* Feature/22 test handling incoming events (#30)

* Checkpoint before the weekend

* Update location for SetupPostgresDB

* Include first functioning tests for processing head

* Fix gitignore

* Test CaptureHead | Add Metrics | Handle Test Race Conditions

This Commit allows us to:

* Test the `CaptureHead` function.
* Test parsing a single Head message.
* Test a Reorg condition.
* Add Metrics. This is primarily used for testing but can have future use cases.
* Rearrange the test due to race conditions introduced by reusing a variable. `BeforeEach` can't be used to update `BC`.

* Update and finalize testing at this stage

* Update code and CI/CD

* Fix lint errors

* Update CICD and fail when file not found.

* Update test to have failed as expected.

* Remove Test file

* Add KnownGaps Errors (#33)

* Handle Skipped Slots (#34)

* Ensure that the node is synced at boot time

* Update test + add logic for checking skipped slots

* Update boot check

* Add skip_sync to config.

* Update a test so it fails

* go mod updates

* Integrate MHKey into existing code base.

* Update go.mod and go.sum

* Utilize the MHkey

* Stop tests from running forever on failure.

* Use sszRoot instead of sszObj for MhKey

* Update entrypoint script

* Update config parameter

+#### Understanding Testing Components
+
+A few notes about the testing components.
+
+- The `TestEvents` map contains several events for testers to leverage when testing.
+- Any object ending in `-dummy` is not a real object. You will also notice it has a present field called `MimicConfig`. This object will use an existing SSZ object, and update the parameters from the `Head` and `MimicConfig`.
+  - This is done because creating an empty or minimal `SignedBeaconBlock` and `BeaconState` is fairly challenging.
+  - By slightly modifying an existing object, we can test re-org, malformed objects, and other negative conditions.

+- CheckedOut - Indicates if any process is currently processing this entry.
+- ErrorMessage - Captures any error message that might have occurred when previously processing this entry.

+- EntryProcess - The entry process that added this process. Potential options are StartUp, Error, HeadGap.
