Zahary Karadjov 2eacfc4685 Bump modules to take advantage of the new Json format flavors support 
Since quite a lot of additional procs were now compiled as generics, this lead to compiler bugs that had
to be worked-around:

* The `Domain` type was renamed to `Eth2Domain` to avoid compilation errors
  due to conflicts with `nativesockets.Domain`.
  Similarly, `eth2_network.KeyPair` was renamed to `NetKeyPair`.

* A new more robust version of `hexToByteArray` was added to stew

Networking

This folders hold a collection of modules to:

  • configure the Eth2 P2P network
  • discover, connect, and maintain quality Eth2 peers

Data received is handed other to the ../gossip_processing modules for validation.

Security concerns

  • Collusion: part of the peer selection must be kept random. This avoids peers bringing all their friends and colluding against a beacon node.
  • Denial-of-service: The beacon node must provide ways to handle burst of data that may come:
    • from malicious nodes trying to DOS us
    • from long periods of non-finality, creating lots of forks, attestations, forks
