performance fixes (#2259)
* performance fixes

* don't mark tree cache as dirty on read-only List accesses
* store only blob in memory for keys and signatures, parse blob lazily
* compare public keys by blob instead of parsing / converting to raw
* compare Eth2Digest using non-constant-time comparison
* avoid some unnecessary validator copying

This branch will in particular speed up deposit processing which has
been slowing down block replay.

```

* more perf fixes

* load EpochRef cache into StateCache more aggressively
* point out security concern with public key cache
* reuse proposer index from state when processing block
* avoid genericAssign in a few more places
* don't parse key when signature is unparseable
* fix `==` overload for Eth2Digest
* preallocate validator list when getting active validators
* speed up proposer index calculation a little bit
* reuse cache when replaying blocks in ncli_db
* avoid a few more copying loops
