## Issue Addressed
NA
## Proposed Changes
Copied from #2083, changes the config milliseconds_per_slot to seconds_per_slot to avoid errors when slot duration is not a multiple of a second. To avoid deserializing old serialized data (with milliseconds instead of seconds) the Serialize and Deserialize derive got removed from the Spec struct (isn't currently used anyway).
This PR replaces #2083 for the purpose of fixing a merge conflict without requiring the input of @blacktemplar.

## Issue Addressed
- Resolves#1883
## Proposed Changes
This follows on from @blacktemplar's work in #2018.
- Allows the VC to connect to multiple BN for redundancy.
- Update the simulator so some nodes always need to rely on their fallback.
- Adds some extra deprecation warnings for `--eth1-endpoint`
- Pass `SignatureBytes` as a reference instead of by value.

## Issue Addressed
NA
## Proposed Changes
Fixes problems with slot times below 1 second which got revealed by running the syncing simulator with the default speedup time.
## Description
This PR updates Lighthouse to tokio 0.3. It includes a number of dependency updates and some structural changes as to how we create and spawn tasks.
This also brings with it a number of various improvements:
- Discv5 update
- Libp2p update
- Fix for recompilation issues
- Improved UPnP port mapping handling
- Futures dependency update
- Log downgrade to traces for rejecting peers when we've reached our max

## Issue Addressed
part of #1883
## Proposed Changes
Adds a new cli argument `--eth1-endpoints` that can be used instead of `--eth1-endpoint` to specify a comma-separated list of endpoints. If the first endpoint returns an error for some request the other endpoints are tried in the given order.
## Additional Info
Currently if the first endpoint fails the fallbacks are used silently (except for `try_fallback_test_endpoint` that is used in `do_update` which logs a `WARN` for each endpoint that is not reachable). A question is if we should add more logs so that the user gets warned if his main endpoint is for example just slow and sometimes hits timeouts.
## Issue Addressed
#1606
## Proposed Changes
Uses dynamic gossipsub scoring parameters depending on the number of active validators as specified in https://gist.github.com/blacktemplar/5c1862cb3f0e32a1a7fb0b25e79e6e2c.
## Additional Info
Although the parameters got tested on Medalla, extensive testing using simulations on larger networks is still to be done and we expect that we need to change the parameters, although this might only affect constants within the dynamic parameter framework.
## Issue Addressed
Fixes#1509
## Proposed Changes
Exit the beacon node if the eth1 endpoint points to an invalid eth1 network. Check the network id before every eth1 cache update and display an error log if the network id has changed to an invalid one.
## Issue Addressed
Resolve#1387
## Proposed Changes
Replace flag name **end_after_checks** to ** continue_after_checks**
Change condition to simple (remove **!**, It's no change logic.)

## Proposed Changes
- Introduces the `valdiator_definitions.yml` file which serves as an explicit list of validators that should be run by the validator client.
- Removes `--strict` flag, split into `--strict-lockfiles` and `--disable-auto-discover`
- Adds a "Validator Management" page to the book.
- Adds the `common/account_utils` crate which contains some logic that was starting to duplicate across the codebase.
The new docs for this feature are the best description of it (apart from the code, I guess): 9cb87e93ce/book/src/validator-management.md
## API Changes
This change should be transparent for *most* existing users. If the `valdiator_definitions.yml` doesn't exist then it will be automatically generated using a method that will detect all the validators in their `validators_dir`.
Users will have issues if they are:
1. Using `--strict`.
1. Have keystores in their `~/.lighthouse/validators` directory that weren't being detected by the current keystore discovery method.
For users with (1), the VC will refuse to start because the `--strict` flag has been removed. They will be forced to review `--help` and choose an equivalent flag.
For users with (2), this seems fairly unlikely and since we're only in testnets there's no *real* value on the line here. I'm happy to take the risk, it would be a different case for mainnet.
## Additional Info
This PR adds functionality we will need for #1347.
## TODO
- [x] Reconsider flags
- [x] Move doc into a more reasonable chapter.
- [x] Check for compile warnings.
