byte conversions and ensures no overloads get lost
* `xxx_merkleization` imports and exports `merkleization` to specialize
and get access to `hash_tree_root` and friends
* `xxx_ssz_serialization` imports and exports `ssz_serialization` to
specialize ssz for a specific library
Those that need to interact with SSZ always import the `xxx_` versions
of the modules and never `ssz` itself so as to keep imports simple and
safe.
This is similar to how the REST / JSON-RPC serializers are structured in
that someone wanting to serialize spec types to REST-JSON will import
`eth2_rest_serialization` and nothing else.
* split up ssz into a core library that is independendent of eth2 types
* rename `bytes_reader` to `codec` to highlight that it contains coding
and decoding of bytes and native ssz types
* remove tricky List init overload that causes compile issues
* get rid of top-level ssz import
* reenable merkleization tests
* move some "standard" json serializers to spec
* remove `ValidatorIndex` serialization for now
* remove test_ssz_merkleization
* add tests for over/underlong byte sequences
* fix broken seq[byte] test - seq[byte] is not an SSZ type
There are a few things this PR doesn't solve:
* like #2646 this PR is weak on how to handle root and other
dontSerialize fields that "sometimes" should be computed - the same
problem appears in REST / JSON-RPC etc
* Fix a build problem on macOS
* Another way to fix the macOS builds

The spec imports are a mess to work with, so this branch cleans them up
a bit to ensure that we avoid generic sandwitches and that importing
stuff generally becomes easier.
* reexport crypto/digest/presets because these are part of the public
symbol set of the rest of the spec types
* don't export `merge` types from `base` - this causes circular deps
* fix circular deps in `ssz/spec_types` - this is the first step in
disentangling ssz from spec
* be explicit about phase0 vs altair - longer term, `altair` will become
the "natural" type set, then merge and so on, so no point in giving
`phase0` special preferential treatment
Simpler module name for stuff that covers forks
* check that runtime config matches database state
* also include some assorted altair cleanups
* use "standard" genesis fork in local testnet to work around missing
runtime config support
* update validator key cache on startup
Versions prior to 1.1.0 do not write a validator key cache at all.
Versions from 1.4.0 and upwards require an immutable validator key cache
to verify blocks - normally, block verification fills the cache but that
assumes that at least one block was verified by a version that has the
key cache.
Taken together, this breaks direct upgrades from anything <1.1.0 to
1.4.0.
The fix is simply to refresh fill the cache from an existing state on
startup.
* also log serious block validation failures at info level
* Implement split preset/config support
This is the initial bulk refactor to introduce runtime config values in
a number of places, somewhat replacing the existing mechanism of loading
network metadata.
It still needs more work, this is the initial refactor that introduces
runtime configuration in some of the places that need it.
The PR changes the way presets and constants work, to match the spec. In
particular, a "preset" now refers to the compile-time configuration
while a "cfg" or "RuntimeConfig" is the dynamic part.
A single binary can support either mainnet or minimal, but not both.
Support for other presets has been removed completely (can be readded,
in case there's need).
There's a number of outstanding tasks:
* `SECONDS_PER_SLOT` still needs fixing
* loading custom runtime configs needs redoing
* checking constants against YAML file
* yeerongpilly support
`build/nimbus_beacon_node --network=yeerongpilly --discv5:no --log-level=DEBUG`
* load fork epoch from config
* fix fork digest sent in status
* nicer error string for request failures
* fix tools
* one more
* fixup
* fixup
* fixup
* use "standard" network definition folder in local testnet
Files are loaded from their standard locations, including genesis etc,
to conform to the format used in the `eth2-networks` repo.
* fix launch scripts, allow unknown config values
* fix base config of rest test
* cleanups
* bundle mainnet config using common loader
* fix spec links and names
* only include supported preset in binary
* drop yeerongpilly, add altair-devnet-0, support boot_enr.yaml
* Implement the new Altair req/resp protocols
Also fixes the altair message-id computation by providing the correct
forkdigest prefix in `isAltairTopic`.

just after startup faster / more predictable.

as well (one less cache to keep in sync)

epoch, when applying states and slots

Instead of keeping a validator key list per EpochRef, this PR introduces
a single shared validator key list in ChainDAG, and cleans up some other
ChainDAG and key-related issues.
The PR does not introduce the validator key list in the state transition
- this is because we batch-check all signatures before entering the spec
code, thus the spec code never hits the cache.
A future refactor should _probably_ remove the threadvar altogether.
There's a few other small fixes in here that make the flow easier to
read:
* fix `var ChainDAGRef` -> `ChainDAGRef`
* fix `var QuarantineRef` -> `QuarantineRef`
* consistent `dag` variable name
* avoid using threadvar pubkey cache in most cases
* better error messages in batch signature checking
* update ChainDAG.effective_balance() to use StateData; rm unused ChainDAG.getBlockByPreciseSlot()
* update get_effective_balances to avoid god object; avoid most memory allocation in Altair epoch reward and penalty processing
* don't consider legacy database when writing state - this read is slow
on kvstore
* avoid epoch transition when there's an exact match in cache already
* simplify init to only consider checkpoint states
This way we perform the expensive epoch processing before the block
arrives.
Of course, this may lead to speculative misses which in turn lead to
replays - it's likely that in the case of a miss, we'll see a replay
regardless.
