5388183884 Allow per validator fee recipient via flag or file in validator client (similar to graffiti / graffiti-file) (#2924)
## Issue Addressed

#2883 

## Proposed Changes

* Added `suggested-fee-recipient` & `suggested-fee-recipient-file` flags to validator client (similar to graffiti / graffiti-file implementation).
* Added proposer preparation service to VC, which sends the fee-recipient of all known validators to the BN via [/eth/v1/validator/prepare_beacon_proposer](https://github.com/ethereum/beacon-APIs/pull/178) api once per slot
* Added [/eth/v1/validator/prepare_beacon_proposer](https://github.com/ethereum/beacon-APIs/pull/178) api endpoint and preparation data caching
* Added cleanup routine to remove cached proposer preparations when not updated for 2 epochs

## Additional Info

Changed the Implementation following the discussion in #2883.

675c7b7e26 Correct a dial race condition (#2992)
## Issue Addressed

On a network with few nodes, it is possible that the same node can be found from a subnet discovery and a normal peer discovery at the same time.

The network behaviour loads these peers into events and processes them when it has the chance. It can happen that the same peer can enter the event queue more than once and then attempt to be dialed twice. 

This PR shifts the registration of nodes in the peerdb as being dialed before they enter the NetworkBehaviour queue, preventing multiple attempts of the same peer being entered into the queue and avoiding the race condition.

615695776e Retry gossipsub messages when insufficient peers (#2964)
## Issue Addressed
#2947 

## Proposed Changes

Store messages that fail to be published due to insufficient peers for retry later. Messages expire after half an epoch and are retried if gossipsub informs us that an useful peer has connected. Currently running in Atlanta

## Additional Info
If on retry sending the messages fails they will not be tried again

a6da87066b Add strict penalties const bool (#2976)
## Issue Addressed

NA

## Proposed Changes

Adds `STRICT_LATE_MESSAGE_PENALTIES: bool` which allows for toggling penalties for late sync/attn messages.

`STRICT_LATE_MESSAGE_PENALTIES` is set to `false`, since we're seeing a lot of late messages on the network which are causing peer drops. We can toggle the bool during testing to try and figure out what/who is the cause of these late messages.

In effect, this PR *relaxes* peer downscoring for late attns and sync committee messages.

139b44342f Optimized Docker images (#2966)
## Issue Addressed

Closes #2938

## Proposed Changes

* Build and publish images with a `-modern` suffix which enable CPU optimizations for modern hardware.
* Add docs for the plethora of available images!
* Unify all the Docker workflows in `docker.yml` (including for tagged releases).

## Additional Info

The `Dockerfile` is no longer used by our Docker Hub builds, as we use `cross` and a generic approach for ARM and x86. There's a new CI job `docker-build-from-source` which tests the `Dockerfile` without publishing anything.

bdd70d7aef Reduce gossip history (#2969)
The gossipsub history was increased to a good portion of a slot from 2.1 seconds in the last release.

Although it shouldn't cause too much issue, it could be related to recieving later messages than usual and interacting with our scoring system penalizing peers. For consistency, this PR reduces the time we gossip messages back to the same values of the previous release.

It also adjusts the gossipsub heartbeat time for testing purposes with a developer flag but this should not effect end users.

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.

99d2c33387 Avoid looking up pre-finalization blocks (#2909)
## Issue Addressed

This PR fixes the unnecessary `WARN Single block lookup failed` messages described here:

https://github.com/sigp/lighthouse/pull/2866#issuecomment-1008442640

## Proposed Changes

Add a new cache to the `BeaconChain` that tracks the block roots of blocks from before finalization. These could be blocks from the canonical chain (which might need to be read from disk), or old pre-finalization blocks that have been forked out.

The cache also stores a set of block roots for in-progress single block lookups, which duplicates some of the information from sync's `single_block_lookups` hashmap:

a836e180f9/beacon_node/network/src/sync/manager.rs (L192-L196)

On a live node you can confirm that the cache is working by grepping logs for the message: `Rejected attestation to finalized block`.

e05142b798 Add API to compute discrete validator attestation performance (#2874)
## Issue Addressed

N/A

## Proposed Changes

Add a HTTP API which can be used to compute the attestation performances of a validator (or all validators) over a discrete range of epochs.
Performances can be computed for a single validator, or for the global validator set. 

## Usage
### 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.

f2b1e096b2 Code quality improvents to the network service (#2932)
Checking how to priorize the polling of the network I moved most of the service code to functions. This change I think it's worth on it's own for code quality since inside the `tokio::select` many tools don't work (cargo fmt, sometimes clippy, and sometimes even the compiler's errors get wack). This is functionally equivalent to the previous code, just better organized

9964f5afe5 Document why we hash downloaded blocks for both sync algs (#2927)
## Proposed Changes
Initially the idea was to remove hashing of blocks in backfill sync. After considering it more, we conclude that we need to do it in both (forward and backfill) anyway. But since we forgot why we were doing it in the first place, this PR documents this logic. 

Future us should find it useful

69288f6164 VC: don't warn if BN config doesn't match exactly (#2952)
## Proposed Changes

Remove the check for exact equality on the beacon node spec when polling `/config/spec` from the VC. This check was always overzealous, and mostly served to check that the BN was configured for upcoming forks. I've replaced it by explicit checks of the `altair_fork_epoch` and `bellatrix_fork_epoch` instead.

## Additional Info

We should come back to this and clean it up so that we can retain compatibility while removing the field `default`s we installed.

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.

799aedd631 Add default config options for transition constants (#2940)
## Issue Addressed

Continuation to #2934 

## Proposed Changes

Currently, we have the transition fields in the config (`TERMINAL_TOTAL_DIFFICULTY`, `TERMINAL_BLOCK_HASH` and `TERMINAL_BLOCK_HASH_ACTIVATION_EPOCH`) as mandatory fields. 

This is causing compatibility issues with other client BN's (nimbus and teku v22.1.0) which don't return these fields on a `eth/v1/config/spec` api call. Since we don't use this values until the merge, I think it's okay to have default values set for these fields as well to ensure compatibility.

Which issue # does this PR address?
There's a redundant field on the BeaconChain called disabled_forks that was once part of our fork-aware networking (#953) but which is no longer used and could be deleted. so Removed all references to disabled_forks so that the code compiles and git grep disabled_forks returns no results.

## Proposed Changes

Please list or describe the changes introduced by this PR.

fc7a1a7dc7 Allow disconnected states to introduce new peers without warning (#2922)
## Issue Addressed

We emit a warning to verify that all peer connection state information is consistent. A warning is given under one edge case;
We try to dial a peer with peer-id X and multiaddr Y. The peer responds to multiaddr Y with a different peer-id, Z. The dialing to the peer fails, but libp2p injects the failed attempt as peer-id Z. 

In this instance, our PeerDB tries to add a new peer in the disconnected state under a previously unknown peer-id. This is harmless and so this PR permits this behaviour without logging a warning.

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.

9ed92d6e78 Use "release candidate" in book (#2920)
## Issue Addressed

NA

## Proposed Changes

Since we use the `rc` (release candidate) tag in our version strings, it seems consistent if we also use "release candidate" in the book rather than "pre-release".

Notably, Github adds a "pre-release" tag to release when we request. I think it's OK that Github uses that term whilst we consistently use "release candidate". Our docs indicate that the terms are interchangeable. 

## Additional Info

I hope to use the new docs link in the `v2.1.0` release, so it would be nice if we can merge this soon 🙏

I believe the change in #2832 is good and we should keep it, but I think that in its present form it is causing the `SnapshotCache` to hold onto states that it doesn't need anymore. For example, a skip slot will result in one more `BeaconSnapshot` being stored in the cache.

This PR adds a new type of pruning that happens after a block is inserted to the cache. We will remove any snapshot from the cache that is a *grandparent* of the block being imported. Since we know the grandparent has two valid blocks built atop it, it is not at risk from a one-block re-org.

ceeab02e3a Lazy hashing for SignedBeaconBlock in sync (#2916)
## Proposed Changes

Allocate less memory in sync by hashing the `SignedBeaconBlock`s in a batch directly, rather than going via SSZ bytes.

1c667ad3ca PeerDB Status unknown bug fix (#2907)
## Issue Addressed

The PeerDB was getting out of sync with the number of disconnected peers compared to the actual count. As this value determines how many we store in our cache, over time the cache was depleting and we were removing peers immediately resulting in errors that manifest as unknown peers for some operations.

The error occurs when dialing a peer fails, we were not correctly updating the peerdb counter because the increment to the counter was placed in the wrong order and was therefore not incrementing the count. 

This PR corrects this.

6f4102aab6 Network performance tuning (#2608)
There is a pretty significant tradeoff between bandwidth and speed of gossipsub messages. 

We can reduce our bandwidth usage considerably at the cost of minimally delaying gossipsub messages. The impact of delaying messages has not been analyzed thoroughly yet, however this PR in conjunction with some gossipsub updates show considerable bandwidth reduction. 

This PR allows the user to set a CLI value (`network-load`) which is an integer in the range of 1 of 5 depending on their bandwidth appetite. 1 represents the least bandwidth but slowest message recieving and 5 represents the most bandwidth and fastest received message time. 

For low-bandwidth users it is likely to be more efficient to use a lower value. The default is set to 3, which currently represents a reduced bandwidth usage compared to previous version of this PR. The previous lighthouse versions are equivalent to setting the `network-load` CLI to 4.

This PR is awaiting a few gossipsub updates before we can get it into lighthouse.
