* electra attestation updates
In Electra, we have two attestation formats: on-chain and on-network -
the former combines all committees of a slot in a single committee bit
list.
This PR makes a number of cleanups to move towards fixing this -
attestation packing however still needs to be fixed as it currently
creates attestations with a single committee only which is very
inefficient.
* more attestations in the blocks
* signing and aggregation fixes
* tool fix
* test, import
#6087 introduced a subtle change to `nim-web3` resulting in `Gwei` to be
serialized differently than before. Using a `distinct` type for `Gwei`
improves type safety and avoids such problems in the future.
This PR allows sharing the pubkey data between validators by using a
thread-local cache for pubkey data, netting about a 400mb mem usage
reduction on holesky due to us keeping 3 permanent + several ephemeral
state copies in memory at all times and each state copy holding a full
validator.
The PR also introduces a hash cache for the key which gives ~14% speedup
for a full state `hash_tree_root` - the key makes up for a large part of
the `Validator` htr time.
Finally, the time it takes to copy a state goes down as well from ~80m
ms to ~60, for reasons similar to htr.
We use a `ptr` even if a `ref` could in theory have been used - there is
not much practical benefit to a `ref` (given it's mutable) while a `ptr`
is cheaper and easier to copy (when copying temporary states).
We could go further and cache a cooked pubkey but it turns out this is
quite intrusive - in all the relevant places, we're already using a
cooked key from the immutable validator data so there are no immediate
performance gains of doing so while managing the compressed -> cooked
key mapping would become more difficult - something for a future PR
perhaps.
