2c691af95b Use hardware acceleration for SHA256 (#2426)
## Proposed Changes

Modify the SHA256 implementation in `eth2_hashing` so that it switches between `ring` and `sha2` to take advantage of [x86_64 SHA extensions](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_SHA_extensions). The extensions are available on modern Intel and AMD CPUs, and seem to provide a considerable speed-up: on my Ryzen 5950X it dropped state tree hashing times by about 30% from 35ms to 25ms (on Prater).

## Additional Info

The extensions became available in the `sha2` crate [last year](https://www.reddit.com/r/rust/comments/hf2vcx/ann_rustcryptos_sha1_and_sha2_now_support/), and are not available in Ring, which uses a [pure Rust implementation of sha2](https://github.com/briansmith/ring/blob/main/src/digest/sha2.rs). Ring is faster on CPUs that lack the extensions so I've implemented a runtime switch to use `sha2` only when the extensions are available. The runtime switching seems to impose a miniscule penalty (see the benchmarks linked below).

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()`.

f157d61cc7 Address clippy lints, panic in ssz_derive on overflow (#1714)
## Issue Addressed

NA

## Proposed Changes

- Panic or return error if we overflow `usize` in SSZ decoding/encoding derive macros.
  - I claim that the panics can only be triggered by a faulty type definition in lighthouse, they cannot be triggered externally on a validly defined struct.
- Use `Ordering` instead of some `if` statements, as demanded by clippy.
- Remove some old clippy `allow` that seem to no longer be required.
- Add comments to interesting clippy statements that we're going to continue to ignore.
- Create #1713

## Additional Info

21bcc8848d Add caching for state.eth1_data_votes (#919)
## Issue Addressed

NA

## Proposed Changes

Adds additional tree hash caching for `state.eth1_data_votes`.

Presently, each time we tree hash the `BeaconState`, we recompute the `state.eth1_data_votes` tree in it's entirety. This is because we only previous had support for caching fixed-length lists.

This PR adds the `Eth1DataVotesTreeHashCache` which provides caching for the `state.eth1_data_votes` list. The cache is aware of `SLOTS_PER_ETH1_VOTING_PERIOD` and will reset itself whenever that boundary is crossed.

This cache adds a new (but somewhat fundamental) restriction to tree hash caching:

*For some state `s`, `s.tree_hash_cache` is only valid for `s` or descendants of `s` that have been reached via state transitions that are faithful to the specification (invalid blocks are permitted, as long as they are faithfully processed).*

2870172e0d Deny warnings on CI (#1372)
## Issue Addressed

Prevent CI from succeeding when there are warnings. Code can still be built and tested with warnings locally, but CI may fail during a Rust update (which is fine IMO).

## Proposed Changes

* Deny warnings for all stable compiler jobs on CI (excludes `cargo udeps`, which runs under nightly)
* Fix the warnings currently on `master` related to unnecessary `mem::replace`
