Always-on optimistic mode (#4458) 
With https://github.com/status-im/nimbus-eth2/pull/4420 implemented, the
checks that we perform are equivalent to those of a `SYNCING` EL - as
such, we can treat missing EL the same as SYNCING and proceed with an
optimistic sync.

This mode of operation significantly speeds up recovery after an offline
EL event because the CL is already synced and can immediately inform the
EL of the latest head.

It also allows using a beacon node for consensus archival queries
without an execution client.

* deprecate `--optimistic` flag
* log block details on EL error, soften log level because we can now
continue to operate
* `UnviableFork` -> `Invalid` when block hash verification fails -
failed hash verification is not a fork-related block issue

README.md

The Nimbus Guide is written using markdown and material for mkdocs.

See the Makefile for setup.

The guide is divided into several sections - broadly:

  • Guides - walk-throughs that allow the user to get started with a specific area of the client
  • How-to:s - short pages that show the user how to solve a specific problem or perform a specific task
  • Reference - pages describing how specific parts of Nimbus work, reference-style
  • "Other" - explanations of concepts, background etc.
