Fix eth2_network_simulation for Windows.
* Remove artifacts.
* fix import

* Syncing workers now not bound to peers.
Sync status is now printed in statusbar.
* Add `SyncQueue.outSlot` to statusbar too.
* Add `inRangeEvent` and `rangeAge` parameter.
* Fix rangeAge is not depends on SyncQueue latest slot.
Fix syncManager to start from latest local head slot.
* Add notInRange event.
* Remove suspects field.
- delete "tests/simulation/{data,validators}" by default, because old
validator keys can lead to a crash with a cryptic error message
- actually start the Prometheus daemon on `make eth2_network_simulation`
- kill any running Prometheus daemon on exit
- fix some shell script syntax incompatible with Bash
* don't write blocks that get added to database
* don't write states
* write to folders
* add state dumping feature to `ncli_db` to get any known state from the
database
- each BN gets half of its previous validators as inProcess and the other half goes to the respective VC for that BN - using separate data dirs where the keys are copied
- also removed a few command line options which are no longer necessary
- block proposals originating from a VC are propagated from one BN to the rest properly
- other cleanup & moving code back to since it is no longer used elsewhere
These are the 3 most important things in the life of a beacon-node -
finalization checkpoint for security, head + time for seeing that we're
synced and working.
The order given is the expected increasing order that things should be
moving in - finalization lags head, and head lags clock - the structure
helps the user remember, but also see the pattern where time is getting
out of sync with head.
A validator would also want to know when the next action is going to be
(ie next attestation / block production) but that's for another day.
* be stricter about SSZ length prefix
* compute zeroHash list at compile time
* remove SSZ schema stuff
* move SSZ navigation to ncli
* cleanup a few leftover openArray uses
- we have a new binary which connects via RPC to the respective BN and has an internal clock - waking it up on every slot
- the BN has a new option called --external-validators and currently in order to have the VC binaries to run we need to pass EXTERNAL_VALIDATORS=yes to make
- factored some code out of beacon_node.nim for easier reuse in validator_api.nim and validator_client.nim
- the VC loads its associated private keys from the datadir for its BN
- most of the validator API calls have been implemented as a stub.
- the VC polls its BN at the start of each epoch - getting a list of all active validators for the current epoch - and then continues to request blocks and sign them with its appropriate validators when necessary
