## Issue Addressed
Resolves#1944
## Proposed Changes
Adds a "graffiti" key to the `validator_definitions.yml`. Setting the key will override anything passed through the validator `--graffiti` flag.
Returns an error if the value for the graffiti key is > 32 bytes instead of silently truncating.

## Proposed Changes
This is mostly a UX improvement.
Currently, when recursively finding keystores, we only ignore keystores with same path.This leads to potential issues while copying datadirs (e.g. copying datadir to a new ssd with more storage). After copying new datadir and starting the vc, we will discover the copied keystores as new keystores and add it to the definitions file leading to duplicate entries.
This PR avoids duplicate keystores being discovered as new keystore by checking for duplicate pubkeys as well.
## Issue Addressed
`test_dht_persistence` failing
## Proposed Changes
Bind `NetworkService::start` to an underscore prefixed variable rather than `_`. `_` was causing it to be dropped immediately
This was failing 5/100 times before this update, but I haven't been able to get it to fail after updating it

## Issue Addressed
Resolve#1652
## Proposed Changes
Adds a cli option for voluntary exits. The flow is similar to prysm's where after entering the password for the validator keystore (or load password from `secrets` if present) the user is given multiple warnings about the operation being irreversible, then redirected to the docs webpage(not added yet) which explains what a voluntary exit is and the consequences of exiting and then prompted to enter a phrase from the docs webpage as a final confirmation.
Example usage
```
$ lighthouse --testnet zinken account validator exit --validator <validator-pubkey> --beacon-node http://localhost:5052
Running account manager for zinken testnet
validator-dir path: "..."
Enter the keystore password: for validator in ...
Password is correct
Publishing a voluntary exit for validator: ...
WARNING: This is an irreversible operation
WARNING: Withdrawing staked eth will not be possible until Eth1/Eth2 merge Please visit [website] to make sure you understand the implications of a voluntary exit.
Enter the phrase from the above URL to confirm the voluntary exit:
Exit my validator
Published voluntary exit for validator ...
```
## Additional info
Not sure if we should have batch exits (`--validator all`) option for exiting all the validators in the `validators` directory. I'm slightly leaning towards having only single exits but don't have a strong preference.
## Issue Addressed
Resolves#1744
## Proposed Changes
- Add `directory::ensure_dir_exists` to the `ValidatorDefinition::open_or_create` method
- As @pawanjay176 suggested, making the `--validator-dir` non-global so users are forced to include the flag after the `validator` subcommand. Current behavior seems to be ignoring the flag if it comes after something like `validator import`

## Proposed Changes
- Implements a HTTP API for the validator client.
- Creates EIP-2335 keystores with an empty `description` field, instead of a missing `description` field. Adds option to set name.
- Be more graceful with setups without any validators (yet)
- Remove an error log when there are no validators.
- Create the `validator` dir if it doesn't exist.
- Allow building a `ValidatorDir` without a withdrawal keystore (required for the API method where we only post a voting keystore).
- Add optional `description` field to `validator_definitions.yml`
