ceda27371d Ensure doppelganger detects attestations in blocks (#2495)
## Issue Addressed

NA

## Proposed Changes

When testing our (not-yet-released) Doppelganger implementation, I noticed that we aren't detecting attestations included in blocks (only those on the gossip network).

This is because during [block processing](e8c0d1f19b/beacon_node/beacon_chain/src/beacon_chain.rs (L2168)) we only update the `observed_attestations` cache with each attestation, but not the `observed_attesters` cache. This is the correct behaviour when we consider the [p2p spec](https://github.com/ethereum/eth2.0-specs/blob/v1.0.1/specs/phase0/p2p-interface.md):

> [IGNORE] There has been no other valid attestation seen on an attestation subnet that has an identical attestation.data.target.epoch and participating validator index.

We're doing the right thing here and still allowing attestations on gossip that we've seen in a block. However, this doesn't work so nicely for Doppelganger.

To resolve this, I've taken the following steps:

- Add a `observed_block_attesters` cache.
- Rename `observed_attesters` to `observed_gossip_attesters`.

## TODO

- [x] Add a test to ensure a validator that's been seen in a block attestation (but not a gossip attestation) returns `true` for `BeaconChain::validator_seen_at_epoch`.
- [x] Add a test to ensure `observed_block_attesters` isn't polluted via gossip attestations and vice versa.

c5786a8821 Doppelganger detection (#2230)
## Issue Addressed

Resolves #2069 

## Proposed Changes

- Adds a `--doppelganger-detection` flag
- Adds a `lighthouse/seen_validators` endpoint, which will make it so the lighthouse VC is not interopable with other client beacon nodes if the `--doppelganger-detection` flag is used, but hopefully this will become standardized. Relevant Eth2 API repo issue: https://github.com/ethereum/eth2.0-APIs/issues/64
- If the `--doppelganger-detection` flag is used, the VC will wait until the beacon node is synced, and then wait an additional 2 epochs. The reason for this is to make sure the beacon node is able to subscribe to the subnets our validators should be attesting on. I think an alternative would be to have the beacon node subscribe to all subnets for 2+ epochs on startup by default.

## Additional Info

I'd like to add tests and would appreciate feedback. 

TODO:  handle validators started via the API, potentially make this default behavior

303deb9969 Rust 1.54.0 lints (#2483)
## Issue Addressed

N/A

## Proposed Changes

- Removing a bunch of unnecessary references
- Updated `Error::VariantError` to `Error::Variant`
- There were additional enum variant lints that I ignored, because I thought our variant names were fine
- removed `MonitoredValidator`'s `pubkey` field, because I couldn't find it used anywhere. It looks like we just use the string version of the pubkey (the `id` field) if there is no index

8efd9fc324 Add AttesterCache for attestation production (#2478)
## Issue Addressed

- Resolves #2169

## Proposed Changes

Adds the `AttesterCache` to allow validators to produce attestations for older slots. Presently, some arbitrary restrictions can force validators to receive an error when attesting to a slot earlier than the present one. This can cause attestation misses when there is excessive load on the validator client or time sync issues between the VC and BN.

923486f34c Use bulk verification for sync_aggregate signature (#2415)
## Proposed Changes

Add the `sync_aggregate` from `BeaconBlock` to the bulk signature verifier for blocks. This necessitates a new signature set constructor for the sync aggregate, which is different from the others due to the use of [`eth2_fast_aggregate_verify`](https://github.com/ethereum/eth2.0-specs/blob/v1.1.0-alpha.7/specs/altair/bls.md#eth2_fast_aggregate_verify) for sync aggregates, per [`process_sync_aggregate`](https://github.com/ethereum/eth2.0-specs/blob/v1.1.0-alpha.7/specs/altair/beacon-chain.md#sync-aggregate-processing). I made the choice to return an optional signature set, with `None` representing the case where the signature is valid on account of being the point at infinity (requires no further checking).

To "dogfood" the changes and prevent duplication, the consensus logic now uses the signature set approach as well whenever it is required to verify signatures (which should only be in testing AFAIK). The EF tests pass with the code as it exists currently, but failed before I adapted the `eth2_fast_aggregate_verify` changes (which is good).

As a result of this change Altair block processing should be a little faster, and importantly, we will no longer accidentally verify signatures when replaying blocks, e.g. when replaying blocks from the database.

6e3ca48cb9 Cache participating indices for Altair epoch processing (#2416)
## Issue Addressed

NA

## Proposed Changes

This PR addresses two things:

1. Allows the `ValidatorMonitor` to work with Altair states.
1. Optimizes `altair::process_epoch` (see [code](https://github.com/paulhauner/lighthouse/blob/participation-cache/consensus/state_processing/src/per_epoch_processing/altair/participation_cache.rs) for description)

## Breaking Changes

The breaking changes in this PR revolve around one premise:

*After the Altair fork, it's not longer possible (given only a `BeaconState`) to identify if a validator had *any* attestation included during some epoch. The best we can do is see if that validator made the "timely" source/target/head flags.*

Whilst this seems annoying, it's not actually too bad. Finalization is based upon "timely target" attestations, so that's really the most important thing. Although there's *some* value in knowing if a validator had *any* attestation included, it's far more important to know about "timely target" participation, since this is what affects finality and justification.

For simplicity and consistency, I've also removed the ability to determine if *any* attestation was included from metrics and API endpoints. Now, all Altair and non-Altair states will simply report on the head/target attestations.

The following section details where we've removed fields and provides replacement values.

### Breaking Changes: Prometheus Metrics

Some participation metrics have been removed and replaced. Some were removed since they are no longer relevant to Altair (e.g., total attesting balance) and others replaced with gwei values instead of pre-computed values. This provides more flexibility at display-time (e.g., Grafana).

The following metrics were added as replacements:

- `beacon_participation_prev_epoch_head_attesting_gwei_total`
- `beacon_participation_prev_epoch_target_attesting_gwei_total`
- `beacon_participation_prev_epoch_source_attesting_gwei_total`
- `beacon_participation_prev_epoch_active_gwei_total`

The following metrics were removed:

- `beacon_participation_prev_epoch_attester`
   - instead use `beacon_participation_prev_epoch_source_attesting_gwei_total / beacon_participation_prev_epoch_active_gwei_total`.
- `beacon_participation_prev_epoch_target_attester`
   - instead use `beacon_participation_prev_epoch_target_attesting_gwei_total / beacon_participation_prev_epoch_active_gwei_total`.
- `beacon_participation_prev_epoch_head_attester`
   - instead use `beacon_participation_prev_epoch_head_attesting_gwei_total / beacon_participation_prev_epoch_active_gwei_total`.

The `beacon_participation_prev_epoch_attester` endpoint has been removed. Users should instead use the pre-existing `beacon_participation_prev_epoch_target_attester`. 

### Breaking Changes: HTTP API

The `/lighthouse/validator_inclusion/{epoch}/{validator_id}` endpoint loses the following fields:

- `current_epoch_attesting_gwei` (use `current_epoch_target_attesting_gwei` instead)
- `previous_epoch_attesting_gwei` (use `previous_epoch_target_attesting_gwei` instead)

The `/lighthouse/validator_inclusion/{epoch}/{validator_id}` endpoint lose the following fields:

- `is_current_epoch_attester` (use `is_current_epoch_target_attester` instead)
- `is_previous_epoch_attester` (use `is_previous_epoch_target_attester` instead)
- `is_active_in_current_epoch` becomes `is_active_unslashed_in_current_epoch`.
- `is_active_in_previous_epoch` becomes `is_active_unslashed_in_previous_epoch`.

## Additional Info

NA

## TODO

- [x] Deal with total balances
- [x] Update validator_inclusion API
- [ ] Ensure `beacon_participation_prev_epoch_target_attester` and `beacon_participation_prev_epoch_head_attester` work before Altair

84e6d71950 Tree hash caching and optimisations for Altair (#2459)
## Proposed Changes

Remove the remaining Altair `FIXME`s from consensus land.

1. Implement tree hash caching for the participation lists. This required some light type manipulation, including removing the `TreeHash` bound from `CachedTreeHash` which was purely descriptive.
2. Plumb the proposer index through Altair attestation processing, to avoid calculating it for _every_ attestation (potentially 128ms on large networks). This duplicates some work from #2431, but with the aim of getting it in sooner, particularly for the Altair devnets.
3. Removes two FIXMEs related to `superstruct` and cloning, which are unlikely to be particularly detrimental and will be tracked here instead: https://github.com/sigp/superstruct/issues/5

304fb05e44 Maintain attestations that reference unknown blocks (#2319)
## Issue Addressed

#635 

## Proposed Changes
- Keep attestations that reference a block we have not seen for 30secs before being re processed
- If we do import the block before that time elapses, it is reprocessed in that moment
- The first time it fails, do nothing wrt to gossipsub propagation or peer downscoring. If after being re processed it fails, downscore with a `LowToleranceError` and ignore the message.

b4689e20c6 Altair consensus changes and refactors (#2279)
## Proposed Changes

Implement the consensus changes necessary for the upcoming Altair hard fork.

## Additional Info

This is quite a heavy refactor, with pivotal types like the `BeaconState` and `BeaconBlock` changing from structs to enums. This ripples through the whole codebase with field accesses changing to methods, e.g. `state.slot` => `state.slot()`.

406e3921d9 Use forwards iterator for state root lookups (#2422)
## Issue Addressed

#2377 

## Proposed Changes

Implement the same code used for block root lookups (from #2376) to state root lookups in order to improve performance and reduce associated memory spikes (e.g. from certain HTTP API requests).

## Additional Changes

- Tests using `rev_iter_state_roots` and `rev_iter_block_roots` have been refactored to use their `forwards` versions instead.
- The `rev_iter_state_roots` and `rev_iter_block_roots` functions are now unused and have been removed.
- The `state_at_slot` function has been changed to use the `forwards` iterator.

## Additional Info

- Some tests still need to be refactored to use their `forwards_iter` versions. These tests start their iteration from a specific beacon state and thus use the `rev_iter_state_roots_from` and `rev_iter_block_roots_from` functions. If they can be refactored, those functions can also be removed.

3dc1eb5eb6 Ignore inactive validators in validator monitor (#2396)
## Proposed Changes

A user on Discord (`@ChewsMacRibs`) reported that the validator monitor was logging `WARN Attested to an incorrect head` for their validator while it was awaiting activation.

This PR modifies the monitor so that it ignores inactive validators, by the logic that they are either awaiting activation, or have already exited. Either way, there's no way for an inactive validator to have their attestations included on chain, so no need for the monitor to report on them.

## Additional Info

To reproduce the bug requires registering validator keys manually with `--validator-monitor-pubkeys`. I don't think the bug will present itself with `--validator-monitor-auto`.

d34f922c1d Add early check for RPC block relevancy (#2289)
## Issue Addressed

NA

## Proposed Changes

When observing `jemallocator` heap profiles and Grafana, it became clear that Lighthouse is spending significant RAM/CPU on processing blocks from the RPC. On investigation, it seems that we are loading the parent of the block *before* we check to see if the block is already known. This is a big waste of resources.

This PR adds an additional `check_block_relevancy` call as the first thing we do when we try to process a `SignedBeaconBlock` via the RPC (or other similar methods). Ultimately, `check_block_relevancy` will be called again later in the block processing flow. It's a very light function and I don't think trying to optimize it out is worth the risk of a bad block slipping through. 

Also adds a `New RPC block received` info log when we process a new RPC block. This seems like interesting and infrequent info.

4c7bb4984c Use the forwards iterator more often (#2376)
## Issue Addressed

NA

## Primary Change

When investigating memory usage, I noticed that retrieving a block from an early slot (e.g., slot 900) would cause a sharp increase in the memory footprint (from 400mb to 800mb+) which seemed to be ever-lasting.

After some investigation, I found that the reverse iteration from the head back to that slot was the likely culprit. To counter this, I've switched the `BeaconChain::block_root_at_slot` to use the forwards iterator, instead of the reverse one.

I also noticed that the networking stack is using `BeaconChain::root_at_slot` to check if a peer is relevant (`check_peer_relevance`). Perhaps the steep, seemingly-random-but-consistent increases in memory usage are caused by the use of this function.

Using the forwards iterator with the HTTP API alleviated the sharp increases in memory usage. It also made the response much faster (before it felt like to took 1-2s, now it feels instant).

## Additional Changes

In the process I also noticed that we have two functions for getting block roots:

- `BeaconChain::block_root_at_slot`: returns `None` for a skip slot.
- `BeaconChain::root_at_slot`: returns the previous root for a skip slot.

I unified these two functions into `block_root_at_slot` and added the `WhenSlotSkipped` enum. Now, the caller must be explicit about the skip-slot behaviour when requesting a root. 

Additionally, I replaced `vec![]` with `Vec::with_capacity` in `store::chunked_vector::range_query`. I stumbled across this whilst debugging and made this modification to see what effect it would have (not much). It seems like a decent change to keep around, but I'm not concerned either way.

Also, `BeaconChain::get_ancestor_block_root` is unused, so I got rid of it 🗑️.

## Additional Info

I haven't also done the same for state roots here. Whilst it's possible and a good idea, it's more work since the fwds iterators are presently block-roots-specific.

Whilst there's a few places a reverse iteration of state roots could be triggered (e.g., attestation production, HTTP API), they're no where near as common as the `check_peer_relevance` call. As such, I think we should get this PR merged first, then come back for the state root iters. I made an issue here https://github.com/sigp/lighthouse/issues/2377.

ba55e140ae Enable Compatibility with Windows (#2333)
## Issue Addressed

Windows incompatibility.

## Proposed Changes

On windows, lighthouse needs to default to STDIN as tty doesn't exist. Also Windows uses ACLs for file permissions. So to mirror chmod 600, we will remove every entry in a file's ACL and add only a single SID that is an alias for the file owner.

Beyond that, there were several changes made to different unit tests because windows has slightly different error messages as well as frustrating nuances around killing a process :/

## Additional Info

Tested on my Windows VM and it appears to work, also compiled & tested on Linux with these changes. Permissions look correct on both platforms now. Just waiting for my validator to activate on Prater so I can test running full validator client on windows.

## Proposed Changes

Use two instances of max cover when packing attestations into blocks: one for the previous epoch, and one for the current epoch. This reduces the amount of computation done by roughly half due to the `O(n^2)` running time of max cover (`2 * (n/2)^2 = n^2/2`). This should help alleviate some load on block proposal, particularly on Prater.

e7e5878953 Avoid BeaconState clone during metrics scrape (#2298)
## Issue Addressed

Which issue # does this PR address?

## Proposed Changes

Avoids cloning the `BeaconState` each time Prometheus scrapes our metrics (generally every 5s 😱).

I think the original motivation behind this was *"don't hold the lock on the head whilst we do computation on it"*, however I think is flawed since our computation here is so small that it'll be quicker than the clone.

The primary motivation here is to maintain a small memory footprint by holding less in memory (i.e., the cloned `BeaconState`) and to avoid the fragmentation-creep that occurs when cloning the big contiguous slabs of memory in the `BeaconState`.

I also collapsed the active/slashed/withdrawn counters into a single loop to increase efficiency.

```

The slot during this log was 766,815 (the last slot of the epoch). I believe this is due to an off-by-one error in `observed_attesters` where we were failing to provide enough capacity to store observations from the previous, current and next epochs. See code comments for further reasoning.

## Issue Addressed

Closes #2052

## Proposed Changes

- Refactor the attester/proposer duties endpoints in the BN
    - Performance improvements
    - Fixes some potential inconsistencies with the dependent root fields.
    - Removes `http_api::beacon_proposer_cache` and just uses the one on the `BeaconChain` instead.
    - Move the code for the proposer/attester duties endpoints into separate files, for readability.
- Refactor the `DutiesService` in the VC
    - Required to reduce the delay on broadcasting new blocks.
    - Gets rid of the `ValidatorDuty` shim struct that came about when we adopted the standard API.
    - Separate block/attestation duty tasks so that they don't block each other when one is slow.
- In the VC, use `PublicKeyBytes` to represent validators instead of `PublicKey`. `PublicKey` is a legit crypto object whilst `PublicKeyBytes` is just a byte-array, it's much faster to clone/hash `PublicKeyBytes` and this change has had a significant impact on runtimes.
    - Unfortunately this has created lots of dust changes.
 - In the BN, store `PublicKeyBytes` in the `beacon_proposer_cache` and allow access to them. The HTTP API always sends `PublicKeyBytes` over the wire and the conversion from `PublicKey` -> `PublickeyBytes` is non-trivial, especially when queries have 100s/1000s of validators (like Pyrmont).
 - Add the `state_processing::state_advance` mod which dedups a lot of the "apply `n` skip slots to the state" code.
    - This also fixes a bug with some functions which were failing to include a state root as per [this comment](072695284f/consensus/state_processing/src/state_advance.rs (L69-L74)). I couldn't find any instance of this bug that resulted in anything more severe than keying a shuffling cache by the wrong block root.
 - Swap the VC block service to use `mpsc` from `tokio` instead of `futures`. This is consistent with the rest of the code base.
    
~~This PR *reduces* the size of the codebase 🎉~~ It *used* to reduce the size of the code base before I added more comments. 

## Observations on Prymont

- Proposer duties times down from peaks of 450ms to consistent <1ms.
- Current epoch attester duties times down from >1s peaks to a consistent 20-30ms.
- Block production down from +600ms to 100-200ms.

## Additional Info

- ~~Blocked on #2241~~
- ~~Blocked on #2234~~

## TODO

- [x] ~~Refactor this into some smaller PRs?~~ Leaving this as-is for now.
- [x] Address `per_slot_processing` roots.
- [x] Investigate slow next epoch times. Not getting added to cache on block processing?
- [x] Consider [this](072695284f/beacon_node/store/src/hot_cold_store.rs (L811-L812)) in the scenario of replacing the state roots

770a2ca030 Fix proposer cache priming upon state advance (#2252)
## Proposed Changes

While investigating an incorrect head + target vote for the epoch boundary block 708544, I noticed that the state advance failed to prime the proposer cache, as per these logs:

```

The reason for this is that the condition was backwards, so that whole block of code was unreachable.

Looking at the attestations for the block included in the block after, we can see that lots of validators missed it. Some of them may be Lighthouse v1.1.1-v1.2.0-rc.0, but it's probable that they would have missed even with the proposer cache primed, given how late the block 708544 arrived (the cache miss occurred 3.787s after the slot start): https://beaconcha.in/block/708545#attestations

e4eb0eb168 Use advanced state for block production (#2241)
## Issue Addressed

NA

## Proposed Changes

- Use the pre-states from #2174 during block production.
    - Running this on Pyrmont shows block production times dropping from ~550ms to ~150ms.
- Create `crit` and `warn` logs when a block is published to the API later than we expect.
    - On mainnet we are issuing a warn if the block is published more than 1s later than the slot start and a crit for more than 3s.
- Rename some methods on the `SnapshotCache` for clarity.
- Add the ability to pass the state root to `BeaconChain::produce_block_on_state` to avoid computing a state root. This is a very common LH optimization.
- Add a metric that tracks how late we broadcast blocks received from the HTTP API. This is *technically* a duplicate of a `ValidatorMonitor` log, but I wanted to have it for the case where we aren't monitoring validators too.

363f15f362 Use the database to persist the pubkey cache (#2234)
## Issue Addressed

Closes #1787

## Proposed Changes

* Abstract the `ValidatorPubkeyCache` over a "backing" which is either a file (legacy), or the database.
* Implement a migration from schema v2 to schema v3, whereby the contents of the cache file are copied to the DB, and then the file is deleted. The next release to include this change must be a minor version bump, and we will need to warn users of the inability to downgrade (this is our first DB schema change since mainnet genesis).
* Move the schema migration code from the `store` crate into the `beacon_chain` crate so that it can access the datadir and the `ValidatorPubkeyCache`, etc. It gets injected back into the `store` via a closure (similar to what we do in fork choice).

a764c3b247 Handle early blocks (#2155)
## Issue Addressed

NA

## Problem this PR addresses

There's an issue where Lighthouse is banning a lot of peers due to the following sequence of events:

1. Gossip block 0xabc arrives ~200ms early
    - It is propagated across the network, with respect to [`MAXIMUM_GOSSIP_CLOCK_DISPARITY`](https://github.com/ethereum/eth2.0-specs/blob/v1.0.0/specs/phase0/p2p-interface.md#why-is-there-maximum_gossip_clock_disparity-when-validating-slot-ranges-of-messages-in-gossip-subnets).
    - However, it is not imported to our database since the block is early.
2. Attestations for 0xabc arrive, but the block was not imported.
    - The peer that sent the attestation is down-voted.
        - Each unknown-block attestation causes a score loss of 1, the peer is banned at -100.
        - When the peer is on an attestation subnet there can be hundreds of attestations, so the peer is banned quickly (before the missed block can be obtained via rpc).

## Potential solutions

I can think of three solutions to this:

1. Wait for attestation-queuing (#635) to arrive and solve this.
    - Easy
    - Not immediate fix.
    - Whilst this would work, I don't think it's a perfect solution for this particular issue, rather (3) is better.
1. Allow importing blocks with a tolerance of `MAXIMUM_GOSSIP_CLOCK_DISPARITY`.
    - Easy
    - ~~I have implemented this, for now.~~
1. If a block is verified for gossip propagation (i.e., signature verified) and it's within `MAXIMUM_GOSSIP_CLOCK_DISPARITY`, then queue it to be processed at the start of the appropriate slot.
    - More difficult
    - Feels like the best solution, I will try to implement this.
    
    
**This PR takes approach (3).**

## Changes included

- Implement the `block_delay_queue`, based upon a [`DelayQueue`](https://docs.rs/tokio-util/0.6.3/tokio_util/time/delay_queue/struct.DelayQueue.html) which can store blocks until it's time to import them.
- Add a new `DelayedImportBlock` variant to the `beacon_processor::WorkEvent` enum to handle this new event.
- In the `BeaconProcessor`, refactor a `tokio::select!` to a struct with an explicit `Stream` implementation. I experienced some issues with `tokio::select!` in the block delay queue and I also found it hard to debug. I think this explicit implementation is nicer and functionally equivalent (apart from the fact that `tokio::select!` randomly chooses futures to poll, whereas now we're deterministic).
- Add a testing framework to the `beacon_processor` module that tests this new block delay logic. I also tested a handful of other operations in the beacon processor (attns, slashings, exits) since it was super easy to copy-pasta the code from the `http_api` tester.
    - To implement these tests I added the concept of an optional `work_journal_tx` to the `BeaconProcessor` which will spit out a log of events. I used this in the tests to ensure that things were happening as I expect.
    - The tests are a little racey, but it's hard to avoid that when testing timing-based code. If we see CI failures I can revise. I haven't observed *any* failures due to races on my machine or on CI yet.
    - To assist with testing I allowed for directly setting the time on the `ManualSlotClock`.
- I gave the `beacon_processor::Worker` a `Toolbox` for two reasons; (a) it avoids changing tons of function sigs when you want to pass a new object to the worker and (b) it seemed cute.

88cc222204 Advance state to next slot after importing block (#2174)
## Issue Addressed

NA

## Proposed Changes

Add an optimization to perform `per_slot_processing` from the *leading-edge* of block processing to the *trailing-edge*. Ultimately, this allows us to import the block at slot `n` faster because we used the tail-end of slot `n - 1` to perform `per_slot_processing`.

Additionally, add a "block proposer cache" which allows us to cache the block proposer for some epoch. Since we're now doing trailing-edge `per_slot_processing`, we can prime this cache with the values for the next epoch before those blocks arrive (assuming those blocks don't have some weird forking).

There were several ancillary changes required to achieve this: 

- Remove the `state_root` field  of `BeaconSnapshot`, since there's no need to know it on a `pre_state` and in all other cases we can just read it from `block.state_root()`.
    - This caused some "dust" changes of `snapshot.beacon_state_root` to `snapshot.beacon_state_root()`, where the `BeaconSnapshot::beacon_state_root()` func just reads the state root from the block.
- Rename `types::ShuffingId` to `AttestationShufflingId`. I originally did this because I added a `ProposerShufflingId` struct which turned out to be not so useful. I thought this new name was more descriptive so I kept it.
- Address https://github.com/ethereum/eth2.0-specs/pull/2196
- Add a debug log when we get a block with an unknown parent. There was previously no logging around this case.
- Add a function to `BeaconState` to compute all proposers for an epoch without re-computing the active indices for each slot.

## Additional Info

- ~~Blocked on #2173~~
- ~~Blocked on #2179~~ That PR was wrapped into this PR.
- There's potentially some places where we could avoid computing the proposer indices in `per_block_processing` but I haven't done this here. These would be an optimization beyond the issue at hand (improving block propagation times) and I think this PR is already doing enough. We can come back for that later.

## TODO

- [x] Tidy, improve comments.
- [x] ~~Try avoid computing proposer index in `per_block_processing`?~~

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

b06559ae97 Disallow attestation production earlier than head (#2130)
## Issue Addressed

The non-finality period on Pyrmont between epochs [`9114`](https://pyrmont.beaconcha.in/epoch/9114) and [`9182`](https://pyrmont.beaconcha.in/epoch/9182) was contributed to by all the `lighthouse_team` validators going down. The nodes saw excessive CPU and RAM usage, resulting in the system to kill the `lighthouse bn` process. The `Restart=on-failure` directive for `systemd` caused the process to bounce in ~10-30m intervals.

Diagnosis with `heaptrack` showed that the `BeaconChain::produce_unaggregated_attestation` function was calling `store::beacon_state::get_full_state` and sometimes resulting in a tree hash cache allocation. These allocations were approximately the size of the hosts physical memory and still allocated when `lighthouse bn` was killed by the OS.

There was no CPU analysis (e.g., `perf`), but the `BeaconChain::produce_unaggregated_attestation` is very CPU-heavy so it is reasonable to assume it is the cause of the excessive CPU usage, too.

## Proposed Changes

`BeaconChain::produce_unaggregated_attestation` has two paths:

1. Fast path: attesting to the head slot or later.
2. Slow path: attesting to a slot earlier than the head block.

Path (2) is the only path that calls `store::beacon_state::get_full_state`, therefore it is the path causing this excessive CPU/RAM usage.

This PR removes the current functionality of path (2) and replaces it with a static error (`BeaconChainError::AttestingPriorToHead`).

This change reduces the generality of `BeaconChain::produce_unaggregated_attestation` (and therefore [`/eth/v1/validator/attestation_data`](https://ethereum.github.io/eth2.0-APIs/#/Validator/produceAttestationData)), but I argue that this functionality is an edge-case and arguably a violation of the [Honest Validator spec](https://github.com/ethereum/eth2.0-specs/blob/dev/specs/phase0/validator.md).

It's possible that a validator goes back to a prior slot to "catch up" and submit some missed attestations. This change would prevent such behaviour, returning an error. My concerns with this catch-up behaviour is that it is:

- Not specified as "honest validator" attesting behaviour.
- Is behaviour that is risky for slashing (although, all validator clients *should* have slashing protection and will eventually fail if they do not).
- It disguises clock-sync issues between a BN and VC.

## Additional Info

It's likely feasible to implement path (2) if we implement some sort of caching mechanism. This would be a multi-week task and this PR gets the issue patched in the short term. I haven't created an issue to add path (2), instead I think we should implement it if we get user-demand.
