931daa40d7 Add fork choice EF tests (#2737)
## Issue Addressed

Resolves #2545

## Proposed Changes

Adds the long-overdue EF tests for fork choice. Although we had pretty good coverage via other implementations that closely followed our approach, it is nonetheless important for us to implement these tests too.

During testing I found that we were using a hard-coded `SAFE_SLOTS_TO_UPDATE_JUSTIFIED` value rather than one from the `ChainSpec`. This caused a failure during a minimal preset test. This doesn't represent a risk to mainnet or testnets, since the hard-coded value matched the mainnet preset.

## Failing Cases

There is one failing case which is presently marked as `SkippedKnownFailure`:

```
case 4 ("new_finalized_slot_is_justified_checkpoint_ancestor") from /home/paul/development/lighthouse/testing/ef_tests/consensus-spec-tests/tests/minimal/phase0/fork_choice/on_block/pyspec_tests/new_finalized_slot_is_justified_checkpoint_ancestor failed with NotEqual:
head check failed: Got Head { slot: Slot(40), root: 0x9183dbaed4191a862bd307d476e687277fc08469fc38618699863333487703e7 } | Expected Head { slot: Slot(24), root: 0x105b49b51bf7103c182aa58860b039550a89c05a4675992e2af703bd02c84570 }
```

This failure is due to #2741. It's not a particularly high priority issue at the moment, so we fix it after merging this PR.

c4ad0e3fb3 Ensure dependent root consistency in head events (#2753)
## Issue Addressed

@paulhauner noticed that when we send head events, we use the block root from `new_head` in `fork_choice_internal`, but calculate `dependent_root` and `previous_dependent_root` using the `canonical_head`. This is normally fine because `new_head` updates the `canonical_head` in `fork_choice_internal`, but it's possible we have a reorg updating `canonical_head` before our head events are sent. So this PR ensures `dependent_root` and `previous_dependent_root` are always derived from the state associated with `new_head`.

4499adc7fd Check proposer index during block production (#2740)
## Issue Addressed

Resolves #2612 

## Proposed Changes

Implements both the checks mentioned in the original issue. 
1. Verifies the `randao_reveal` in the beacon node
2. Cross checks the proposer index after getting back the block from the beacon node.

## Additional info
The block production time increases by ~10x because of the signature verification on the beacon node (based on the `beacon_block_production_process_seconds` metric) when running on a local testnet.

ffb04e1a9e Add op pool metrics for attestations (#2758)
## Proposed Changes

Add several metrics for the number of attestations in the op pool. These give us a way to observe the number of valid, non-trivial attestations during block packing rather than just the size of the entire op pool.

d2e3d4c6f1 Add flag to disable lock timeouts (#2714)
## Issue Addressed

Mitigates #1096

## Proposed Changes

Add a flag to the beacon node called `--disable-lock-timeouts` which allows opting out of lock timeouts.

The lock timeouts serve a dual purpose:

1. They prevent any single operation from hogging the lock for too long. When a timeout occurs it logs a nasty error which indicates that there's suboptimal lock use occurring, which we can then act on.
2. They allow deadlock detection. We're fairly sure there are no deadlocks left in Lighthouse anymore but the timeout locks offer a safeguard against that.

However, timeouts on locks are not without downsides:

They allow for the possibility of livelock, particularly on slower hardware. If lock timeouts keep failing spuriously the node can be prevented from making any progress, even if it would be able to make progress slowly without the timeout. One particularly concerning scenario which could occur would be if a DoS attack succeeded in slowing block signature verification times across the network, and all Lighthouse nodes got livelocked because they timed out repeatedly. This could also occur on just a subset of nodes (e.g. dual core VPSs or Raspberri Pis).

By making the behaviour runtime configurable this PR allows us to choose the behaviour we want depending on circumstance. I suspect that long term we could make the timeout-free approach the default (#2381 moves in this direction) and just enable the timeouts on our testnet nodes for debugging purposes. This PR conservatively leaves the default as-is so we can gain some more experience before switching the default.

5cde3fc4da Reduce lock contention in backfill sync (#2716)
## Proposed Changes

Clone the proposer pubkeys during backfill signature verification to reduce the time that the pubkey cache lock is held for. Cloning such a small number of pubkeys has negligible impact on the total running time, but greatly reduces lock contention.

On a Ryzen 5950X, the setup step seems to take around 180us regardless of whether the key is cloned or not, while the verification takes 7ms. When Lighthouse is limited to 10% of one core using `sudo cpulimit --pid <pid> --limit 10` the total time jumps up to 800ms, but the setup step remains only 250us. This means that under heavy load this PR could cut the time the lock is held for from 800ms to 250us, which is a huge saving of 99.97%!

34d22b5920 Reduce validator monitor logging verbosity (#2606)
## Issue Addressed

Resolves #2541

## Proposed Changes

Reduces verbosity of validator monitor per epoch logging by batching info logs for multiple validators.

Instead of a log for every validator managed by the validator monitor, we now batch logs for attestation records for previous epoch.

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:

ed1fc7cca6 Fix I/O atomicity issues with checkpoint sync (#2671)
## Issue Addressed

This PR addresses an issue found by @YorickDowne during testing of v2.0.0-rc.0.

Due to a lack of atomic database writes on checkpoint sync start-up, it was possible for the database to get into an inconsistent state from which it couldn't recover without `--purge-db`. The core of the issue was that the store's anchor info was being stored _before_ the `PersistedBeaconChain`. If a crash occured so that anchor info was stored but _not_ the `PersistedBeaconChain`, then on restart Lighthouse would think the database was unitialized and attempt to compare-and-swap a `None` value, but would actually find the stale info from the previous run.

## Proposed Changes

The issue is fixed by writing the anchor info, the split point, and the `PersistedBeaconChain` atomically on start-up. Some type-hinting ugliness was required, which could possibly be cleaned up in future refactors.

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

70441aa554 Improve valmon inclusion delay calculation (#2618)
## Issue Addressed

Resolves #2552 

## Proposed Changes

Offers some improvement in inclusion distance calculation in the validator monitor. 

When registering an attestation from a block, instead of doing `block.slot() - attesstation.data.slot()` to get the inclusion distance, we now pass the parent block slot from the beacon chain and do `parent_slot.saturating_sub(attestation.data.slot())`. This allows us to give best effort inclusion distance in scenarios where the attestation was included right after a skip slot. Note that this does not give accurate results in scenarios where the attestation was included few blocks after the skip slot.

In this case, if the attestation slot was `b1` and was included in block `b2` with a skip slot in between, we would get the inclusion delay as 0  (by ignoring the skip slot) which is the best effort inclusion delay.
```
b1 <- missed <- b2
``` 

Here, if the attestation slot was `b1` and was included in block `b3` with a skip slot and valid block `b2` in between, then we would get the inclusion delay as 2 instead of 1 (by ignoring the skip slot).
```
b1 <- missed <- b2 <- b3 
```
A solution for the scenario 2 would be to count number of slots between included slot and attestation slot ignoring the skip slots in the beacon chain and pass the value to the validator monitor. But I'm concerned that it could potentially lead to db accesses for older blocks in extreme cases.


This PR also uses the validator monitor data for logging per epoch inclusion distance. This is useful as we won't get inclusion data in post-altair summaries.

be11437c27 Batch BLS verification for attestations (#2399)
## Issue Addressed

NA

## Proposed Changes

Adds the ability to verify batches of aggregated/unaggregated attestations from the network.

When the `BeaconProcessor` finds there are messages in the aggregated or unaggregated attestation queues, it will first check the length of the queue:

- `== 1` verify the attestation individually.
- `>= 2` take up to 64 of those attestations and verify them in a batch.

Notably, we only perform batch verification if the queue has a backlog. We don't apply any artificial delays to attestations to try and force them into batches. 

### Batching Details

To assist with implementing batches we modify `beacon_chain::attestation_verification` to have two distinct categories for attestations:

- *Indexed* attestations: those which have passed initial validation and were valid enough for us to derive an `IndexedAttestation`.
- *Verified* attestations: those attestations which were indexed *and also* passed signature verification. These are well-formed, interesting messages which were signed by validators.

The batching functions accept `n` attestations and then return `n` attestation verification `Result`s, where those `Result`s can be any combination of `Ok` or `Err`. In other words, we attempt to verify as many attestations as possible and return specific per-attestation results so peer scores can be updated, if required.

When we batch verify attestations, we first try to map all those attestations to *indexed* attestations. If any of those attestations were able to be indexed, we then perform batch BLS verification on those indexed attestations. If the batch verification succeeds, we convert them into *verified* attestations, disabling individual signature checking. If the batch fails, we convert to verified attestations with individual signature checking enabled.

Ultimately, we optimistically try to do a batch verification of attestation signatures and fall-back to individual verification if it fails. This opens an attach vector for "poisoning" the attestations and causing us to waste a batch verification. I argue that peer scoring should do a good-enough job of defending against this and the typical-case gains massively outweigh the worst-case losses.

## Additional Info

Before this PR, attestation verification took the attestations by value (instead of by reference). It turns out that this was unnecessary and, in my opinion, resulted in some undesirable ergonomics (e.g., we had to pass the attestation back in the `Err` variant to avoid clones). In this PR I've modified attestation verification so that it now takes a reference.

I refactored the `beacon_chain/tests/attestation_verification.rs` tests so they use a builder-esque "tester" struct instead of a weird macro. It made it easier for me to test individual/batch with the same set of tests and I think it was a nice tidy-up. Notably, I did this last to try and make sure my new refactors to *actual* production code would pass under the existing test suite.

44fa54004c Persist to DB after setting canonical head (#2547)
## Issue Addressed

NA

## Proposed Changes

Missed head votes on attestations is a well-known issue. The primary cause is a block getting set as the head *after* the attestation deadline.

This PR aims to shorten the overall time between "block received" and "block set as head" by:

1. Persisting the head and fork choice *after* setting the canonical head
    - Informal measurements show this takes ~200ms
 1. Pruning the op pool *after* setting the canonical head.
 1. No longer persisting the op pool to disk during `BeaconChain::fork_choice`
     - Informal measurements show this can take up to 1.2s.
     
I also add some metrics to help measure the effect of these changes.
     
Persistence changes like this run the risk of breaking assumptions downstream. However, I have considered these risks and I think we're fine here. I will describe my reasoning for each change.

## Reasoning

### Change 1:  Persisting the head and fork choice *after* setting the canonical head

For (1), although the function is called `persist_head_and_fork_choice`, it only persists:

- Fork choice
- Head tracker
- Genesis block root

Since `BeaconChain::fork_choice_internal` does not modify these values between the original time we were persisting it and the current time, I assert that the change I've made is non-substantial in terms of what ends up on-disk. There's the possibility that some *other* thread has modified fork choice in the extra time we've given it, but that's totally fine.

Since the only time we *read* those values from disk is during startup, I assert that this has no impact during runtime. 

### Change 2: Pruning the op pool after setting the canonical head

Similar to the argument above, we don't modify the op pool during `BeaconChain::fork_choice_internal` so it shouldn't matter when we prune. This change should be non-substantial.

### Change 3: No longer persisting the op pool to disk during `BeaconChain::fork_choice`

This change *is* substantial. With the proposed changes, we'll only be persisting the op pool to disk when we shut down cleanly (i.e., the `BeaconChain` gets dropped). This means we'll save disk IO and time during usual operation, but a `kill -9` or similar "crash" will probably result in an out-of-date op pool when we reboot. An out-of-date op pool can only have an impact when producing blocks or aggregate attestations/sync committees.

I think it's pretty reasonable that a crash might result in an out-of-date op pool, since:

- Crashes are fairly rare. Practically the only time I see LH suffer a full crash is when the OOM killer shows up, and that's a very serious event.
- It's generally quite rare to produce a block/aggregate immediately after a reboot. Just a few slots of runtime is probably enough to have a decent-enough op pool again.

10945e0619 Revert bad blocks on missed fork (#2529)
## Issue Addressed

Closes #2526

## Proposed Changes

If the head block fails to decode on start up, do two things:

1. Revert all blocks between the head and the most recent hard fork (to `fork_slot - 1`).
2. Reset fork choice so that it contains the new head, and all blocks back to the new head's finalized checkpoint.

## Additional Info

I tweaked some of the beacon chain test harness stuff in order to make it generic enough to test with a non-zero slot clock on start-up. In the process I consolidated all the various `new_` methods into a single generic one which will hopefully serve all future uses 🤞

ceda27371d Ensure doppelganger detects attestations in blocks (#2495)
## Issue Addressed

NA

## Proposed Changes

When testing our (not-yet-released) Doppelganger implementation, I noticed that we aren't detecting attestations included in blocks (only those on the gossip network).

This is because during [block processing](e8c0d1f19b/beacon_node/beacon_chain/src/beacon_chain.rs (L2168)) we only update the `observed_attestations` cache with each attestation, but not the `observed_attesters` cache. This is the correct behaviour when we consider the [p2p spec](https://github.com/ethereum/eth2.0-specs/blob/v1.0.1/specs/phase0/p2p-interface.md):

> [IGNORE] There has been no other valid attestation seen on an attestation subnet that has an identical attestation.data.target.epoch and participating validator index.

We're doing the right thing here and still allowing attestations on gossip that we've seen in a block. However, this doesn't work so nicely for Doppelganger.

To resolve this, I've taken the following steps:

- Add a `observed_block_attesters` cache.
- Rename `observed_attesters` to `observed_gossip_attesters`.

## TODO

- [x] Add a test to ensure a validator that's been seen in a block attestation (but not a gossip attestation) returns `true` for `BeaconChain::validator_seen_at_epoch`.
- [x] Add a test to ensure `observed_block_attesters` isn't polluted via gossip attestations and vice versa.

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

8efd9fc324 Add AttesterCache for attestation production (#2478)
## Issue Addressed

- Resolves #2169

## Proposed Changes

Adds the `AttesterCache` to allow validators to produce attestations for older slots. Presently, some arbitrary restrictions can force validators to receive an error when attesting to a slot earlier than the present one. This can cause attestation misses when there is excessive load on the validator client or time sync issues between the VC and BN.

923486f34c Use bulk verification for sync_aggregate signature (#2415)
## Proposed Changes

Add the `sync_aggregate` from `BeaconBlock` to the bulk signature verifier for blocks. This necessitates a new signature set constructor for the sync aggregate, which is different from the others due to the use of [`eth2_fast_aggregate_verify`](https://github.com/ethereum/eth2.0-specs/blob/v1.1.0-alpha.7/specs/altair/bls.md#eth2_fast_aggregate_verify) for sync aggregates, per [`process_sync_aggregate`](https://github.com/ethereum/eth2.0-specs/blob/v1.1.0-alpha.7/specs/altair/beacon-chain.md#sync-aggregate-processing). I made the choice to return an optional signature set, with `None` representing the case where the signature is valid on account of being the point at infinity (requires no further checking).

To "dogfood" the changes and prevent duplication, the consensus logic now uses the signature set approach as well whenever it is required to verify signatures (which should only be in testing AFAIK). The EF tests pass with the code as it exists currently, but failed before I adapted the `eth2_fast_aggregate_verify` changes (which is good).

As a result of this change Altair block processing should be a little faster, and importantly, we will no longer accidentally verify signatures when replaying blocks, e.g. when replaying blocks from the database.

6e3ca48cb9 Cache participating indices for Altair epoch processing (#2416)
## Issue Addressed

NA

## Proposed Changes

This PR addresses two things:

1. Allows the `ValidatorMonitor` to work with Altair states.
1. Optimizes `altair::process_epoch` (see [code](https://github.com/paulhauner/lighthouse/blob/participation-cache/consensus/state_processing/src/per_epoch_processing/altair/participation_cache.rs) for description)

## Breaking Changes

The breaking changes in this PR revolve around one premise:

*After the Altair fork, it's not longer possible (given only a `BeaconState`) to identify if a validator had *any* attestation included during some epoch. The best we can do is see if that validator made the "timely" source/target/head flags.*

Whilst this seems annoying, it's not actually too bad. Finalization is based upon "timely target" attestations, so that's really the most important thing. Although there's *some* value in knowing if a validator had *any* attestation included, it's far more important to know about "timely target" participation, since this is what affects finality and justification.

For simplicity and consistency, I've also removed the ability to determine if *any* attestation was included from metrics and API endpoints. Now, all Altair and non-Altair states will simply report on the head/target attestations.

The following section details where we've removed fields and provides replacement values.

### Breaking Changes: Prometheus Metrics

Some participation metrics have been removed and replaced. Some were removed since they are no longer relevant to Altair (e.g., total attesting balance) and others replaced with gwei values instead of pre-computed values. This provides more flexibility at display-time (e.g., Grafana).

The following metrics were added as replacements:

- `beacon_participation_prev_epoch_head_attesting_gwei_total`
- `beacon_participation_prev_epoch_target_attesting_gwei_total`
- `beacon_participation_prev_epoch_source_attesting_gwei_total`
- `beacon_participation_prev_epoch_active_gwei_total`

The following metrics were removed:

- `beacon_participation_prev_epoch_attester`
   - instead use `beacon_participation_prev_epoch_source_attesting_gwei_total / beacon_participation_prev_epoch_active_gwei_total`.
- `beacon_participation_prev_epoch_target_attester`
   - instead use `beacon_participation_prev_epoch_target_attesting_gwei_total / beacon_participation_prev_epoch_active_gwei_total`.
- `beacon_participation_prev_epoch_head_attester`
   - instead use `beacon_participation_prev_epoch_head_attesting_gwei_total / beacon_participation_prev_epoch_active_gwei_total`.

The `beacon_participation_prev_epoch_attester` endpoint has been removed. Users should instead use the pre-existing `beacon_participation_prev_epoch_target_attester`. 

### Breaking Changes: HTTP API

The `/lighthouse/validator_inclusion/{epoch}/{validator_id}` endpoint loses the following fields:

- `current_epoch_attesting_gwei` (use `current_epoch_target_attesting_gwei` instead)
- `previous_epoch_attesting_gwei` (use `previous_epoch_target_attesting_gwei` instead)

The `/lighthouse/validator_inclusion/{epoch}/{validator_id}` endpoint lose the following fields:

- `is_current_epoch_attester` (use `is_current_epoch_target_attester` instead)
- `is_previous_epoch_attester` (use `is_previous_epoch_target_attester` instead)
- `is_active_in_current_epoch` becomes `is_active_unslashed_in_current_epoch`.
- `is_active_in_previous_epoch` becomes `is_active_unslashed_in_previous_epoch`.

## Additional Info

NA

## TODO

- [x] Deal with total balances
- [x] Update validator_inclusion API
- [ ] Ensure `beacon_participation_prev_epoch_target_attester` and `beacon_participation_prev_epoch_head_attester` work before Altair

84e6d71950 Tree hash caching and optimisations for Altair (#2459)
## Proposed Changes

Remove the remaining Altair `FIXME`s from consensus land.

1. Implement tree hash caching for the participation lists. This required some light type manipulation, including removing the `TreeHash` bound from `CachedTreeHash` which was purely descriptive.
2. Plumb the proposer index through Altair attestation processing, to avoid calculating it for _every_ attestation (potentially 128ms on large networks). This duplicates some work from #2431, but with the aim of getting it in sooner, particularly for the Altair devnets.
3. Removes two FIXMEs related to `superstruct` and cloning, which are unlikely to be particularly detrimental and will be tracked here instead: https://github.com/sigp/superstruct/issues/5

## Additional Info

This is quite a heavy refactor, with pivotal types like the `BeaconState` and `BeaconBlock` changing from structs to enums. This ripples through the whole codebase with field accesses changing to methods, e.g. `state.slot` => `state.slot()`.

406e3921d9 Use forwards iterator for state root lookups (#2422)
## Issue Addressed

#2377 

## Proposed Changes

Implement the same code used for block root lookups (from #2376) to state root lookups in order to improve performance and reduce associated memory spikes (e.g. from certain HTTP API requests).

## Additional Changes

- Tests using `rev_iter_state_roots` and `rev_iter_block_roots` have been refactored to use their `forwards` versions instead.
- The `rev_iter_state_roots` and `rev_iter_block_roots` functions are now unused and have been removed.
- The `state_at_slot` function has been changed to use the `forwards` iterator.

## Additional Info

- Some tests still need to be refactored to use their `forwards_iter` versions. These tests start their iteration from a specific beacon state and thus use the `rev_iter_state_roots_from` and `rev_iter_block_roots_from` functions. If they can be refactored, those functions can also be removed.

3dc1eb5eb6 Ignore inactive validators in validator monitor (#2396)
## Proposed Changes

A user on Discord (`@ChewsMacRibs`) reported that the validator monitor was logging `WARN Attested to an incorrect head` for their validator while it was awaiting activation.

This PR modifies the monitor so that it ignores inactive validators, by the logic that they are either awaiting activation, or have already exited. Either way, there's no way for an inactive validator to have their attestations included on chain, so no need for the monitor to report on them.

## Additional Info

To reproduce the bug requires registering validator keys manually with `--validator-monitor-pubkeys`. I don't think the bug will present itself with `--validator-monitor-auto`.

d34f922c1d Add early check for RPC block relevancy (#2289)
## Issue Addressed

NA

## Proposed Changes

When observing `jemallocator` heap profiles and Grafana, it became clear that Lighthouse is spending significant RAM/CPU on processing blocks from the RPC. On investigation, it seems that we are loading the parent of the block *before* we check to see if the block is already known. This is a big waste of resources.

This PR adds an additional `check_block_relevancy` call as the first thing we do when we try to process a `SignedBeaconBlock` via the RPC (or other similar methods). Ultimately, `check_block_relevancy` will be called again later in the block processing flow. It's a very light function and I don't think trying to optimize it out is worth the risk of a bad block slipping through. 

Also adds a `New RPC block received` info log when we process a new RPC block. This seems like interesting and infrequent info.

4c7bb4984c Use the forwards iterator more often (#2376)
## Issue Addressed

NA

## Primary Change

When investigating memory usage, I noticed that retrieving a block from an early slot (e.g., slot 900) would cause a sharp increase in the memory footprint (from 400mb to 800mb+) which seemed to be ever-lasting.

After some investigation, I found that the reverse iteration from the head back to that slot was the likely culprit. To counter this, I've switched the `BeaconChain::block_root_at_slot` to use the forwards iterator, instead of the reverse one.

I also noticed that the networking stack is using `BeaconChain::root_at_slot` to check if a peer is relevant (`check_peer_relevance`). Perhaps the steep, seemingly-random-but-consistent increases in memory usage are caused by the use of this function.

Using the forwards iterator with the HTTP API alleviated the sharp increases in memory usage. It also made the response much faster (before it felt like to took 1-2s, now it feels instant).

## Additional Changes

In the process I also noticed that we have two functions for getting block roots:

- `BeaconChain::block_root_at_slot`: returns `None` for a skip slot.
- `BeaconChain::root_at_slot`: returns the previous root for a skip slot.

I unified these two functions into `block_root_at_slot` and added the `WhenSlotSkipped` enum. Now, the caller must be explicit about the skip-slot behaviour when requesting a root. 

Additionally, I replaced `vec![]` with `Vec::with_capacity` in `store::chunked_vector::range_query`. I stumbled across this whilst debugging and made this modification to see what effect it would have (not much). It seems like a decent change to keep around, but I'm not concerned either way.

Also, `BeaconChain::get_ancestor_block_root` is unused, so I got rid of it 🗑️.

## Additional Info

I haven't also done the same for state roots here. Whilst it's possible and a good idea, it's more work since the fwds iterators are presently block-roots-specific.

Whilst there's a few places a reverse iteration of state roots could be triggered (e.g., attestation production, HTTP API), they're no where near as common as the `check_peer_relevance` call. As such, I think we should get this PR merged first, then come back for the state root iters. I made an issue here https://github.com/sigp/lighthouse/issues/2377.

## Proposed Changes

Use two instances of max cover when packing attestations into blocks: one for the previous epoch, and one for the current epoch. This reduces the amount of computation done by roughly half due to the `O(n^2)` running time of max cover (`2 * (n/2)^2 = n^2/2`). This should help alleviate some load on block proposal, particularly on Prater.

e7e5878953 Avoid BeaconState clone during metrics scrape (#2298)
## Issue Addressed

Which issue # does this PR address?

## Proposed Changes

Avoids cloning the `BeaconState` each time Prometheus scrapes our metrics (generally every 5s 😱).

I think the original motivation behind this was *"don't hold the lock on the head whilst we do computation on it"*, however I think is flawed since our computation here is so small that it'll be quicker than the clone.

The primary motivation here is to maintain a small memory footprint by holding less in memory (i.e., the cloned `BeaconState`) and to avoid the fragmentation-creep that occurs when cloning the big contiguous slabs of memory in the `BeaconState`.

I also collapsed the active/slashed/withdrawn counters into a single loop to increase efficiency.

The slot during this log was 766,815 (the last slot of the epoch). I believe this is due to an off-by-one error in `observed_attesters` where we were failing to provide enough capacity to store observations from the previous, current and next epochs. See code comments for further reasoning.
