## Issue Addressed
Move to latest official version of blst (v0.3.1). Incorporate all the subgroup check API changes.
## Proposed Changes
Update Cargo.toml to use official blst crate 0.3.1
Modifications to blst.rs wrapper for subgroup check API changes
## Additional Info
The overall subgroup check methodology is public keys should be check for validity using key_validate() at time of first seeing them. This will check for infinity and in group. Those keys can then be cached for future usage. All calls into blst set the pk_validate boolean to false to indicate there is no need for on the fly checking of public keys in the library. Additionally the public keys are supposed to be validated for proof of possession outside of blst.
For signatures the subgroup check can be done at time of deserialization, prior to being used in aggregation or verification, or in the blst aggregation or verification functions themselves. In the interface wrapper the call to subgroup_check has been left for one instance, although that could be moved into the
verify_multiple_aggregate_signatures() call if wanted. Checking beforehand does save some compute resources in the scenario a bad signature is received. Elsewhere the subgroup check is being done inside the higher level operations. See comments in the code.
All checks on signature are done for subgroup only. There are no checks for infinity. The rationale is an aggregate signature could technically equal infinity. If any individual signature was infinity (invalid) then it would fail at time of verification. A loss of compute resources, although safety would be preserved.
## Issue Addressed
Closes#1504Closes#1505
Replaces #1703Closes#1707
## Proposed Changes
* Update BLST and Milagro to versions compatible with BLSv4 spec
* Update Lighthouse to spec v1.0.0-rc.0, and update EF test vectors
* Use the v1.0.0 constants for `MainnetEthSpec`.
* Rename `InteropEthSpec` -> `V012LegacyEthSpec`
* Change all constants to suit the mainnet `v0.12.3` specification (i.e., Medalla).
* Deprecate the `--spec` flag for the `lighthouse` binary
* This value is now obtained from the `config_name` field of the `YamlConfig`.
* Built in testnet YAML files have been updated.
* Ignore the `--spec` value, if supplied, log a warning that it will be deprecated
* `lcli` still has the spec flag, that's fine because it's dev tooling.
* Remove the `E: EthSpec` from `YamlConfig`
* This means we need to deser the genesis `BeaconState` on-demand, but this is fine.
* Swap the old "minimal", "mainnet" strings over to the new `EthSpecId` enum.
* Always require a `CONFIG_NAME` field in `YamlConfig` (it used to have a default).
## Additional Info
Lots of breaking changes, do not merge! ~~We will likely need a Lighthouse v0.4.0 branch, and possibly a long-term v0.3.0 branch to keep Medalla alive~~.

## Issue Addressed
- Resolves#1705
## Proposed Changes
Cleans up some of my TODOs in the code base.
- Adds link to issue in this repo for BLST `unsafe` block.
- Confirms that the `nextaccount` field *is* required on an EIP-2386 wallet.
- Reference: https://github.com/mcdee/EIPs/blob/master/EIPS/eip-2386.md#json-schema
- Removes TODO about Zeroize on bip39 that was resolved in #1701
- Removes a TODO about an early randao reveal since we use the slot clock to generate the reveal: c4bd9c86e6/validator_client/src/block_service.rs (L212-L220)
## Additional Info
NA
## Issue Addressed
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
