456b313665 Tune GNU malloc (#2299)
## Issue Addressed

NA

## Proposed Changes

Modify the configuration of [GNU malloc](https://www.gnu.org/software/libc/manual/html_node/The-GNU-Allocator.html) to reduce memory footprint.

- Set `M_ARENA_MAX` to 4.
    - This reduces memory fragmentation at the cost of contention between threads.
- Set `M_MMAP_THRESHOLD` to 2mb
    - This means that any allocation >= 2mb is allocated via an anonymous mmap, instead of on the heap/arena. This reduces memory fragmentation since we don't need to keep growing the heap to find big contiguous slabs of free memory.
- ~~Run `malloc_trim` every 60 seconds.~~
    - ~~This shaves unused memory from the top of the heap, preventing the heap from constantly growing.~~
    - Removed, see: https://github.com/sigp/lighthouse/pull/2299#issuecomment-825322646

*Note: this only provides memory savings on the Linux (glibc) platform.*
    
## Additional Info

I'm going to close #2288 in favor of this for the following reasons:

- I've managed to get the memory footprint *smaller* here than with jemalloc.
- This PR seems to be less of a dramatic change than bringing in the jemalloc dep.
- The changes in this PR are strictly runtime changes, so we can create CLI flags which disable them completely. Since this change is wide-reaching and complex, it's nice to have an easy "escape hatch" if there are undesired consequences.

## TODO

- [x] Allow configuration via CLI flags
- [x] Test on Mac
- [x] Test on RasPi.
- [x] Determine if GNU malloc is present?
    - I'm not quite sure how to detect for glibc.. This issue suggests we can't really: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/33244
- [x] Make a clear argument regarding the affect of this on CPU utilization.
- [x] Test with higher `M_ARENA_MAX` values.
- [x] Test with longer trim intervals
- [x] Add some stats about memory savings
- [x] Remove `malloc_trim` calls & code

f8cc82f2b1 Switch back to warp with cors wildcard support (#2211)
## Issue Addressed

- Resolves #2204
- Resolves #2205

## Proposed Changes

Switches to my fork of `warp` which contains support for cors wildcards: https://github.com/paulhauner/warp/tree/cors-wildcard

I have a PR open on the `warp` repo but it hasn't had any interest from the maintainers as of yet: https://github.com/seanmonstar/warp/pull/726. I think running from a fork is the best we can do for now.

e20f64b21a Update to tokio 1.1 (#2172)
## Issue Addressed

resolves #2129
resolves #2099 
addresses some of #1712
unblocks #2076
unblocks #2153 

## Proposed Changes

- Updates all the dependencies mentioned in #2129, except for web3. They haven't merged their tokio 1.0 update because they are waiting on some dependencies of their own. Since we only use web3 in tests, I think updating it in a separate issue is fine. If they are able to merge soon though, I can update in this PR. 

- Updates `tokio_util` to 0.6.2 and `bytes` to 1.0.1.

- We haven't made a discv5 release since merging tokio 1.0 updates so I'm using a commit rather than release atm. **Edit:** I think we should merge an update of `tokio_util` to 0.6.2 into discv5 before this release because it has panic fixes in `DelayQueue`  --> PR in discv5:  https://github.com/sigp/discv5/pull/58

## Additional Info

tokio 1.0 changes that required some changes in lighthouse:

- `interval.next().await.is_some()` -> `interval.tick().await`
- `sleep` future is now `!Unpin` -> https://github.com/tokio-rs/tokio/issues/3028
- `try_recv` has been temporarily removed from `mpsc` -> https://github.com/tokio-rs/tokio/issues/3350
- stream features have moved to `tokio-stream` and `broadcast::Receiver::into_stream()` has been temporarily removed -> `https://github.com/tokio-rs/tokio/issues/2870
- I've copied over the `BroadcastStream` wrapper from this PR, but can update to use `tokio-stream` once it's merged https://github.com/tokio-rs/tokio/pull/3384

26741944b1 Add metrics to VC (#1954)
## Issue Addressed

NA

## Proposed Changes

- Adds a HTTP server to the VC which provides Prometheus metrics.
- Moves the health metrics into the `lighthouse_metrics` crate so it can be shared between BN/VC.
- Sprinkle some metrics around the VC.
- Update the book to indicate that we now have VC metrics.
- Shifts the "waiting for genesis" logic later in the `ProductionValidatorClient::new_from_cli`
  - This is worth attention during the review.

## Additional Info

- ~~`clippy` has some new lints that are failing. I'll deal with that in another PR.~~

a3704b971e Support pre-flight CORS check (#1772)
## Issue Addressed

- Resolves #1766 

## Proposed Changes

- Use the `warp::filters::cors` filter instead of our work-around.

## Additional Info

It's not trivial to enable/disable `cors` using `warp`, since using `routes.with(cors)` changes the type of `routes`.  This makes it difficult to apply/not apply cors at runtime. My solution has been to *always* use the `warp::filters::cors` wrapper but when cors should be disabled, just pass the HTTP server listen address as the only permissible origin.

703c33bdc7 Fix head tracker concurrency bugs (#1771)
## Issue Addressed

Closes #1557

## Proposed Changes

Modify the pruning algorithm so that it mutates the head-tracker _before_ committing the database transaction to disk, and _only if_ all the heads to be removed are still present in the head-tracker (i.e. no concurrent mutations).

In the process of writing and testing this I also had to make a few other changes:

* Use internal mutability for all `BeaconChainHarness` functions (namely the RNG and the graffiti), in order to enable parallel calls (see testing section below).
* Disable logging in harness tests unless the `test_logger` feature is turned on

And chose to make some clean-ups:

* Delete the `NullMigrator`
* Remove type-based configuration for the migrator in favour of runtime config (simpler, less duplicated code)
* Use the non-blocking migrator unless the blocking migrator is required. In the store tests we need the blocking migrator because some tests make asserts about the state of the DB after the migration has run.
* Rename `validators_keypairs` -> `validator_keypairs` in the `BeaconChainHarness`

## Testing

To confirm that the fix worked, I wrote a test using [Hiatus](https://crates.io/crates/hiatus), which can be found here:

https://github.com/michaelsproul/lighthouse/tree/hiatus-issue-1557

That test can't be merged because it inserts random breakpoints everywhere, but if you check out that branch you can run the test with:

```
$ cd beacon_node/beacon_chain
$ cargo test --release --test parallel_tests --features test_logger
```

It should pass, and the log output should show:

```
WARN Pruning deferred because of a concurrent mutation, message: this is expected only very rarely!
```

## Additional Info

This is a backwards-compatible change with no impact on consensus.

Implement standard eth2.0 API (#1569)
- Resolves #1550
- Resolves #824
- Resolves #825
- Resolves #1131
- Resolves #1411
- Resolves #1256
- Resolve #1177

- Includes the `ShufflingId` struct initially defined in #1492. That PR is now closed and the changes are included here, with significant bug fixes.
- Implement the https://github.com/ethereum/eth2.0-APIs in a new `http_api` crate using `warp`. This replaces the `rest_api` crate.
- Add a new `common/eth2` crate which provides a wrapper around `reqwest`, providing the HTTP client that is used by the validator client and for testing. This replaces the `common/remote_beacon_node` crate.
- Create a `http_metrics` crate which is a dedicated server for Prometheus metrics (they are no longer served on the same port as the REST API). We now have flags for `--metrics`, `--metrics-address`, etc.
- Allow the `subnet_id` to be an optional parameter for `VerifiedUnaggregatedAttestation::verify`. This means it does not need to be provided unnecessarily by the validator client.
- Move `fn map_attestation_committee` in `mod beacon_chain::attestation_verification` to a new `fn with_committee_cache` on the `BeaconChain` so the same cache can be used for obtaining validator duties.
- Add some other helpers to `BeaconChain` to assist with common API duties (e.g., `block_root_at_slot`, `head_beacon_block_root`).
- Change the `NaiveAggregationPool` so it can index attestations by `hash_tree_root(attestation.data)`. This is a requirement of the API.
- Add functions to `BeaconChainHarness` to allow it to create slashings and exits.
- Allow for `eth1::Eth1NetworkId` to go to/from a `String`.
- Add functions to the `OperationPool` to allow getting all objects in the pool.
- Add function to `BeaconState` to check if a committee cache is initialized.
- Fix bug where `seconds_per_eth1_block` was not transferring over from `YamlConfig` to `ChainSpec`.
- Add the `deposit_contract_address` to `YamlConfig` and `ChainSpec`. We needed to be able to return it in an API response.
- Change some uses of serde `serialize_with` and `deserialize_with` to a single use of `with` (code quality).
- Impl `Display` and `FromStr` for several BLS fields.
- Check for clock discrepancy when VC polls BN for sync state (with +/- 1 slot tolerance). This is not intended to be comprehensive, it was just easy to do.

- See #1434 for a per-endpoint overview.
- Seeking clarity here: https://github.com/ethereum/eth2.0-APIs/issues/75
