Time in the beacon chain is expressed relative to the genesis time - this PR creates a `beacon_time` module that collects helpers and utilities for dealing the time units - the new module does not deal with actual wall time (that's remains in `beacon_clock`). Collecting the time related stuff in one place makes it easier to find, avoids some circular imports and allows more easily identifying the code actually needs wall time to operate. * move genesis-time-related functionality into `spec/beacon_time` * avoid using `chronos.Duration` for time differences - it does not support negative values (such as when something happens earlier than it should) * saturate conversions between `FAR_FUTURE_XXX`, so as to avoid overflows * fix delay reporting in validator client so it uses the expected deadline of the slot, not "closest wall slot" * simplify looping over the slots of an epoch * `compute_start_slot_at_epoch` -> `start_slot` * `compute_epoch_at_slot` -> `epoch` A follow-up PR will (likely) introduce saturating arithmetic for the time units - this is merely code moves, renames and fixing of small bugs. |

Introduction
ncli is a set of low level / debugging tools to interact with the nimbus beacon chain specification implementation, simliar to zcli. With it, you explore SSZ, make state transitions and compute hash tree roots.
Tools
- transition: Perform state transition given a pre-state and a block to apply (both in SSZ format)
- hash_tree_root: Print tree root of an SSZ object
- pretty: Pretty-print SSZ object as JSON
Building
Follow the instructions from nimbus-eth2
git clone https://github.com/status-im/nimbus-eth2.git
cd nimbus-eth2
make
Usage
# Build with minimal config
../env.sh nim c -d:const_preset=minimal ncli_transition
# Build with mainnet config
../env.sh nim c -d:const_preset=mainnet ncli_transition
# Run..
./ncli_transition --help
