Migrate docs to mkdocs (#3900)
`mkdocs` works with markdown similar to `mdbook` but is generally more
pleasing to the eye and has several nice UX features.

This PR does the bulk of the transition - likely, a followup would be
needed to fully make use of the extra features and navigation.

Book pages have been kept url-compatible, meaning that for the most
part, old links should continue to work!

Polish, remove beta warning for validator monitor (#3531)
Validator monitoring improves logging by giving more specific monitoring
information, and can now be seen as complete.

Previously, logging has focused on "Attestation sent" messages which
carry little informational value when things go wrong, and are overly
aggressive when everything works as expected (sending attestations is
the norm).

* lower "Attestation sent" log to `INFO`
* mark 1.7.0 as the start of the validator monitor feature - previous
versions had significant bugs in totals mode

3df9ffca9f val-mon: remove redundant _total suffix from counters
It turns out nim-metrics adds this suffix on its own - it also turns out
some of the names are non-conventional and need follow-up.

Validator monitoring (#2925)
Validator monitoring based on and mostly compatible with the
implementation in Lighthouse - tracks additional logs and metrics for
specified validators so as to stay on top on performance.

The implementation works more or less the following way:
* Validator pubkeys are singled out for monitoring - these can be
running on the node or not
* For every action that the validator takes, we record steps in the
process such as messages being seen on the network or published in the
API
* When the dust settles at the end of an epoch, we report the
information from one epoch before that, which coincides with the
balances being updated - this is a tradeoff between being correct
(waiting for finalization) and providing relevant information in a
timely manner)
