Implement `el_offline` and use it in the VC (#4295) ## Issue Addressed Closes https://github.com/sigp/lighthouse/issues/4291, part of #3613. ## Proposed Changes - Implement the `el_offline` field on `/eth/v1/node/syncing`. We set `el_offline=true` if: - The EL's internal status is `Offline` or `AuthFailed`, _or_ - The most recent call to `newPayload` resulted in an error (more on this in a moment). - Use the `el_offline` field in the VC to mark nodes with offline ELs as _unsynced_. These nodes will still be used, but only after synced nodes. - Overhaul the usage of `RequireSynced` so that `::No` is used almost everywhere. The `--allow-unsynced` flag was broken and had the opposite effect to intended, so it has been deprecated. - Add tests for the EL being offline on the upcheck call, and being offline due to the newPayload check. ## Why track `newPayload` errors? Tracking the EL's online/offline status is too coarse-grained to be useful in practice, because: - If the EL is timing out to some calls, it's unlikely to timeout on the `upcheck` call, which is _just_ `eth_syncing`. Every failed call is followed by an upcheck [here](https://github.com/sigp/lighthouse/blob/693886b94176faa4cb450f024696cb69cda2fe58/beacon_node/execution_layer/src/engines.rs#L372-L380), which would have the effect of masking the failure and keeping the status _online_. - The `newPayload` call is the most likely to time out. It's the call in which ELs tend to do most of their work (often 1-2 seconds), with `forkchoiceUpdated` usually returning much faster (<50ms). - If `newPayload` is failing consistently (e.g. timing out) then this is a good indication that either the node's EL is in trouble, or the network as a whole is. In the first case validator clients _should_ prefer other BNs if they have one available. In the second case, all of their BNs will likely report `el_offline` and they'll just have to proceed with trying to use them. ## Additional Changes - Add utility method `ForkName::latest` which is quite convenient for test writing, but probably other things too. - Delete some stale comments from when we used to support multiple execution nodes.
