38050fa460 Allow TaskExecutor to be used in async tests (#3178)
# Description

Since the `TaskExecutor` currently requires a `Weak<Runtime>`, it's impossible to use it in an async test where the `Runtime` is created outside our scope. Whilst we *could* create a new `Runtime` instance inside the async test, dropping that `Runtime` would cause a panic (you can't drop a `Runtime` in an async context).

To address this issue, this PR creates the `enum Handle`, which supports either:

- A `Weak<Runtime>` (for use in our production code)
- A `Handle` to a runtime (for use in testing)

In theory, there should be no change to the behaviour of our production code (beyond some slightly different descriptions in HTTP 500 errors), or even our tests. If there is no change, you might ask *"why bother?"*. There are two PRs (#3070 and #3175) that are waiting on these fixes to introduce some new tests. Since we've added the EL to the `BeaconChain` (for the merge), we are now doing more async stuff in tests.

I've also added a `RuntimeExecutor` to the `BeaconChainTestHarness`. Whilst that's not immediately useful, it will become useful in the near future with all the new async testing.

2877c29ca3 Add remotekey API support (#3162)
## Issue Addressed

#3068

## Proposed Changes

Adds support for remote key API.

## Additional Info

Needed to add `is_local_keystore`  argument to `delete_definition_and_keystore` to know if we want to delete local or remote key. Previously this wasn't necessary because remotekeys(web3signers) could be deleted.

bb7e7d72e8 Fix: no version info in homebrew package (#3167)
## Issue Addressed

Resolves #3102 

## Proposed Changes

- https://github.com/sigp/lighthouse/issues/3102#issuecomment-1114835063
- This is not an ideal solution, since the commit hash is missing from version number, but I think it is sufficient.

## Additional Info

I've tested ... :

- `fallback` is updated via `change_version.sh`.

```shell
$ cd scripts/
$ ./change_version.sh 2.2.1 2.2.2
$ git diff ../common/lighthouse_version/src/lib.rs
```
```diff
@ common/lighthouse_version/src/lib.rs:20 @ pub const VERSION: &str = git_version!(
        // NOTE: using --match instead of --exclude for compatibility with old Git
        "--match=thiswillnevermatchlol"
    ],
-   prefix = "Lighthouse/v2.2.1-",
-   fallback = "Lighthouse/v2.2.1"
+   prefix = "Lighthouse/v2.2.2-",
+   fallback = "Lighthouse/v2.2.2"
);
```

- a package built without git info prints expected version number (v2.2.1).

```shell
$ git archive HEAD --output=/tmp/lighthouse.zip
$ cd /tmp
$ unzip lighthouse.zip
$ cd lighthouse
$ cargo build --release
$ target/release/lighthouse --version
Lighthouse v2.2.1
BLS library: blst
SHA256 hardware acceleration: false
Specs: mainnet (true), minimal (false), gnosis (false)

7366266bd1 keep failed finalized chains to avoid retries (#3142)
## Issue Addressed

In very rare occasions we've seen most if not all our peers in a chain with which we don't agree. Purging these peers can take a very long time: number of retries of the chain. Meanwhile sync is caught in a loop trying the chain again and again. This makes it so that we fast track purging peers via registering the failed chain to prevent retrying for some time (30 seconds). Longer times could be dangerous since a chain can fail if a batch fails to download for example. In this case, I think it's still acceptable to fast track purging peers since they are nor providing the required info anyway

aa72088f8f v2.2.1 (#3149)
## Issue Addressed

Addresses sync stalls on v2.2.0 (i.e. https://github.com/sigp/lighthouse/issues/3147).

## Additional Info

I've avoided doing a full `cargo update` because I noticed there's a new patch version of libp2p and thought it could do with some more testing.

4d0122444b Update and consolidate dependencies (#3136)
## Proposed Changes

I did some gardening 🌳 in our dependency tree:

- Remove duplicate versions of `warp` (git vs patch)
- Remove duplicate versions of lots of small deps: `cpufeatures`, `ethabi`, `ethereum-types`, `bitvec`, `nix`, `libsecp256k1`.
- Update MDBX (should resolve #3028). I tested and Lighthouse compiles on Windows 11 now.
- Restore `psutil` back to upstream
- Make some progress updating everything to rand 0.8. There are a few crates stuck on 0.7.

Hopefully this puts us on a better footing for future `cargo audit` issues, and improves compile times slightly.

## Additional Info

Some crates are held back by issues with `zeroize`. libp2p-noise depends on [`chacha20poly1305`](https://crates.io/crates/chacha20poly1305) which depends on zeroize < v1.5, and we can only have one version of zeroize because it's post 1.0 (see https://github.com/rust-lang/cargo/issues/6584). The latest version of `zeroize` is v1.5.4, which is used by the new versions of many other crates (e.g. `num-bigint-dig`). Once a new version of chacha20poly1305 is released we can update libp2p-noise and upgrade everything to the latest `zeroize` version.

I've also opened a PR to `blst` related to zeroize: https://github.com/supranational/blst/pull/111

375e2b49b3 Conserve disk space by raising default SPRP (#3137)
## Proposed Changes

Increase the default `--slots-per-restore-point` to 8192 for a 4x reduction in freezer DB disk usage.

Existing nodes that use the previous default of 2048 will be left unchanged. Newly synced nodes (with or without checkpoint sync) will use the new 8192 default. 

Long-term we could do away with the freezer DB entirely for validator-only nodes, but this change is much simpler and grants us some extra space in the short term. We can also roll it out gradually across our nodes by purging databases one by one, while keeping the Ansible config the same.

## Additional Info

We ignore a change from 2048 to 8192 if the user hasn't set the 8192 explicitly. We fire a debug log in the case where we do ignore:

```
DEBG Ignoring slots-per-restore-point config in favour of on-disk value, on_disk: 2048, config: 8192

414197b06d Enable proposer boost on mainnet and GBC (#3131)
## Proposed Changes

Mitigate the fork choice attacks described in [_Three Attacks on Proof-of-Stake Ethereum_](https://arxiv.org/abs/2110.10086) by enabling proposer boost @ 70% on mainnet.

Proposer boost has been running with stability on Prater for a few months now, and is safe to roll out gradually on mainnet. I'll argue that the financial impact of rolling out gradually is also minimal.

Consider how a proposer-boosted validator handles two types of re-orgs:

## Ex ante re-org (from the paper)

In the mitigated attack, a malicious proposer releases their block at slot `n + 1` late so that it re-orgs the block at the slot _after_  them (at slot `n + 2`). Non-boosting validators will follow this re-org and vote for block `n + 1` in slot `n + 2`. Boosted validators will vote for `n + 2`. If the boosting validators are outnumbered, there'll be a re-org to the malicious block from `n + 1` and validators applying the boost will have their slot `n + 2` attestations miss head (and target on an epoch boundary). Note that all the attesters from slot `n + 1` are doomed to lose their head vote rewards, but this is the same regardless of boosting.

Therefore, Lighthouse nodes stand to miss slightly more head votes than other nodes if they are in the minority while applying the proposer boost. Once the proposer boost nodes gain a majority, this trend reverses.

## Ex post re-org (using the boost)

The other type of re-org is an ex post re-org using the strategy described here: https://github.com/sigp/lighthouse/pull/2860. With this strategy, boosted nodes will follow the attempted re-org and again lose a head vote if the re-org is unsuccessful. Once boosting is widely adopted, the re-orgs will succeed and the non-boosting validators will lose out.

I don't think there are (m)any validators applying this strategy, because it is irrational to attempt it before boosting is widely adopted. Therefore I think we can safely ignore this possibility.

## Risk Assessment

From observing re-orgs on mainnet I don't think ex ante re-orgs are very common. I've observed around 1 per day for the last month on my node (see: https://gist.github.com/michaelsproul/3b2142fa8fe0ff767c16553f96959e8c), compared to 2.5 ex post re-orgs per day.

Given one extra slot per day where attesting will cause a missed head vote, each individual validator has a 1/32 chance of being assigned to that slot. So we have an increase of 1/32 missed head votes per validator per day in expectation. Given that we currently see ~7 head vote misses per validator per day due to late/missing blocks (and re-orgs), this represents only a (1/32)/7 = 0.45% increase in missed head votes in expectation. I believe this is so small that we shouldn't worry about it. Particularly as getting proposer boost deployed is good for network health and may enable us to drive down the number of late blocks over time (which will decrease head vote misses).

## TL;DR

Enable proposer boost now and release ASAP, as financial downside is a 0.45% increase in missed head votes until widespread adoption.

ea783360d3 Kiln mev boost (#3062)
## Issue Addressed

MEV boost compatibility

## Proposed Changes

See #2987

## Additional Info

This is blocked on the stabilization of a couple specs, [here](https://github.com/ethereum/beacon-APIs/pull/194) and [here](https://github.com/flashbots/mev-boost/pull/20).

Additional TODO's and outstanding questions

- [ ] MEV boost JWT Auth
- [ ] Will `builder_proposeBlindedBlock` return the revealed payload for the BN to propogate
- [ ] Should we remove `private-tx-proposals` flag and communicate BN <> VC with blinded blocks by default once these endpoints enter the beacon-API's repo? This simplifies merge transition logic.

6efd95496b Optionally skip RANDAO verification during block production (#3116)
## Proposed Changes

Allow Lighthouse to speculatively create blocks via the `/eth/v1/validators/blocks` endpoint by optionally skipping the RANDAO verification that we introduced in #2740. When `verify_randao=false` is passed as a query parameter the `randao_reveal` is not required to be present, and if present will only be lightly checked (must be a valid BLS sig). If `verify_randao` is omitted it defaults to true and Lighthouse behaves exactly as it did previously, hence this PR is backwards-compatible.

I'd like to get this change into `unstable` pretty soon as I've got 3 projects building on top of it:

- [`blockdreamer`](https://github.com/michaelsproul/blockdreamer), which mocks block production every slot in order to fingerprint clients
- analysis of Lighthouse's block packing _optimality_, which uses `blockdreamer` to extract interesting instances of the attestation packing problem
- analysis of Lighthouse's block packing _performance_ (as in speed) on the `tree-states` branch

## Additional Info

Having tested `blockdreamer` with Prysm, Nimbus and Teku I noticed that none of them verify the randao signature on `/eth/v1/validator/blocks`. I plan to open a PR to the `beacon-APIs` repo anyway so that this parameter can be standardised in case the other clients add RANDAO verification by default in future.

41b5af9b16 Support IPv6 in BN and VC HTTP APIs (#3104)
## Issue Addressed

#3103

## Proposed Changes

Parse `http-address` and `metrics-address` as `IpAddr` for both the beacon node and validator client to support IPv6 addresses.
Also adjusts parsing of CORS origins to allow for IPv6 addresses.

## Usage
You can now set  `http-address` and/or `metrics-address`  flags to IPv6 addresses.
For example, the following:
`lighthouse bn --http --http-address :: --metrics --metrics-address ::1`
will expose the beacon node HTTP server on `[::]` (equivalent of `0.0.0.0` in IPv4) and the metrics HTTP server on `localhost` (the equivalent of `127.0.0.1` in IPv4) 

The beacon node API can then be accessed by:
`curl "http://[server-ipv6-address]:5052/eth/v1/some_endpoint"`

And the metrics server api can be accessed by:
`curl "http://localhost:5054/metrics"` or by `curl "http://[::1]:5054/metrics"`

## Additional Info
On most Linux distributions the `v6only` flag is set to `false` by default (see the section for the `IPV6_V6ONLY` flag in https://www.man7.org/linux/man-pages/man7/ipv6.7.html) which means IPv4 connections will continue to function on a IPv6 address (providing it is appropriately mapped). This means that even if the Lighthouse API is running on `::` it is also possible to accept IPv4 connections.

However on Windows, this is not the case. The `v6only` flag is set to `true` so binding to `::` will only allow IPv6 connections.

27e83b888c Retrospective invalidation of exec. payloads for opt. sync (#2837)
## Issue Addressed

NA

## Proposed Changes

Adds the functionality to allow blocks to be validated/invalidated after their import as per the [optimistic sync spec](https://github.com/ethereum/consensus-specs/blob/dev/sync/optimistic.md#how-to-optimistically-import-blocks). This means:

- Updating `ProtoArray` to allow flipping the `execution_status` of ancestors/descendants based on payload validity updates.
- Creating separation between `execution_layer` and the `beacon_chain` by creating a `PayloadStatus` struct.
- Refactoring how the `execution_layer` selects a `PayloadStatus` from the multiple statuses returned from multiple EEs.
- Adding testing framework for optimistic imports.
- Add `ExecutionBlockHash(Hash256)` new-type struct to avoid confusion between *beacon block roots* and *execution payload hashes*.
- Add `merge` to [`FORKS`](c3a793fd73/Makefile (L17)) in the `Makefile` to ensure we test the beacon chain with merge settings.
    - Fix some tests here that were failing due to a missing execution layer.

104e3104f9 Add API to compute block packing efficiency data (#2879)
## Issue Addressed

## Proposed Changes
Add a HTTP API which can be used to compute the block packing data for all blocks over a discrete range of epochs.

## Usage
### Request
```
curl "http:localhost:5052/lighthouse/analysis/block_packing_efficiency?start_epoch=57730&end_epoch=57732"
```
### Response
```

    "slot": "1847360",
    "block_hash": "0xa7dc230659802df2f99ea3798faede2e75942bb5735d56e6bfdc2df335dcd61f",

    "included_attestations": 6459,
    "prior_skip_slots": 0
  },
  ...
]
```
## Additional Info

This is notably different to the existing lcli code:
- Uses `BlockReplayer` #2863 and as such runs significantly faster than the previous method.
- Corrects the off-by-one #2878
- Removes the `offline` validators component. This was only a "best guess" and simply was used as a way to determine an estimate of the "true" packing efficiency and was generally not helpful in terms of direct comparisons between different packing methods. As such it has been removed from the API and any future estimates of "offline" validators would be better suited in a separate/more targeted API or as part of 'beacon watch': #2873 
- Includes `prior_skip_slots`.

2f8531dc60 Update to consensus-specs v1.1.9 (#3016)
## Issue Addressed

Closes #3014

## Proposed Changes

- Rename `receipt_root` to `receipts_root`
- Rename `execute_payload` to `notify_new_payload`
   - This is slightly weird since we modify everything except the actual HTTP call to the engine API. That change is expected to be implemented in #2985 (cc @ethDreamer)
- Enable "random" tests for Bellatrix.

## Notes

This will break *partially* compatibility with Kintusgi testnets in order to gain compatibility with [Kiln](https://hackmd.io/@n0ble/kiln-spec) testnets. I think it will only break the BN APIs due to the `receipts_root` change, however it might have some other effects too.

e961ff60b4 Implement standard keystore API (#2736)
## Issue Addressed

Implements the standard key manager API from https://ethereum.github.io/keymanager-APIs/, formerly https://github.com/ethereum/beacon-APIs/pull/151
Related to https://github.com/sigp/lighthouse/issues/2557

## Proposed Changes

- [x] Add all of the new endpoints from the standard API: GET, POST and DELETE.
- [x] Add a `validators.enabled` column to the slashing protection database to support atomic disable + export.
- [x] Add tests for all the common sequential accesses of the API
- [x] Add tests for interactions with remote signer validators
- [x] Add end-to-end tests for migration of validators from one VC to another
- [x] Implement the authentication scheme from the standard (token bearer auth)

## Additional Info

The `enabled` column in the validators SQL database is necessary to prevent a race condition when exporting slashing protection data. Without the slashing protection database having a way of knowing that a key has been disabled, a concurrent request to sign a message could insert a new record into the database. The `delete_concurrent_with_signing` test exercises this code path, and was indeed failing before the `enabled` column was added.

The validator client authentication has been modified from basic auth to bearer auth, with basic auth preserved for backwards compatibility.

### Request
The API can be used as follows:
```
curl "http://localhost:5052/lighthouse/analysis/attestation_performance/{validator_index}?start_epoch=57730&end_epoch=57732"
```
Alternatively, to compute performances for the global validator set:
```
curl "http://localhost:5052/lighthouse/analysis/attestation_performance/global?start_epoch=57730&end_epoch=57732"
```

### Response
The response is JSON formatted as follows:
```
[
  {
    "index": 72,
    "epochs": {
      "57730": {
        "active": true,
        "head": false,
        "target": false,
        "source": false
      },
      "57731": {
        "active": true,
        "head": true,
        "target": true,
        "source": true,
        "delay": 1
      },
      "57732": {
        "active": true,
        "head": true,
        "target": true,
        "source": true,
        "delay": 1
      },
    }
  }
]
```
> Note that the `"epochs"` are not guaranteed to be in ascending order. 

## Additional Info

- This API is intended to be used in our upcoming validator analysis tooling (#2873) and will likely not be very useful for regular users. Some advanced users or block explorers may find this API useful however.
- The request range is limited to 100 epochs (since the range is inclusive and it also computes the `end_epoch` it's actually 101 epochs) to prevent Lighthouse using exceptionally large amounts of memory.

f35a33716b Quote validator indices when posting duties (#2943)
## Proposed Changes

This PR establishes compatibility between Lighthouse's VC and Nimbus's BN.

Lighthouse was previously `POST`ing unquoted lists of validator indices to the attester and sync duties endpoints which were (correctly) not accepted by Nimbus. These lists had slipped through the cracks because they didn't have an explicit wrapper type to add `serde` annotations to. I've added the `ValidatorIndexDataRef` newtype in order to implement the modified serialisation behaviour.

## Testing

Combined with https://github.com/sigp/lighthouse/pull/2940, I've confirmed that this PR allows my Lighthouse VC on Prater to validate with the public Nimbus BN listed here: https://github.com/status-im/nimbus-eth2#quickly-test-your-tooling-against-nimbus. I haven't had a block proposal yet, but attestations and sync committee messages are working.

## Additional Info

This may also provide compatibility with Prysm BNs but I haven't had a chance to test that yet.

d06f87486a Support duplicate keys in HTTP API query strings (#2908)
## Issues Addressed

Closes #2739
Closes #2812

## Proposed Changes

Support the deserialization of query strings containing duplicate keys into their corresponding types.
As `warp` does not support this feature natively (as discussed in #2739), it relies on the external library [`serde_array_query`](https://github.com/sigp/serde_array_query) (written by @michaelsproul)

This is backwards compatible meaning that both of the following requests will produce the same output:
```
curl "http://localhost:5052/eth/v1/events?topics=head,block"
```
```
curl "http://localhost:5052/eth/v1/events?topics=head&topics=block"
```

## Additional Info

Certain error messages have changed slightly.  This only affects endpoints which accept multiple values.
For example:
```
{"code":400,"message":"BAD_REQUEST: invalid query: Invalid query string","stacktraces":[]}
```
is now
```
{"code":400,"message":"BAD_REQUEST: unable to parse query","stacktraces":[]}
```


The serve order of the endpoints `get_beacon_state_validators` and `get_beacon_state_validators_id` have flipped:
```rust
.or(get_beacon_state_validators_id.boxed())
.or(get_beacon_state_validators.boxed())
``` 
This is to ensure proper error messages when filter fallback occurs due to the use of the `and_then` filter.

## Future Work
- Cleanup / remove filter fallback behaviour by substituting `and_then` with `then` where appropriate.
- Add regression tests for HTTP API error messages.

## Credits
- @mooori for doing the ground work of investigating possible solutions within the existing Rust ecosystem.
- @michaelsproul for writing [`serde_array_query`](https://github.com/sigp/serde_array_query) and for helping debug the behaviour of the `warp` filter fallback leading to incorrect error messages.

61f60bdf03 Avoid penalizing peers for delays during processing (#2894)
## Issue Addressed

NA

## Proposed Changes

We have observed occasions were under-resourced nodes will receive messages that were valid *at the time*, but later become invalidated due to long waits for a `BeaconProcessor` worker.

In this PR, we will check to see if the message was valid *at the time of receipt*. If it was initially valid but invalid now, we just ignore the message without penalizing the peer.

b22ac95d7f v1.1.6 Fork Choice changes (#2822)
## Issue Addressed

Resolves: https://github.com/sigp/lighthouse/issues/2741
Includes: https://github.com/sigp/lighthouse/pull/2853 so that we can get ssz static tests passing here on v1.1.6. If we want to merge that first, we can make this diff slightly smaller

## Proposed Changes

- Changes the `justified_epoch` and `finalized_epoch` in the `ProtoArrayNode` each to an `Option<Checkpoint>`. The `Option` is necessary only for the migration, so not ideal. But does allow us to add a default logic to `None` on these fields during the database migration.
- Adds a database migration from a legacy fork choice struct to the new one, search for all necessary block roots in fork choice by iterating through blocks in the db.
- updates related to https://github.com/ethereum/consensus-specs/pull/2727
  -  We will have to update the persisted forkchoice to make sure the justified checkpoint stored is correct according to the updated fork choice logic. This boils down to setting the forkchoice store's justified checkpoint to the justified checkpoint of the block that advanced the finalized checkpoint to the current one. 
  - AFAICT there's no migration steps necessary for the update to allow applying attestations from prior blocks, but would appreciate confirmation on that
- I updated the consensus spec tests to v1.1.6 here, but they will fail until we also implement the proposer score boost updates. I confirmed that the previously failing scenario `new_finalized_slot_is_justified_checkpoint_ancestor` will now pass after the boost updates, but haven't confirmed _all_ tests will pass because I just quickly stubbed out the proposer boost test scenario formatting.
- This PR now also includes proposer boosting https://github.com/ethereum/consensus-specs/pull/2730

## Additional Info
I realized checking justified and finalized roots in fork choice makes it more likely that we trigger this bug: https://github.com/ethereum/consensus-specs/pull/2727

It's possible the combination of justified checkpoint and finalized checkpoint in the forkchoice store is different from in any block in fork choice. So when trying to startup our store's justified checkpoint seems invalid to the rest of fork choice (but it should be valid). When this happens we get an `InvalidBestNode` error and fail to start up. So I'm including that bugfix in this branch.

Todo:

- [x] Fix fork choice tests
- [x] Self review
- [x] Add fix for https://github.com/ethereum/consensus-specs/pull/2727
- [x] Rebase onto Kintusgi 
- [x] Fix `num_active_validators` calculation as @michaelsproul pointed out
- [x] Clean up db migrations

fe75a0a9a1 Add background file logging (#2762)
## Issue Addressed

Closes #1996 

## Proposed Changes

Run a second `Logger` via `sloggers` which logs to a file in the background with:
- separate `debug-level` for background and terminal logging
- the ability to limit log size
- rotation through a customizable number of log files
- an option to compress old log files (`.gz` format)

Add the following new CLI flags:
- `--logfile-debug-level`: The debug level of the log files
- `--logfile-max-size`: The maximum size of each log file
- `--logfile-max-number`: The number of old log files to store
- `--logfile-compress`: Whether to compress old log files

By default background logging uses the `debug` log level and saves logfiles to:
- Beacon Node:  `$HOME/.lighthouse/$network/beacon/logs/beacon.log`
- Validator Client:  `$HOME/.lighthouse/$network/validators/logs/validator.log`

Or, when using the `--datadir` flag:
`$datadir/beacon/logs/beacon.log` and `$datadir/validators/logs/validator.log`

Once rotated, old logs are stored like so: `beacon.log.1`, `beacon.log.2` etc. 
> Note: `beacon.log.1` is always newer than `beacon.log.2`.

## Additional Info

Currently the default value of `--logfile-max-size` is 200 (MB) and `--logfile-max-number` is 5.
This means that the maximum storage space that the logs will take up by default is 1.2GB. 
(200MB x 5 from old log files + <200MB the current logfile being written to)
Happy to adjust these default values to whatever people think is appropriate. 

It's also worth noting that when logging to a file, we lose our custom `slog` formatting. This means the logfile logs look like this:
```

    = help: for further information visit https://rust-lang.github.io/rust-clippy/master/index.html#needless_borrow
    
error: could not compile `filesystem` due to previous error
```

## Proposed Changes

Remove the unnecessary borrow as suggested.

## Additional Info

Since we are only running `clippy` in CI on Ubuntu, I believe we don't have any way (in CI) to detect these Windows specific lint errors (either from new code, or from linting changes from new Rust versions. 
This is because code marked as `#[cfg(windows)]` is not checked on `unix` systems and vice versa.

I'm conscious that our CI runs are already taking a long time, and that adding a new Windows `clippy` run would add a non-negligible amount of time to the runs (not sure if this topic has already been discussed), but it something to be aware of.

## Extra Note
I don't think this is the case, but it might be worth someone else running `make lint` on their Windows machines to eliminate the possibility that this is an error specific to my setup.

2dc6163043 Add API version headers and map_fork_name! (#2745)
## Proposed Changes

* Add the `Eth-Consensus-Version` header to the HTTP API for the block and state endpoints. This is part of the v2.1.0 API that was recently released: https://github.com/ethereum/beacon-APIs/pull/170
* Add tests for the above. I refactored the `eth2` crate's helper functions to make this more straight-forward, and introduced some new mixin traits that I think greatly improve readability and flexibility.
* Add a new `map_with_fork!` macro which is useful for decoding a superstruct type without naming all its variants. It is now used for SSZ-decoding `BeaconBlock` and `BeaconState`, and for JSON-decoding `SignedBeaconBlock` in the API.

## Additional Info

The `map_with_fork!` changes will conflict with the Merge changes, but when resolving the conflict the changes from this branch should be preferred (it is no longer necessary to enumerate every fork). The merge fork _will_  need to be added to `map_fork_name_with`.

This warning is completely harmless, but will be visible to users compiling Lighthouse v2.0.1 (or earlier) with Rust 1.56.0 (to be released October 21st). It is **completely safe** to ignore this warning, it's just a superficial change to Rust's syntax.

df40700ddd Rename eth2_libp2p to lighthouse_network (#2702)
## Description

The `eth2_libp2p` crate was originally named and designed to incorporate a simple libp2p integration into lighthouse. Since its origins the crates purpose has expanded dramatically. It now houses a lot more sophistication that is specific to lighthouse and no longer just a libp2p integration. 

As of this writing it currently houses the following high-level lighthouse-specific logic:
- Lighthouse's implementation of the eth2 RPC protocol and specific encodings/decodings
- Integration and handling of ENRs with respect to libp2p and eth2
- Lighthouse's discovery logic, its integration with discv5 and logic about searching and handling peers. 
- Lighthouse's peer manager - This is a large module handling various aspects of Lighthouse's network, such as peer scoring, handling pings and metadata, connection maintenance and recording, etc.
- Lighthouse's peer database - This is a collection of information stored for each individual peer which is specific to lighthouse. We store connection state, sync state, last seen ips and scores etc. The data stored for each peer is designed for various elements of the lighthouse code base such as syncing and the http api.
- Gossipsub scoring - This stores a collection of gossipsub 1.1 scoring mechanisms that are continuously analyssed and updated based on the ethereum 2 networks and how Lighthouse performs on these networks.
- Lighthouse specific types for managing gossipsub topics, sync status and ENR fields
- Lighthouse's network HTTP API metrics - A collection of metrics for lighthouse network monitoring
- Lighthouse's custom configuration of all networking protocols, RPC, gossipsub, discovery, identify and libp2p. 

Therefore it makes sense to rename the crate to be more akin to its current purposes, simply that it manages the majority of Lighthouse's network stack. This PR renames this crate to `lighthouse_network`

a73d698e30 Add TLS capability to the beacon node HTTP API (#2668)
Currently, the beacon node has no ability to serve the HTTP API over TLS.
Adding this functionality would be helpful for certain use cases, such as when you need a validator client to connect to a backup beacon node which is outside your local network, and the use of an SSH tunnel or reverse proxy would be inappropriate.

## Proposed Changes

- Add three new CLI flags to the beacon node
  - `--http-enable-tls`: enables TLS
  - `--http-tls-cert`: to specify the path to the certificate file
  - `--http-tls-key`: to specify the path to the key file
- Update the HTTP API to optionally use `warp`'s [`TlsServer`](https://docs.rs/warp/0.3.1/warp/struct.TlsServer.html) depending on the presence of the `--http-enable-tls` flag
- Update tests and docs
- Use a custom branch for `warp` to ensure proper error handling

## Additional Info

Serving the API over TLS should currently be considered experimental. The reason for this is that it uses code from an [unmerged PR](https://github.com/seanmonstar/warp/pull/717). This commit provides the `try_bind_with_graceful_shutdown` method to `warp`, which is helpful for controlling error flow when the TLS configuration is invalid (cert/key files don't exist, incorrect permissions, etc). 
I've implemented the same code in my [branch here](https://github.com/macladson/warp/tree/tls).

Once the code has been reviewed and merged upstream into `warp`, we can remove the dependency on my branch and the feature can be considered more stable.

Currently, the private key file must not be password-protected in order to be read into Lighthouse.

708557a473 Fix cargo audit warns for nix, psutil, time (#2699)
## Issue Addressed

Fix `cargo audit` failures on `unstable`

Closes #2698

## Proposed Changes

The main culprit is `nix`, which is vulnerable for versions below v0.23.0. We can't get by with a straight-forward `cargo update` because `psutil` depends on an old version of `nix` (cf. https://github.com/rust-psutil/rust-psutil/pull/93). Hence I've temporarily forked `psutil` under the `sigp` org, where I've included the update to `nix` v0.23.0.

Additionally, I took the chance to update the `time` dependency to v0.3, which removed a bunch of stale deps including `stdweb` which is no longer maintained. Lighthouse only uses the `time` crate in the notifier to do some pretty printing, and so wasn't affected by any of the breaking changes in v0.3 ([changelog here](https://github.com/time-rs/time/blob/main/CHANGELOG.md#030-2021-07-30)).

229542cd6c Avoid negative values in malloc_utils metrics (#2692)
## Proposed Changes

While investigating memory usage I noticed that the malloc metrics were going negative once they passed 2GiB. This is because the underlying `mallinfo` function returns a `i32`, and we were casting it straight to an `i64`, preserving the sign.

The long-term fix will be to move to `mallinfo2`, but it's still not yet widely available.

58870fc6d3 Add test_logger as feature to logging (#2586)
## Issue Addressed

Fix #2585

## Proposed Changes

Provide a canonical version of test_logger that can be used
throughout lighthouse.

## Additional Info

This allows tests to conditionally emit logging data by adding
test_logger as the default logger. And then when executing
`cargo test --features logging/test_logger` log output
will be visible:

  wink@3900x:~/lighthouse/common/logging/tests/test-feature-test_logger (Add-test_logger-as-feature-to-logging)

4c510f8f6b Add BlockTimesCache to allow additional block delay metrics (#2546)
## Issue Addressed

Closes #2528

## Proposed Changes

- Add `BlockTimesCache` to provide block timing information to `BeaconChain`. This allows additional metrics to be calculated for blocks that are set as head too late.
- Thread the `seen_timestamp` of blocks received from RPC responses (except blocks from syncing) through to the sync manager, similar to what is done for blocks from gossip.

## Additional Info

This provides the following additional metrics:
- `BEACON_BLOCK_OBSERVED_SLOT_START_DELAY_TIME`
  - The delay between the start of the slot and when the block was first observed.
- `BEACON_BLOCK_IMPORTED_OBSERVED_DELAY_TIME`
   - The delay between when the block was first observed and when the block was imported.
- `BEACON_BLOCK_HEAD_IMPORTED_DELAY_TIME`
  - The delay between when the block was imported and when the block was set as head.

The metric `BEACON_BLOCK_IMPORTED_SLOT_START_DELAY_TIME` was removed.

A log is produced when a block is set as head too late, e.g.:
```
Aug 27 03:46:39.006 DEBG Delayed head block                      set_as_head_delay: Some(21.731066ms), imported_delay: Some(119.929934ms), observed_delay: Some(3.864596988s), block_delay: 4.006257988s, slot: 1931331, proposer_index: 24294, block_root: 0x937602c89d3143afa89088a44bdf4b4d0d760dad082abacb229495c048648a9e, service: beacon

924a1345b1 Update zeroize_derive (#2625)
## Issue Addressed

NA

## Proposed Changes

As `cargo audit` astutely pointed out, the version of `zeroize_derive` were were using had a vulnerability:

```
Crate:         zeroize_derive
Version:       1.1.0
Title:         `#[zeroize(drop)]` doesn't implement `Drop` for `enum`s
Date:          2021-09-24
ID:            RUSTSEC-2021-0115
URL:           https://rustsec.org/advisories/RUSTSEC-2021-0115
Solution:      Upgrade to >=1.2.0
```

This PR updates `zeroize` and `zeroize_derive` to appease `cargo audit`.

`tiny-bip39` was also updated to allow compile.

## Additional Info

I don't believe this vulnerability actually affected the Lighthouse code-base directly. However, `tiny-bip39` may have been affected which may have resulted in some uncleaned memory in Lighthouse. Whilst this is not ideal, it's not a major issue. Zeroization is a nice-to-have since it only protects from sophisticated attacks or attackers that already have a high level of access already.

fe52322088 Implement SSZ union type (#2579)
## Issue Addressed

NA

## Proposed Changes

Implements the "union" type from the SSZ spec for `ssz`, `ssz_derive`, `tree_hash` and `tree_hash_derive` so it may be derived for `enums`:

https://github.com/ethereum/consensus-specs/blob/v1.1.0-beta.3/ssz/simple-serialize.md#union

The union type is required for the merge, since the `Transaction` type is defined as a single-variant union `Union[OpaqueTransaction]`.

### Crate Updates

This PR will (hopefully) cause CI to publish new versions for the following crates:

- `eth2_ssz_derive`: `0.2.1` -> `0.3.0`
- `eth2_ssz`: `0.3.0` -> `0.4.0`
- `eth2_ssz_types`: `0.2.0` -> `0.2.1`
- `tree_hash`: `0.3.0` -> `0.4.0`
- `tree_hash_derive`: `0.3.0` -> `0.4.0`

These these crates depend on each other, I've had to add a workspace-level `[patch]` for these crates. A follow-up PR will need to remove this patch, ones the new versions are published.

### Union Behaviors

We already had SSZ `Encode` and `TreeHash` derive for enums, however it just did a "transparent" pass-through of the inner value. Since the "union" decoding from the spec is in conflict with the transparent method, I've required that all `enum` have exactly one of the following enum-level attributes:

#### SSZ

-  `#[ssz(enum_behaviour = "union")]`
    - matches the spec used for the merge
-  `#[ssz(enum_behaviour = "transparent")]`
    - maintains existing functionality
    - not supported for `Decode` (never was)
    
#### TreeHash

-  `#[tree_hash(enum_behaviour = "union")]`
    - matches the spec used for the merge
-  `#[tree_hash(enum_behaviour = "transparent")]`
    - maintains existing functionality

This means that we can maintain the existing transparent behaviour, but all existing users will get a compile-time error until they explicitly opt-in to being transparent.

### Legacy Option Encoding

Before this PR, we already had a union-esque encoding for `Option<T>`. However, this was with the *old* SSZ spec where the union selector was 4 bytes. During merge specification, the spec was changed to use 1 byte for the selector.

Whilst the 4-byte `Option` encoding was never used in the spec, we used it in our database. Writing a migrate script for all occurrences of `Option` in the database would be painful, especially since it's used in the `CommitteeCache`. To avoid the migrate script, I added a serde-esque `#[ssz(with = "module")]` field-level attribute to `ssz_derive` so that we can opt into the 4-byte encoding on a field-by-field basis.

The `ssz::legacy::four_byte_impl!` macro allows a one-liner to define the module required for the `#[ssz(with = "module")]` for some `Option<T> where T: Encode + Decode`.

Notably, **I have removed `Encode` and `Decode` impls for `Option`**. I've done this to force a break on downstream users. Like I mentioned, `Option` isn't used in the spec so I don't think it'll be *that* annoying. I think it's nicer than quietly having two different union implementations or quietly breaking the existing `Option` impl.

### Crate Publish Ordering

I've modified the order in which CI publishes crates to ensure that we don't publish a crate without ensuring we already published a crate that it depends upon.

## TODO

- [ ] Queue a follow-up `[patch]`-removing PR.

- [x] Don't crash fetching beacon states by slot from the API
- [x] Background service for state reconstruction, triggered by CLI flag or API call.

Considered out of scope for this PR:

- Drop the requirement to provide the `--checkpoint-block` (this would require some pretty heavy refactoring of block verification)

c5c7476518 Web3Signer support for VC (#2522)
[EIP-3030]: https://eips.ethereum.org/EIPS/eip-3030
[Web3Signer]: https://consensys.github.io/web3signer/web3signer-eth2.html

## Issue Addressed

Resolves #2498

## Proposed Changes

Allows the VC to call out to a [Web3Signer] remote signer to obtain signatures.


## Additional Info

### Making Signing Functions `async`

To allow remote signing, I needed to make all the signing functions `async`. This caused a bit of noise where I had to convert iterators into `for` loops.

In `duties_service.rs` there was a particularly tricky case where we couldn't hold a write-lock across an `await`, so I had to first take a read-lock, then grab a write-lock.

### Move Signing from Core Executor

Whilst implementing this feature, I noticed that we signing was happening on the core tokio executor. I suspect this was causing the executor to temporarily lock and occasionally trigger some HTTP timeouts (and potentially SQL pool timeouts, but I can't verify this). Since moving all signing into blocking tokio tasks, I noticed a distinct drop in the "atttestations_http_get" metric on a Prater node:

![http_get_times](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/6660660/132143737-82fd3836-2e7e-445b-a143-cb347783baad.png)

I think this graph indicates that freeing the core executor allows the VC to operate more smoothly.

### Refactor TaskExecutor

I noticed that the `TaskExecutor::spawn_blocking_handle` function would fail to spawn tasks if it were unable to obtain handles to some metrics (this can happen if the same metric is defined twice). It seemed that a more sensible approach would be to keep spawning tasks, but without metrics. To that end, I refactored the function so that it would still function without metrics. There are no other changes made.

## TODO

- [x] Restructure to support multiple signing methods.
- [x] Add calls to remote signer from VC.
- [x] Documentation
- [x] Test all endpoints
- [x] Test HTTPS certificate
- [x] Allow adding remote signer validators via the API
- [x] Add Altair support via [21.8.1-rc1](https://github.com/ConsenSys/web3signer/releases/tag/21.8.1-rc1)
- [x] Create issue to start using latest version of web3signer. (See #2570)

## Notes

- ~~Web3Signer doesn't yet support the Altair fork for Prater. See https://github.com/ConsenSys/web3signer/issues/423.~~
- ~~There is not yet a release of Web3Signer which supports Altair blocks. See https://github.com/ConsenSys/web3signer/issues/391.~~

58012f85e1 Shutdown gracefully on panic (#2596)
## Proposed Changes

* Modify the `TaskExecutor` so that it spawns a "monitor" future for each future spawned by `spawn` or `spawn_blocking`. This monitor future joins the handle of the child future and shuts down the executor if it detects a panic.
* Enable backtraces by default by setting the environment variable `RUST_BACKTRACE`.
* Spawn the `ProductionBeaconNode` on the `TaskExecutor` so that if a panic occurs during start-up it will take down the whole process. Previously we were using a raw Tokio `spawn`, but I can't see any reason not to use the executor (perhaps someone else can).

## Additional Info

I considered using [`std::panic::set_hook`](https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/panic/fn.set_hook.html) to instantiate a custom panic handler, however this doesn't allow us to send a shutdown signal because `Fn` functions can't move variables (i.e. the shutdown sender) out of their environment. This also prevents it from receiving a `Logger`.  Hence I decided to leave the panic handler untouched, but with backtraces turned on by default.

I did a run through the code base with all the raw Tokio spawn functions disallowed by Clippy, and found only two instances where we bypass the `TaskExecutor`: the HTTP API and `InitializedValidators` in the VC. In both places we use `spawn_blocking` and handle the return value, so I figured that was OK for now.

In terms of performance I think the overhead should be minimal. The monitor tasks will just get parked by the executor until their child resolves.

I've checked that this covers Discv5, as the `TaskExecutor` gets injected into Discv5 here: f9bba92db3/beacon_node/src/lib.rs (L125-L126)

f4aa1d8aea Archive remote_signer code (#2559)
## Proposed Changes

This PR deletes all `remote_signer` code from Lighthouse, for the following reasons:

* The `remote_signer` code is unused, and we have no plans to use it now that we're moving to supporting the Web3Signer APIs: #2522
* It represents a significant maintenance burden. The HTTP API tests have been prone to platform-specific failures, and breakages due to dependency upgrades, e.g. #2400.

Although the code is deleted it remains in the Git history should we ever want to recover it. For ease of reference:

99737c551a Improve eth1 fallback logging (#2490)
## Issue Addressed

Resolves #2487 

## Proposed Changes

Logs a message once in every invocation of `Eth1Service::update` method if the primary endpoint is unavailable for some reason. 

e.g.
```log
Aug 03 00:09:53.517 WARN Error connecting to eth1 node endpoint  action: trying fallbacks, endpoint: http://localhost:8545/, service: eth1_rpc
Aug 03 00:09:56.959 INFO Fetched data from fallback              fallback_number: 1, service: eth1_rpc
```

The main aim of this PR is to have an accompanying message to the "action: trying fallbacks" error message that is returned when checking the endpoint for liveness. This is mainly to indicate to the user that the fallback was live and reachable. 

## Additional info
This PR is not meant to be a catch all for all cases where the primary endpoint failed. For instance, this won't log anything if the primary node was working fine during endpoint liveness checking and failed during deposit/block fetching. This is done intentionally to reduce number of logs while initial deposit/block sync and to avoid more complicated logic.

## Proposed Changes

* Consolidate Tokio versions: everything now uses the latest v1.10.0, no more `tokio-compat`.
* Many semver-compatible changes via `cargo update`. Notably this upgrades from the yanked v0.8.0 version of crossbeam-deque which is present in v1.5.0-rc.0
* Many semver incompatible upgrades via `cargo upgrades` and `cargo upgrade --workspace pkg_name`. Notable ommissions:
    - Prometheus, to be handled separately: https://github.com/sigp/lighthouse/issues/2485
    - `rand`, `rand_xorshift`: the libsecp256k1 package requires 0.7.x, so we'll stick with that for now
    - `ethereum-types` is pinned at 0.11.0 because that's what `web3` is using and it seems nice to have just a single version
    
## Additional Info

We still have two versions of `libp2p-core` due to `discv5` depending on the v0.29.0 release rather than `master`. AFAIK it should be OK to release in this state (cc @AgeManning )

4af6fcfafd Bump libp2p to address inconsistency in mesh peer tracking (#2493)
## Issue Addressed

- Resolves #2457
- Resolves #2443

## Proposed Changes

Target the (presently unreleased) head of `libp2p/rust-libp2p:master` in order to obtain the fix from https://github.com/libp2p/rust-libp2p/pull/2175.

Additionally:

- `libsecp256k1` needed to be upgraded to satisfy the new version of `libp2p`.
- There were also a handful of minor changes to `eth2_libp2p` to suit some interface changes.
- Two `cargo audit --ignore` flags were remove due to libp2p upgrades.

33ff51a096 Add Altair fork schedule for Pyrmont (#2501)
## Issue Addressed

NA

## Proposed Changes

Adds the Altair fork schedule for Pyrmont, as per https://github.com/eth2-clients/eth2-networks/pull/56 (credits to @ajsutton).

## Additional Info

- I've marked this as `do-not-merge` until the upstream PR is merged.
- I've tagged this for `v1.5.0` because I expect the upstream PR to be merged soon, and I think it would be great if v1.5.0 shipped fully ready for the Pyrmont fork.

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
