## Proposed Changes
This PR sets out to improve the logging/metrics experience when interacting with the builder. Namely, it:
- Adds/changes metrics (see "Metrics Changes" section).
- Adds new logs which show the duration of requests to the builder/local EL.
- Refactors existing logs for consistency and so that the `parent_hash` is include in all relevant logs (we can grep for this field when trying to trace the flow of block production).
Additionally, when I was implementing this PR I noticed that we skip some verification of the builder payload in the scenario where the builder return `Ok` but the local EL returns with `Err`. Namely, we were skipping the bid signature and other values like parent hash and prev randao. In this PR I've changed it so we *always* check these values and reject the bid if they're incorrect. With these changes, we'll sometimes choose to skip a proposal rather than propose something invalid -- that's the only side-effect to the changes that I can see.
## Metrics Changes
- Changed: `execution_layer_request_times`:
- `method = "get_blinded_payload_local"`: time taken to get a payload from a local EE.
- `method = "get_blinded_payload_builder"`: time taken to get a blinded payload from a builder.
- `method = "post_blinded_payload_builder"`: time taken to get a builder to reveal a payload they've previously supplied us.
- `execution_layer_get_payload_outcome`
- `outcome = "success"`: we successfully produced a payload from a builder or local EE.
- `outcome = "failure"`: we were unable to get a payload from a builder or local EE.
- New: `execution_layer_builder_reveal_payload_outcome`
- `outcome = "success"`: a builder revealed a payload from a signed, blinded block.
- `outcome = "failure"`: the builder did not reveal the payload.
- New: `execution_layer_get_payload_source`
- `type = "builder"`: we used a payload from a builder to produce a block.
- `type = "local"`: we used a payload from a local EE to produce a block.
- New: `execution_layer_get_payload_builder_rejections` has a `reason` field to describe why we rejected a payload from a builder.
- New: `execution_layer_payload_bids` tracks the bid (in gwei) from the builder or local EE (local EE not yet supported, waiting on EEs to expose the value). Can only record values that fit inside an i64 (roughly 9 million ETH).

## Issue Addressed
Related to #3672
## Proposed Changes
- Added a guide to run a node. Mainly, copy and paste from 'Merge Migration' and 'Checkpoint Sync'.
- Ranked it high in ToC:
- Introduction
- Installation
- Run a Node
- Become a Validator
...
- Hid 'Merge Migration' in ToC.
## Additional Info
- Should I add/rephrase/delete something?
- Now there is some redundancy:
- 'Run a node' and 'Checkpoint Sync' contain similar information.
- Same for 'Run a node' and 'Become a Validator'.

## Issue Addressed
#3723
## Proposed Changes
Adds a new CLI flag `--gui` which enables all the various flags required for the gui to function properly.
Currently enables the `--http` and `--validator-monitor-auto` flags.
## Issue Addressed
#3732
## Proposed Changes
Add a CLI flag to allow users to opt out of the restrictive permissions of the log files.
## Additional Info
This is not recommended for most users. The log files can contain sensitive information such as validator indices, public keys and API tokens (see #2438). However some users using a multi-user setup may find this helpful if they understand the risks involved.
## Issue Addressed
Partially addresses #3651
## Proposed Changes
Adds server-side support for light_client_bootstrap_v1 topic
## Additional Info
This PR, creates each time a bootstrap without using cache, I do not know how necessary a cache is in this case as this topic is not supposed to be called frequently and IMHO we can just prevent abuse by using the limiter, but let me know what you think or if there is any caveat to this, or if it is necessary only for the sake of good practice.

## Proposed Changes
- Bump versions
- Pin the `nethermind` version since our method of getting the latest tags on `master` is giving us an old version (`1.14.1`).
- Increase timeout for execution engine startup.
## Additional Info
- [x] ~Awaiting further testing~
