## 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.
## Proposed Changes
Implement the consensus changes necessary for the upcoming Altair hard fork.
## 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()`.

## Issue Addressed
Closes#2274
## Proposed Changes
* Modify the `YamlConfig` to collect unknown fields into an `extra_fields` map, instead of failing hard.
* Log a debug message if there are extra fields returned to the VC from one of its BNs.
This restores Lighthouse's compatibility with Teku beacon nodes (and therefore Infura)
## 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~~.

Update the EF test vectors to v0.12.2 so that they include the new finality tests. Also, correct a typo that caused the epoch processing final update tests not to run on the minimal spec.
## Issue Addressed
NA
## Proposed Changes
Adds additional tree hash caching for `state.eth1_data_votes`.
Presently, each time we tree hash the `BeaconState`, we recompute the `state.eth1_data_votes` tree in it's entirety. This is because we only previous had support for caching fixed-length lists.
This PR adds the `Eth1DataVotesTreeHashCache` which provides caching for the `state.eth1_data_votes` list. The cache is aware of `SLOTS_PER_ETH1_VOTING_PERIOD` and will reset itself whenever that boundary is crossed.
This cache adds a new (but somewhat fundamental) restriction to tree hash caching:
*For some state `s`, `s.tree_hash_cache` is only valid for `s` or descendants of `s` that have been reached via state transitions that are faithful to the specification (invalid blocks are permitted, as long as they are faithfully processed).*
* Update state processing for v0.12
* Fix EF test runners for v0.12
* Fix some tests
* Fix broken attestation verification test
* More test fixes
* Fix typo found in review
