Trusted node sync (#3209)
* Trusted node sync

Trusted node sync, aka checkpoint sync, allows syncing tyhe chain from a
trusted node instead of relying on a full sync from genesis.

Features include:

* sync from any slot, including the latest finalized slot
* backfill blocks either from the REST api (default) or p2p (#3263)

Future improvements:

* top up blocks between head in database and some other node - this
makes for an efficient backup tool
* recreate historical state to enable historical queries

* fixes

* load genesis from network metadata
* check checkpoint block root against state
* fix invalid block root in rest json decoding
* odds and ends

* retry looking for epoch-boundary checkpoint blocks

The books in this folder were produced using mdBook - see installation guide.

Some books also use mdbook-toc for tables of contents.

# Install or update tooling (make sure you add "~/.cargo/bin" to PATH):
cargo install mdbook mdbook-toc mdbook-open-on-gh

# Work on the book locally - open "http://localhost:4000" for live version
cd docs/the_nimbus_book
mdbook serve -p 4000

# Publish book using makefile (in the top-level dir)
make publish-book
