multihash key gen func (#36 )
* multihash key gen func * go mod updates * Added test to ensure the application shuts down gracefully or within a timeframe. * Disregard race condition since its with the test not the application itself * Capture the head block in the DB entirely. (#27) * -- Intermediary Commit -- Just want to commit my code over the weekend, in case I spill coffee on my workstation. * Create DB models ready for write. * Handle SSE events * Update ref for stack-orchestrator * Use env in one place only. * Boot Application on PR * Update syntax * Update syntax * Correct command * Use bash instead of sh * Use until instead of while * Make linter happy and check sse subscription err * Handle Reorgs - Untested * Feature/22 test handling incoming events - Intermediary Commit (#28) * Checkpoint before the weekend * Update location for SetupPostgresDB * 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 Co-authored-by: Abdul Rabbani <abdulrabbani00@gmail.com> Co-authored-by: Abdul Rabbani <58230246+abdulrabbani00@users.noreply.github.com>

+To run tests, you will need to clone another repository which contains all the ssz files.
+
+1. `git clone git@github.com:vulcanize/ssz-data.git pkg/beaconclient/ssz-data`
+2. To run unit tests, make sure you have a DB running: `make unit-test-local`

 # Development Patterns

 This section will cover some generic development patterns utilizes.
@ -58,9 +88,18 @@ This project utilizes `ginkgo` for testing. A few notes on testing:
 - All test packages are named `{base_package}_test`. This ensures we only test the public methods.
 - If there is a need to test a private method, please include why in the testing file.
 - Unit tests must contain the `Label("unit")`.
- Unit tests should not rely on any running service. If a running service is needed. Utilize an integration test.
+- Unit tests should not rely on any running service (except for a postgres DB). If a running service is needed. Utilize an integration test.
 - Integration tests must contain the `Label("integration")`.

+#### 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.

+Known Gaps tracking is handled within this package. The columns are as follows:
+
+- StartSlot - The start slot for known_gaps, inclusive.
+- EndSlot - The end slot for known_gaps, inclusive.
+- CheckedOut - Indicates if any process is currently processing this entry.
+- ErrorMessage - Captures any error message that might have occurred when previously processing this entry.
+- EntryTime - The time this range was added to the DB. This can help us catch ranges that have not been processed for a long time due to some error.
+- EntryProcess - The entry process that added this process. Potential options are StartUp, Error, HeadGap.
+  - This can help us understand how a specific entry was added. It can be useful for debugging the application.
+  - StartUp - Gaps found when we started the application.
+  - Error - Indicates that the entry was added due to an error with processing.
+  - HeadGap - Indicates that gaps where found when keeping up with Head.
