## Proposed Changes
Adds support for using the [`cross`](https://github.com/rust-embedded/cross) project to produce cross-compiled binaries using Docker images.
Provides quite clean and simple cross-compiles cause all the complexity is hidden in Dockerfiles. It does require you to be in the `docker` group though.
## Details
- Adds shortcut commands to `Makefile`
- Ensures `reqwest` and `discv5` use vendored openssl libs (i.e., static not shared).
- Switches to a [commit](284f705964) of blst that has a renamed C function to avoid a collision with openssl (upstream issue: https://github.com/supranational/blst/issues/21).
- Updates `ring` to the latest satisfiable version, since an earlier version was causing issues with `cross`.
- Off-topic, but adds extra message about Windows support as suggested by Discord user.
## Additional Info
- ~~Blocked on #1495~~
- There are no tests in CI for this yet for a few reasons:
- I'm hesitant to add more long-running tasks.
- Short-term bitrot should be avoided since we'll use it each release.
- In the long term I think it would be good to automate binary creation on a release.
- I observed the binaries increase in size from 50mb to 52mb after these changes.
Update the EF test vectors to v0.12.2 so that they include the new finality tests. Also, correct a typo that caused the epoch processing final update tests not to run on the minimal spec.

NA
## Proposed Changes
- Refactor the `bls` crate to support multiple BLS "backends" (e.g., milagro, blst, etc).
- Removes some duplicate, unused code in `common/rest_types/src/validator.rs`.
- Removes the old "upgrade legacy keypairs" functionality (these were unencrypted keys that haven't been supported for a few testnets, no one should be using them anymore).
## Additional Info
Most of the files changed are just inconsequential changes to function names.
## TODO
- [x] Optimization levels
- [x] Infinity point: https://github.com/supranational/blst/issues/11
- [x] Ensure milagro *and* blst are tested via CI
- [x] What to do with unsafe code?
- [x] Test infinity point in signature sets

## 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).*
## Issue Addressed
NA
## Proposed Changes
- Introduces the `valdiator_definitions.yml` file which serves as an explicit list of validators that should be run by the validator client.
- Removes `--strict` flag, split into `--strict-lockfiles` and `--disable-auto-discover`
- Adds a "Validator Management" page to the book.
- Adds the `common/account_utils` crate which contains some logic that was starting to duplicate across the codebase.
The new docs for this feature are the best description of it (apart from the code, I guess): 9cb87e93ce/book/src/validator-management.md
## API Changes
This change should be transparent for *most* existing users. If the `valdiator_definitions.yml` doesn't exist then it will be automatically generated using a method that will detect all the validators in their `validators_dir`.
Users will have issues if they are:
1. Using `--strict`.
1. Have keystores in their `~/.lighthouse/validators` directory that weren't being detected by the current keystore discovery method.
For users with (1), the VC will refuse to start because the `--strict` flag has been removed. They will be forced to review `--help` and choose an equivalent flag.
For users with (2), this seems fairly unlikely and since we're only in testnets there's no *real* value on the line here. I'm happy to take the risk, it would be a different case for mainnet.
## Additional Info
This PR adds functionality we will need for #1347.

- [x] Reconsider flags
- [x] Move doc into a more reasonable chapter.
- [x] Check for compile warnings.
