Downgrade inconsistent chain segment states from `panic` to `crit`. I don't love this solution but since range can always bounce back from any of those, we don't panic.

## Issue Addressed
chain state inconsistencies
## Proposed Changes
- a batch can be fake-failed by Range if it needs to move a peer to another chain. The peer will still send blocks/ errors / produce timeouts for those requests, so check when we get a response from the RPC that the request id matches, instead of only the peer, since a re-request can be directed to the same peer.
- if an optimistic batch succeeds, store the attempt to avoid trying it again when quickly switching chains. Also, use it only if ahead of our current target, instead of the segment's start epoch
## Issue Addressed
NA
## Proposed Changes
Uses a `Drop` implementation to help ensure that `BeaconProcessor` workers are freed. This will help prevent against regression, if someone happens to add an early return and it will also help in the case of a panic.

Store a schema version in the database so that future releases can check they're running against a compatible database version. This would also enable automatic migration on breaking database changes, but that's left as future work.
The database config is also stored in the database so that the `slots_per_restore_point` value can be checked for consistency, which closes#673

- Implement the https://github.com/ethereum/eth2.0-APIs in a new `http_api` crate using `warp`. This replaces the `rest_api` crate.
- Add a new `common/eth2` crate which provides a wrapper around `reqwest`, providing the HTTP client that is used by the validator client and for testing. This replaces the `common/remote_beacon_node` crate.
- Create a `http_metrics` crate which is a dedicated server for Prometheus metrics (they are no longer served on the same port as the REST API). We now have flags for `--metrics`, `--metrics-address`, etc.
- Allow the `subnet_id` to be an optional parameter for `VerifiedUnaggregatedAttestation::verify`. This means it does not need to be provided unnecessarily by the validator client.
- Move `fn map_attestation_committee` in `mod beacon_chain::attestation_verification` to a new `fn with_committee_cache` on the `BeaconChain` so the same cache can be used for obtaining validator duties.
- Add some other helpers to `BeaconChain` to assist with common API duties (e.g., `block_root_at_slot`, `head_beacon_block_root`).
- Change the `NaiveAggregationPool` so it can index attestations by `hash_tree_root(attestation.data)`. This is a requirement of the API.

- Fix bug where `seconds_per_eth1_block` was not transferring over from `YamlConfig` to `ChainSpec`.
- Add the `deposit_contract_address` to `YamlConfig` and `ChainSpec`. We needed to be able to return it in an API response.
- Change some uses of serde `serialize_with` and `deserialize_with` to a single use of `with` (code quality).

## Issue Addressed
- Resolves#1313
## Proposed Changes
Changes the way we start the validator client and beacon node to ensure that we cleanly drop the validator keystores (which therefore ensures we cleanup their lockfiles).
Previously we were holding the validator keystores in a tokio task that was being forcefully killed (i.e., without `Drop`). Now, we hold them in a task that can gracefully handle a shutdown.
Also, switches the `--strict-lockfiles` flag to `--delete-lockfiles`. This means two things:
1. We are now strict on lockfiles by default (before we weren't).
1. There's a simple way for people delete the lockfiles if they experience a crash.
## Additional Info
I've only given the option to ignore *and* delete lockfiles, not just ignore them. I can't see a strong need for ignore-only but could easily add it, if the need arises.
I've flagged this as `api-breaking` since users that have lockfiles lingering around will be required to supply `--delete-lockfiles` next time they run.
## Issue Addressed
Closes#1680
## Proposed Changes
This PR fixes a race condition in beacon node start-up whereby the pubkey cache could be created by the beacon chain builder before the `PersistedBeaconChain` was stored to disk. When the node restarted, it would find the persisted chain missing, and attempt to start from scratch, creating a new pubkey cache in the process. This call to `ValidatorPubkeyCache::new` would fail if the file already existed (which it did). I changed the behaviour so that pubkey cache initialization now doesn't care whether there's a file already in existence (it's only a cache after all). Instead it will truncate and recreate the file in the race scenario described.
## Issue Addressed
NA
## Proposed Changes
There are four new conditions introduced in v0.12.3:
1. _[REJECT]_ The attestation's epoch matches its target -- i.e. `attestation.data.target.epoch ==
compute_epoch_at_slot(attestation.data.slot)`
1. _[REJECT]_ The attestation's target block is an ancestor of the block named in the LMD vote -- i.e.
`get_ancestor(store, attestation.data.beacon_block_root, compute_start_slot_at_epoch(attestation.data.target.epoch)) == attestation.data.target.root`
1. _[REJECT]_ The committee index is within the expected range -- i.e. `data.index < get_committee_count_per_slot(state, data.target.epoch)`.
1. _[REJECT]_ The number of aggregation bits matches the committee size -- i.e.
`len(attestation.aggregation_bits) == len(get_beacon_committee(state, data.slot, data.index))`.
This PR implements new logic to suit (1) and (2). Tests are added for (3) and (4), although they were already implicitly enforced.
## Additional Info
- There's a bit of edge-case with target root verification that I raised here: https://github.com/ethereum/eth2.0-specs/pull/2001#issuecomment-699246659
- I've had to add an `--ignore` to `cargo audit` to get CI to pass. See https://github.com/sigp/lighthouse/issues/1669
## Issue Addressed
#629
## Proposed Changes
This removes banned peers from the DHT and informs discovery to block the node_id and the known source IP's associated with this node. It has the capabilities of un banning this peer after a period of time.
This also corrects the logic about banning specific IP addresses. We now use seen_ip addresses from libp2p rather than those sent to us via identify (which also include local addresses).
## Issue Addressed
In principle.. closes#1551 but in general are improvements for performance, maintainability and readability. The logic for the optimistic sync in actually simple
## Proposed Changes
There are miscellaneous things here:
- Remove unnecessary `BatchProcessResult::Partial` to simplify the batch validation logic
- Make batches a state machine. This is done to ensure batch state transitions respect our logic (this was previously done by moving batches between `Vec`s) and to ease the cognitive load of the `SyncingChain` struct
- Move most batch-related logic to the batch
- Remove `PendingBatches` in favor of a map of peers to their batches. This is to avoid duplicating peers inside the chain (peer_pool and pending_batches)
- Add `must_use` decoration to the `ProcessingResult` so that chains that request to be removed are handled accordingly. This also means that chains are now removed in more places than before to account for unhandled cases
- Store batches in a sorted map (`BTreeMap`) access is not O(1) but since the number of _active_ batches is bounded this should be fast, and saves performing hashing ops. Batches are indexed by the epoch they start. Sorted, to easily handle chain advancements (range logic)
- Produce the chain Id from the identifying fields: target root and target slot. This, to guarantee there can't be duplicated chains and be able to consistently search chains by either Id or checkpoint
- Fix chain_id not being present in all chain loggers
- Handle mega-edge case where the processor's work queue is full and the batch can't be sent. In this case the chain would lose the blocks, remain in a "syncing" state and waiting for a result that won't arrive, effectively stalling sync.
- When a batch imports blocks or the chain starts syncing with a local finalized epoch greater that the chain's start epoch, the chain is advanced instead of reset. This is to avoid losing download progress and validate batches faster. This also means that the old `start_epoch` now means "current first unvalidated batch", so it represents more accurately the progress of the chain.
- Batch status peers from the same chain to reduce Arc access.
- Handle a couple of cases where the retry counters for a batch were not updated/checked are now handled via the batch state machine. Basically now if we forget to do it, we will know.
- Do not send back the blocks from the processor to the batch. Instead register the attempt before sending the blocks (does not count as failed)
- When re-requesting a batch, try to avoid not only the last failed peer, but all previous failed peers.
- Optimize requesting batches ahead in the buffer by shuffling idle peers just once (this is just addressing a couple of old TODOs in the code)
- In chain_collection, store chains by their id in a map
- Include a mapping from request_ids to (chain, batch) that requested the batch to avoid the double O(n) search on block responses
- Other stuff:
- impl `slog::KV` for batches
- impl `slog::KV` for syncing chains
- PSA: when logging, we can use `%thing` if `thing` implements `Display`. Same for `?` and `Debug`
### Optimistic syncing:
Try first the batch that contains the current head, if the batch imports any block, advance the chain. If not, if this optimistic batch is inside the current processing window leave it there for future use, if not drop it. The tolerance for this block is the same for downloading, but just once for processing

## Issue Addressed
- Resolves#1080
## Proposed Changes
- Call `update_pubkey_cache` only in the `build_all_caches` method and `get_validator_index` method.
## Additional Info
This does reduce the number of places the cache is updated, making it simpler. But the `get_validator_index` method is used a couple times when we are iterating through the entire validator registry (or set of active validators). Before, we would only call `update_pubkey_cache` once before iterating through all validators. So I'm not _totally_ sure this change is worth it.
## Issue Addressed
- Resolves#1616
## Proposed Changes
If we look at the function which persists fork choice and the canonical head to disk:
1db8daae0c/beacon_node/beacon_chain/src/beacon_chain.rs (L234-L280)
There is a race-condition which might cause the canonical head and fork choice values to be out-of-sync.
I believe this is the cause of #1616. I managed to recreate the issue and produce a database that was unable to sync under the `master` branch but able to sync with this branch.
These new changes solve the issue by ignoring the persisted `canonical_head_block_root` value and instead getting fork choice to generate it. This ensures that the canonical head is in-sync with fork choice.
## Additional Info
This is hotfix method that leaves some crusty code hanging around. Once this PR is merged (to satisfy the v0.2.x users) we should later update and merge #1638 so we can have a clean fix for the v0.3.x versions.

## Issue Addressed
- Resolves#1616
## Proposed Changes
Fixes a bug where we are unable to read the finalized block from fork choice.
## Detail
I had made an assumption that the finalized block always has a parent root of `None`:
e5fc6bab48/consensus/fork_choice/src/fork_choice.rs (L749-L752)
This was a faulty assumption, we don't set parent *roots* to `None`. Instead we *sometimes* set parent *indices* to `None`, depending if this pruning condition is satisfied:
e5fc6bab48/consensus/proto_array/src/proto_array.rs (L229-L232)
The bug manifested itself like this:
1. We attempt to get the finalized block from fork choice
1. We try to check that the block is descendant of the finalized block (note: they're the same block).
1. We expect the parent root to be `None`, but it's actually the parent root of the finalized root.
1. We therefore end up checking if the parent of the finalized root is a descendant of itself. (note: it's an *ancestor* not a *descendant*).
1. We therefore declare that the finalized block is not a descendant of (or eq to) the finalized block. Bad.
## Additional Info
In reflection, I made a poor assumption in the quest to obtain a probably negligible performance gain. The performance gain wasn't worth the risk and we got burnt.

## Proposed Changes
This is a temporary workaround that prevents finalized chain sync from swapping chains. I'm merging this in now until the full solution is ready.
## Issue Addressed
Malicious users could request very large block ranges, more than we expect. Although technically legal, we are now quadraticaly weighting large step sizes in the filter. Therefore users may request large skips, but not a large number of blocks, to prevent requests forcing us to do long chain lookups.

Weight the step parameter in the RPC filter and prevent any overflows that effect us in the step parameter.

## Issue Addressed
Partly addresses #1547
## Proposed Changes
This fix addresses the missing attestations at slot 0 of an epoch (also sometimes slot 1 when slot 0 was skipped).
There are 2 cases:
1. BN receives the block for the attestation slot after 4 seconds (1/3rd of the slot).
2. No block is proposed for this slot.
In both cases, when we produce the attestation, we pass the head state to the
`produce_unaggregated_attestation_for_block` function here
9833eca024/beacon_node/beacon_chain/src/beacon_chain.rs (L845-L850)
Since we don't advance the state in this function, we set `attestation.data.source = state.current_justified_checkpoint` which is atleast 2 epochs lower than current_epoch(wall clock epoch).
This attestation is invalid and cannot be included in a block because of this assert from the spec:
```python
if data.target.epoch == get_current_epoch(state):
assert data.source == state.current_justified_checkpoint
state.current_epoch_attestations.append(pending_attestation)
```
https://github.com/ethereum/eth2.0-specs/blob/dev/specs/phase0/beacon-chain.md#attestations
This PR changes the `produce_unaggregated_attestation_for_block` function to ensure that it advances the state before producing the attestation at the new epoch.
Running this on my node, have missed 0 attestations across all 8 of my validators in a 100 epoch period 🎉
To compare, I was missing ~14 attestations across all 8 validators in the same 100 epoch period before the fix.
Will report missed attestations if any after running for another 100 epochs tomorrow.

Co-authored-by: Age Manning <Age@AgeManning.com>
The PR:
* Adds the ability to generate a crucial test scenario that isn't possible with `BeaconChainHarness` (i.e. two blocks occupying the same slot; previously forks necessitated skipping slots):
* New testing API: Instead of repeatedly calling add_block(), you generate a sorted `Vec<Slot>` and leave it up to the framework to generate blocks at those slots.
* Jumping backwards to an earlier epoch is a hard error, so that tests necessarily generate blocks in a epoch-by-epoch manner.
* Configures the test logger so that output is printed on the console in case a test fails. The logger also plays well with `--nocapture`, contrary to the existing testing framework
* Rewrites existing fork pruning tests to use the new API
* Adds a tests that triggers finalization at a non epoch boundary slot
* Renamed `BeaconChainYoke` to `BeaconChainTestingRig` because the former has been too confusing
* Fixed multiple tests (e.g. `block_production_different_shuffling_long`, `delete_blocks_and_states`, `shuffling_compatible_simple_fork`) that relied on a weird (and accidental) feature of the old `BeaconChainHarness` that attestations aren't produced for epochs earlier than the current one, thus masking potential bugs in test cases.

## Issue Addressed
Closes#1488
## Proposed Changes
* Prevent the pruning algorithm from over-eagerly deleting states at skipped slots when they are shared with the canonical chain.
* Add `debug` logging to the pruning algorithm so we have so better chance of debugging future issues from logs.
* Modify the handling of the "finalized state" in the beacon chain, so that it's always the state at the first slot of the finalized epoch (previously it was the state at the finalized block). This gives database pruning a clearer and cleaner view of things, and will marginally impact the pruning of the op pool, observed proposers, etc (in ways that are safe as far as I can tell).
* Remove duplicated `RevertedFinalizedEpoch` check from `after_finalization`
* Delete useless and unused `max_finality_distance`
* Add tests that exercise pruning with shared states at skip slots
* Delete unnecessary `block_strategy` argument from `add_blocks` and friends in the test harness (will likely conflict with #1380 slightly, sorry @adaszko -- but we can fix that)
* Bonus: add a `BeaconChain::with_head` method. I didn't end up needing it, but it turned out quite nice, so I figured we could keep it?

## Additional Info
This PR covers the `rest_api` which will soon be refactored to suit the standard API. As such, I've cut a few corners and left some existing issues open in this patch. What I have done here should leave the API in state that is not necessary *exactly* the same, but good enough for us to run validators with. Specifically, the number of blocking workers that can be spawned is unbounded and I have not implemented a queue; this will need to be fixed when we implement the standard API.
## Issue Addressed
#1378
## Proposed Changes
Boot node reuses code from beacon_node to initialize network config. This also enables using the network directory to store/load the enr and the private key.
## Additional Info
Note that before this PR the port cli arguments were off (the argument was named `enr-port` but used as `boot-node-enr-port`).
Therefore as port always the cli port argument was used (for both enr and listening). Now the enr-port argument can be used to overwrite the listening port as the public port others should connect to.
Last but not least note, that this restructuring reuses `ethlibp2p::NetworkConfig` that has many more options than the ones used in the boot node. For example the network config has an own `discv5_config` field that gets never used in the boot node and instead another `Discv5Config` gets created later in the boot node process.

It downgrades some warning logs and removes the slots per second sync speed if we are syncing and the speed is 0. This is likely because we are syncing from a finalised checkpoint and the head doesn't change.
## Issue Addressed
NA
## Proposed Changes
- Fixes a mistake I made in #1530 which resulted us in *not* rejecting attestations that we intended to reject.
- Adds skip-slot checks for blocks earlier in import process, so it rejects gossip and RPC blocks.
## Additional Info
NA
## Description
There can be many head chains queued up to complete. Currently we try and process all of these to completion before we consider the node synced.
In a chaotic network, there can be many of these and processing them to completion can be very expensive and slow. This PR removes any non-syncing head chains from the queue, and re-status's the peers. If, after we have synced to head on one chain, there is still a valid head chain to download, it will be re-established once the status has been returned.
This should assist with getting nodes to sync on medalla faster.
## Overview
There are forked chains which get referenced by blocks and attestations on a network. Typically if these chains are very long, we stop looking up the chain and downvote the peer. In extreme circumstances, many peers are on many chains, the chains can be very deep and become time consuming performing lookups.
This PR adds a cache to known failed chain lookups. This prevents us from starting a parent-lookup (or stopping one half way through) if we have attempted the chain lookup in the past.
## Description
Currently lighthouse load-balances across peers a single finalized chain. The chain is selected via the most peers. Once synced to the latest finalized epoch Lighthouse creates chains amongst its peers and syncs them all in parallel amongst each peer (grouped by their current head block).
This is typically fast and relatively efficient under normal operations. However if the chain has not finalized in a long time, the head chains can grow quite long. Peer's head chains will update every slot as new blocks are added to the head. Syncing all head chains in parallel is a bottleneck and highly inefficient in block duplication leads to RPC timeouts when attempting to handle all new heads chains at once.
This PR limits the parallelism of head syncing chains to 2. We now sync at most two head chains at a time. This allows for the possiblity of sync progressing alongside a peer being slow and holding up one chain via RPC timeouts.
The changes are somewhat simple but should solve two issues:
- When quickly changing between chains once and a second time back again, batchIds would collide and cause havoc.
- If we got an out of range response from a peer, sync would remain in syncing but without advancing
Changes:
- remove the batch id. Identify each batch (inside a chain) by its starting epoch. Target epochs for downloading and processing now advance by EPOCHS_PER_BATCH
- for the same reason, move the "to_be_downloaded_id" to be an epoch
- remove a sneaky line that dropped an out of range batch without downloading it
- bonus: put the chain_id in the log given to the chain. This is why explicitly logging the chain_id is removed
## Proposed Changes
To mitigate the impact of minority forks on RAM and disk usage, this change rejects blocks whose parent lies more than 320 slots (10 epochs, ~1 hour) in the past. The behaviour is configurable via `lighthouse bn --max-skip-slots N`, and can be turned off entirely using `--max-skip-slots none`.

## Issue Addressed
NA
## Proposed Changes
Moves beacon block processing over to the newly-added `GossipProcessor`. This moves the task off the core executor onto the blocking one.
## Additional Info
- With this PR, gossip blocks are being ignored during sync.
## Issue Addressed
NA
## Proposed Changes
- Adds a new function to allow getting a state with a bad state root history for attestation verification. This reduces unnecessary tree hashing during attestation processing, which accounted for 23% of memory allocations (by bytes) in a recent `heaptrack` observation.
- Don't clone caches on intermediate epoch-boundary states during block processing.
- Reject blocks that are known to fork choice earlier during gossip processing, instead of waiting until after state has been loaded (this only happens in edge-case).
- Avoid multiple re-allocations by creating a "forced" exact size iterator.

## Issue Addressed
There is currently an issue with yamux when connecting to prysm peers. The source of the issue is currently unknown.
This PR removes yamux support to force mplex negotation. We can add back yamux support once we have isolated and corrected the issue.
## Issue Addressed
Resolves#1489
## Proposed Changes
- Change starting metadata seq num to 0 according to the [spec](https://github.com/ethereum/eth2.0-specs/blob/dev/specs/phase0/p2p-interface.md#metadata).
- Remove metadata field from `NetworkGlobals`
- Persist metadata to disk on every update
- Load metadata seq number from disk on restart
- Persist enr to disk on update to ensure enr sequence number increments are persisted as well.
## Additional info
Since we modified starting metadata seq num to 0 from 1, we might still see `Invalid Sequence number provided` like in #1489 from prysm nodes if they have our metadata cached.
## Issue Addressed
#1384
Only catch, as currently implemented, when dialing the multiaddr nodes, there is no way to ask the peer manager if they are already connected or dialing
## Discovery v5 update
In this update we remove the openssl dependency in favour of rust-crypto.
The update also removes a series of unnecessary async functions which may improve some of the issues we have been experiencing.
## Issue Addressed
- Resolves#1451
## Proposed Changes
- Restricts the `contains_block` and `contains_block` so they only indicate a block is present if it descends from the finalized root. This helps to ensure that fork choice never points to a block that has been pruned from the database.
- Resolves#1451
- Before importing a block, double-check that its parent is known and a descendant of the finalized root.
- Split a big, monolithic block verification test into smaller tests.
## Additional Notes
I suspect there would be a craftier way to do the `is_descendant_of_finalized` check, but we're a bit tight on time now and we can optimize later if it starts showing in benches.
## TODO
- [x] Tests
## Issue Addressed
N/A
## Proposed Changes
Introduces the `GossipProcessor`, a multi-threaded (multi-tasked?), non-blocking processor for some messages from the network which require verification and import into the `BeaconChain`.
Initial testing indicates that this massively improves system stability by (a) moving block tasks from the normal executor (b) spreading out attestation load.
## Additional Info
TBC
These started to appear when I `^C` `curl -N http://localhost:5052/beacon/fork/stream`: `Aug 12 13:00:01.539 ERRO Couldn't stream piece hyper::Error(ChannelClosed), service: http`
Something must have changed in hyper since SSE has been implemented because I'm sure I haven't seen those errors before.
This PR properly detects a closed SSE stream and cleans up.
## Issue Addressed
NA
## 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.
limit simultaneous outgoing connections attempts to a reasonable top as an extra layer of protection
also shift the keep alive logic of the rpc handler to avoid needing to update it by hand. I think In rare cases this could make shutting down a connection a bit faster.
## Issue Addressed
#1419
## Proposed Changes
Creates a `--graffiti` cli flag in the validator client. If the flag is set, it overrides graffiti in the beacon node.
## Additional Info
## Issue Addressed
#1483
## Proposed Changes
Upgrades the log to a critical if a listener fails. We are able to listen on many interfaces so a single instance is not critical. We should however gracefully shutdown the client if we have no listeners, although the client can still function solely on outgoing connections.
For now a critical is raised and I leave #1494 for more sophisticated handling of this.
This also updates discv5 to handle errors of binding to a UDP socket such that lighthouse is now able to handle them.
## Issue Addressed
Some nodes not following head, high CPU usage and HTTP API delays
## Proposed Changes
Patches gossipsub. Gossipsub was using an `lru_time_cache` to check for duplicates. This contained an `O(N)` lookup for every gossipsub message to update the time cache. This was causing high cpu usage and blocking network threads.
This PR introduces a custom cache without `O(N)` inserts.
This also adds built in safety mechanisms to prevent gossipsub from excessively retrying connections upon failure. A maximum limit is set after which we disconnect from the node from too many failed substream connections.
## Issue Addressed
Peers that connected after the peer limit may remain connected in some circumstances.
This ensures peers not in the peer manager's list get disconnected. Further logging is also added to track this behaviour.
