## Problem this PR addresses
There's an issue where Lighthouse is banning a lot of peers due to the following sequence of events:
1. Gossip block 0xabc arrives ~200ms early
- It is propagated across the network, with respect to [`MAXIMUM_GOSSIP_CLOCK_DISPARITY`](https://github.com/ethereum/eth2.0-specs/blob/v1.0.0/specs/phase0/p2p-interface.md#why-is-there-maximum_gossip_clock_disparity-when-validating-slot-ranges-of-messages-in-gossip-subnets).
- However, it is not imported to our database since the block is early.
2. Attestations for 0xabc arrive, but the block was not imported.
- The peer that sent the attestation is down-voted.
- Each unknown-block attestation causes a score loss of 1, the peer is banned at -100.
- When the peer is on an attestation subnet there can be hundreds of attestations, so the peer is banned quickly (before the missed block can be obtained via rpc).
## Potential solutions
I can think of three solutions to this:
1. Wait for attestation-queuing (#635) to arrive and solve this.
- Easy
- Not immediate fix.
- Whilst this would work, I don't think it's a perfect solution for this particular issue, rather (3) is better.
1. Allow importing blocks with a tolerance of `MAXIMUM_GOSSIP_CLOCK_DISPARITY`.
- Easy
- ~~I have implemented this, for now.~~
1. If a block is verified for gossip propagation (i.e., signature verified) and it's within `MAXIMUM_GOSSIP_CLOCK_DISPARITY`, then queue it to be processed at the start of the appropriate slot.
- More difficult
- Feels like the best solution, I will try to implement this.
**This PR takes approach (3).**
## Changes included
- Implement the `block_delay_queue`, based upon a [`DelayQueue`](https://docs.rs/tokio-util/0.6.3/tokio_util/time/delay_queue/struct.DelayQueue.html) which can store blocks until it's time to import them.
- Add a new `DelayedImportBlock` variant to the `beacon_processor::WorkEvent` enum to handle this new event.
- In the `BeaconProcessor`, refactor a `tokio::select!` to a struct with an explicit `Stream` implementation. I experienced some issues with `tokio::select!` in the block delay queue and I also found it hard to debug. I think this explicit implementation is nicer and functionally equivalent (apart from the fact that `tokio::select!` randomly chooses futures to poll, whereas now we're deterministic).
- Add a testing framework to the `beacon_processor` module that tests this new block delay logic. I also tested a handful of other operations in the beacon processor (attns, slashings, exits) since it was super easy to copy-pasta the code from the `http_api` tester.
- To implement these tests I added the concept of an optional `work_journal_tx` to the `BeaconProcessor` which will spit out a log of events. I used this in the tests to ensure that things were happening as I expect.
- The tests are a little racey, but it's hard to avoid that when testing timing-based code. If we see CI failures I can revise. I haven't observed *any* failures due to races on my machine or on CI yet.
- To assist with testing I allowed for directly setting the time on the `ManualSlotClock`.
- I gave the `beacon_processor::Worker` a `Toolbox` for two reasons; (a) it avoids changing tons of function sigs when you want to pass a new object to the worker and (b) it seemed cute.
## Issue Addressed
- Resolves#2215
## Proposed Changes
Addresses a potential loop when the majority of peers indicate that we are contactable via an IPv6 address.
See https://github.com/sigp/discv5/pull/62 for further rationale.
## Additional Info
The alternative to this PR is to use `--disable-enr-auto-update` and then manually supply an `--enr-address` and `--enr-upd-port`. However, that requires the user to know their IP addresses in order for discovery to work properly. This might not be practical/achievable for some users, hence this hotfix.
The current implementation assumes the range offset of slots downloaded on a batch to equal zero. This conflicts with the condition to consider this chain as sync. For finalized sync, it results in one extra batch being downloaded which can't be processed.

## Proposed Changes
Add an optimization to perform `per_slot_processing` from the *leading-edge* of block processing to the *trailing-edge*. Ultimately, this allows us to import the block at slot `n` faster because we used the tail-end of slot `n - 1` to perform `per_slot_processing`.
Additionally, add a "block proposer cache" which allows us to cache the block proposer for some epoch. Since we're now doing trailing-edge `per_slot_processing`, we can prime this cache with the values for the next epoch before those blocks arrive (assuming those blocks don't have some weird forking).
There were several ancillary changes required to achieve this:
- Remove the `state_root` field of `BeaconSnapshot`, since there's no need to know it on a `pre_state` and in all other cases we can just read it from `block.state_root()`.
- This caused some "dust" changes of `snapshot.beacon_state_root` to `snapshot.beacon_state_root()`, where the `BeaconSnapshot::beacon_state_root()` func just reads the state root from the block.
- Rename `types::ShuffingId` to `AttestationShufflingId`. I originally did this because I added a `ProposerShufflingId` struct which turned out to be not so useful. I thought this new name was more descriptive so I kept it.
- Address https://github.com/ethereum/eth2.0-specs/pull/2196
- Add a debug log when we get a block with an unknown parent. There was previously no logging around this case.
- Add a function to `BeaconState` to compute all proposers for an epoch without re-computing the active indices for each slot.
## Additional Info
- ~~Blocked on #2173~~
- ~~Blocked on #2179~~ That PR was wrapped into this PR.
- There's potentially some places where we could avoid computing the proposer indices in `per_block_processing` but I haven't done this here. These would be an optimization beyond the issue at hand (improving block propagation times) and I think this PR is already doing enough. We can come back for that later.
## TODO
- [x] Tidy, improve comments.
- [x] ~~Try avoid computing proposer index in `per_block_processing`?~~

## Proposed Changes
- Updates all the dependencies mentioned in #2129, except for web3. They haven't merged their tokio 1.0 update because they are waiting on some dependencies of their own. Since we only use web3 in tests, I think updating it in a separate issue is fine. If they are able to merge soon though, I can update in this PR.
- Updates `tokio_util` to 0.6.2 and `bytes` to 1.0.1.
- We haven't made a discv5 release since merging tokio 1.0 updates so I'm using a commit rather than release atm. **Edit:** I think we should merge an update of `tokio_util` to 0.6.2 into discv5 before this release because it has panic fixes in `DelayQueue` --> PR in discv5: https://github.com/sigp/discv5/pull/58

## Proposed Changes
Fixes a bug that I missed during a review in #2163. I found this bug by observing that nodes were receiving far less attestations (~1/2 of previous).
I'm not certain on *exactly* how this mistake manifested in a reduction in attestations, but the mistake touches so much code that I think it's reasonable to declare that this it the cause of the observed issue (drop in attestations).

## Issue Addressed
The non-finality period on Pyrmont between epochs [`9114`](https://pyrmont.beaconcha.in/epoch/9114) and [`9182`](https://pyrmont.beaconcha.in/epoch/9182) was contributed to by all the `lighthouse_team` validators going down. The nodes saw excessive CPU and RAM usage, resulting in the system to kill the `lighthouse bn` process. The `Restart=on-failure` directive for `systemd` caused the process to bounce in ~10-30m intervals.
Diagnosis with `heaptrack` showed that the `BeaconChain::produce_unaggregated_attestation` function was calling `store::beacon_state::get_full_state` and sometimes resulting in a tree hash cache allocation. These allocations were approximately the size of the hosts physical memory and still allocated when `lighthouse bn` was killed by the OS.
There was no CPU analysis (e.g., `perf`), but the `BeaconChain::produce_unaggregated_attestation` is very CPU-heavy so it is reasonable to assume it is the cause of the excessive CPU usage, too.
## Proposed Changes
`BeaconChain::produce_unaggregated_attestation` has two paths:
1. Fast path: attesting to the head slot or later.
2. Slow path: attesting to a slot earlier than the head block.
Path (2) is the only path that calls `store::beacon_state::get_full_state`, therefore it is the path causing this excessive CPU/RAM usage.
This PR removes the current functionality of path (2) and replaces it with a static error (`BeaconChainError::AttestingPriorToHead`).
This change reduces the generality of `BeaconChain::produce_unaggregated_attestation` (and therefore [`/eth/v1/validator/attestation_data`](https://ethereum.github.io/eth2.0-APIs/#/Validator/produceAttestationData)), but I argue that this functionality is an edge-case and arguably a violation of the [Honest Validator spec](https://github.com/ethereum/eth2.0-specs/blob/dev/specs/phase0/validator.md).
It's possible that a validator goes back to a prior slot to "catch up" and submit some missed attestations. This change would prevent such behaviour, returning an error. My concerns with this catch-up behaviour is that it is:
- Not specified as "honest validator" attesting behaviour.
- Is behaviour that is risky for slashing (although, all validator clients *should* have slashing protection and will eventually fail if they do not).
- It disguises clock-sync issues between a BN and VC.
## Additional Info
It's likely feasible to implement path (2) if we implement some sort of caching mechanism. This would be a multi-week task and this PR gets the issue patched in the short term. I haven't created an issue to add path (2), instead I think we should implement it if we get user-demand.

## Proposed Changes
Copied from #2083, changes the config milliseconds_per_slot to seconds_per_slot to avoid errors when slot duration is not a multiple of a second.

## Proposed Changes
`tempfile` has a slightly different api that makes creating temp folders with a name prefix a chore (`tempdir::TempDir::new("toto")` => `tempfile::Builder::new().prefix("toto").tempdir()`).
So I removed temp folder name prefix where I deemed it not useful.
Otherwise, the functionality is the same.

## Proposed Changes
`@potuz` on the Eth R&D Discord observed that Lighthouse blocks on Pyrmont were always arriving at other nodes after at least 1 second. Part of this could be due to processing and slow propagation, but metrics also revealed that the Lighthouse nodes were usually taking 400-600ms to even just produce a block before broadcasting it.
I tracked the slowness down to the lack of a pre-built tree hash cache (THC) on the states being used for block production. This was due to using the head state for block production, which lacks a THC in order to keep fork choice fast (cloning a THC takes at least 30ms for 100k validators). This PR modifies block production to clone a state from the snapshot cache rather than the head, which speeds things up by 200-400ms by avoiding the tree hash cache rebuild. In practice this seems to have cut block production time down to 300ms or less. Ideally we could _remove_ the snapshot from the cache (and save the 30ms), but it is required for when we re-process the block after signing it with the validator client.
## Alternatives
I experimented with 2 alternatives to this approach, before deciding on it:
* Alternative 1: ensure the `head` has a tree hash cache. This is too slow, as it imposes a +30ms hit on fork choice, which currently takes ~5ms (with occasional spikes).
* Alternative 2: use `Arc<BeaconSnapshot>` in the snapshot cache and share snapshots between the cache and the `head`. This made fork choice blazing fast (1ms), and block production the same as in this PR, but had a negative impact on block processing which I don't think is worth it. It ended up being necessary to clone the full state from the snapshot cache during block production, imposing the +30ms penalty there _as well_ as in block production.
In contract, the approach in this PR should only impact block production, and it improves it! Yay for pareto improvements 🎉
## Additional Info
This commit (ac59dfa) is currently running on all the Lighthouse Pyrmont nodes, and I've added a dashboard to the Pyrmont grafana instance with the metrics.
In future work we should optimise the attestation packing, which consumes around 30-60ms and is now a substantial contributor to the total.

There seemed to be confusion among discord users on the eth1 fallback logging
```
WARN Error connecting to eth1 node. Trying fallback ..., endpoint: http://127.0.0.1:8545/, service: eth1_rpc

The assumption users seem to be making here is that it is trying the fallback and fallback=endpoint in the log.
This PR improves the logging to be like
```
WARN Error connecting to eth1 node endpoint, endpoint: http://127.0.0.1:8545/, action: trying fallbacks, service: eth1_rpc
```
I think this is a bit more clear that the endpoint that failed is the one in the log.

## Issue Addressed
Users are reporting errors for sending attestations to peers. If the clock sync is a little out or we receive attestations before blocks, peers are being too harshly penalized. They can get scored many times per missing block and we typically need these peers on subnets.
## Proposed Changes
This removes the penalization for missing blocks with attestations. The penalty should be handled when #635 gets built as it will allow us to group attestations per missing block and penalize once.
## Issue Addressed
Closes#2028
Replaces #2059
## Proposed Changes
If writing to the database fails while importing a block, revert fork choice to the last version stored on disk. This prevents fork choice from being ahead of the blocks on disk. Having fork choice ahead is particularly bad if it is later successfully written to disk, because it renders the database corrupt (see #2028).
## Additional Info
* This mitigation might fail if the head+fork choice haven't been persisted yet, which can only happen at first startup (see #2067)
* This relies on it being OK for the head tracker to be ahead of fork choice. I figure this is tolerable because blocks only get added to the head tracker after successfully being written on disk _and_ to fork choice, so even if fork choice reverts a little bit, when the pruning algorithm runs, those blocks will still be on disk and OK to prune. The pruning algorithm also doesn't rely on heads being unique, technically it's OK for multiple blocks from the same linear chain segment to be present in the head tracker. This begs the question of #1785 (i.e. things would be simpler with the head tracker out of the way). Alternatively, this PR could just revert the head tracker as well (I'll look into this tomorrow).
## Issue Addressed
Closes#1264
## Proposed Changes
* Milagro BLS: tweak the feature flags so that Milagro doesn't get compiled if we're using BLST. Profiling showed that it was consuming about 1 minute of CPU time out of 60 minutes of CPU time (real time ~15 mins). A 1.6% saving.
* Reduce monomorphization: compiling for 3 different `EthSpec` types causes a heck of a lot of generic functions to be instantiated (monomorphized). Removing 2 of 3 cuts the LLVM+linking step from around 250 seconds to 180 seconds, a saving of 70 seconds (real time!). This applies only to `make` and not the CI build, because we test with the minimal spec on CI.
* Update `web3` crate to v0.13. This is perhaps the most controversial change, because it requires axing some deposit contract tools from `lcli`. I suspect these tools weren't used much anyway, and could be maintained separately, but I'm also happy to revert this change. However, it does save us a lot of compile time. With #1839, we now have 3 versions of Tokio (and all of Tokio's deps). This change brings us down to 2 versions, but 1 should be achievable once web3 (and reqwest) move to Tokio 0.3.
* Remove `lcli` from the Docker image. It's a dev tool and can be built from the repo if required.

many changed files but most are renaming to align the code with the semantics of `--network`

- move `eth2_testnet_config` crate to `eth2_network_config`
- move `Eth2TestnetConfig` to `Eth2NetworkConfig`
- move `DEFAULT_HARDCODED_TESTNET` to `DEFAULT_HARDCODED_NETWORK`
- `beacon_node`s `get_eth2_testnet_config` loads the `DEFAULT_HARDCODED_NETWORK` if there is no network nor testnet provided
- `boot_node`s config loads the config same as the `beacon_node`, it was using the configuration only for preconfigured networks (That code is ~1year old so I asume it was not intended)
- removed a one year old comment stating we should try to emulate `https://github.com/eth2-clients/eth2-testnets/tree/master/nimbus/testnet1` it looks outdated (?)
- remove `lighthouse`s `load_testnet_config` in favor of `get_eth2_network_config` to centralize that logic (It had differences)

## Proposed Changes
This was mostly done to find the reason why LH was dropping peers from Nimbus. It proved to be useful so I think it's worth it. But there is also some functional stuff here
- Add metrics for rpc errors per client, error type and direction
- Add metrics for downscoring events per source type, client and penalty type
- Add metrics for gossip validation results per client for non-accepted messages
- Make the RPC handler return errors and requests/responses in the order we see them
- Allow a small burst for the Ping rate limit, from 1 every 5 seconds to 2 every 10 seconds
- Send rate limiting errors with a particular code and use that same code to identify them. I picked something different to 128 since that is most likely what other clients are using for their own errors
- Remove some unused code in the `PeerAction` and the rpc handler
- Remove the unused variant `RateLimited`. tTis was never produced directly, since the only way to get the request's protocol is via de handler. The handler upon receiving from LH a response with an error (rate limited in this case) emits this event with the missing info (It was always like this, just pointing out that we do downscore rate limiting errors regardless of the change)
Metrics for Nimbus looked like this:
Downscoring events: `increase(libp2p_peer_actions_per_client{client="Nimbus"}[5m])`
RPC Errors: `increase(libp2p_rpc_errors_per_client{client="Nimbus"}[5m])`
Unaccepted gossip message: `increase(gossipsub_unaccepted_messages_per_client{client="Nimbus"}[5m])`

## Proposed Changes
Pass blocks that fail gossip verification to the slasher. Blocks that are successfully verified are not passed immediately, but will be passed as part of full block verification.
## Issue
Some eth1 clients are missing deposit logs on mainnet for multiple reasons (not fully synced, eth1 client issues) because of which we are getting `FailedToInsertDeposit` errors.
Ideally, LH should pick up where it left off after pointing it to a nice eth1 client endpoint (which has all deposits).
However, I have seen instances where LH keeps getting `FailedToInsertDeposit` even after switching to a good endpoint. Only deleting the beacon directory (which also wipes the eth1 cache) and resyncing the eth1 caches seems to be the solution. This wouldn't be great for mainnet if you have to sync your beacon node again as well.
## Proposed Changes
Add a `--purge-eth1-db` option which just wipes the eth1 cache and doesn't touch the rest of the beacon db.
Still need to investigate if and why LH isn't picking up where it left off for the deposit logs sync, but I think it would be good to have an option to just delete eth1 caches regardless.

## Proposed Changes
- Log about eth1 whilst waiting for genesis.
- For the block and deposit caches, update them after each download instead of when *all* downloads are complete.
- This prevents the case where a single timeout error can cause us to drop *all* previously download blocks/deposits.
- Set `max_log_requests_per_update` to avoid timeouts due to very large log counts in a response.
- Set `max_blocks_per_update` to prevent a single update of the block cache to download an unreasonable number of blocks.
- This shouldn't have any affect in normal use, it's just a safe-guard against bugs.
- Increase the timeout for eth1 calls from 15s to 60s, as per @pawanjay176's experience with Infura.

Update lighthouse to version `v1.0.2`.
There are two major updates in this version:
- Updates to the task executor to tokio 0.3 and all sub-dependencies relying on core execution, including libp2p
- Update BLST
## Description
This PR updates Lighthouse to tokio 0.3. It includes a number of dependency updates and some structural changes as to how we create and spawn tasks.
This also brings with it a number of various improvements:
- Discv5 update
- Libp2p update
- Fix for recompilation issues
- Improved UPnP port mapping handling
- Futures dependency update
- Log downgrade to traces for rejecting peers when we've reached our max

## Issue Addressed
part of #1883
## Proposed Changes
Adds a new cli argument `--eth1-endpoints` that can be used instead of `--eth1-endpoint` to specify a comma-separated list of endpoints. If the first endpoint returns an error for some request the other endpoints are tried in the given order.
## Additional Info
Currently if the first endpoint fails the fallbacks are used silently (except for `try_fallback_test_endpoint` that is used in `do_update` which logs a `WARN` for each endpoint that is not reachable). A question is if we should add more logs so that the user gets warned if his main endpoint is for example just slow and sometimes hits timeouts.
## Proposed Changes
A user on Discord reported build issues when trying to compile Lighthouse checked out to a path with spaces in it. I've fixed the issue upstream in `leveldb-sys` (https://github.com/skade/leveldb-sys/pull/22), but rather than waiting for a new release of the `leveldb` crate, we can also work around the issue by disabling Snappy in LevelDB, which we weren't using anyway.
This may also have the side-effect of slightly improving compilation times, as LevelDB+Snappy was found to be a substantial contributor to build time (although I'm not sure how much was LevelDB and how much was Snappy).
## Issue Addressed
- Add metrics to keep track of peer counts by sync type
- Add metric to keep track of the number of syncing chains in range
## Proposed Changes
Plugin to the network metrics update interval and update too the counts for peers wrt to their sync status with us
## Additional Info
For the peer counts
- By the way it is implemented the numbers won't always match to the total peer count in the `libp2p` metric.
- Updating the gauge with every change is messy because it requires to be updated on connection (in the `eth2_libp2p` crate, while metrics are defined in the `network` crate) on Goodbye sent (for an `IrrelevantPeer`) either in the `beacon_processor` or the `peer_manager`, and on disconnection. Since this is not a critical metric I think counting once every second is enough. If you think more accuracy is needed we can do it too, but it would be harder to maintain)
ATM those look like this
## Issue Addressed
NA
## Proposed Changes
- Adds a HTTP server to the VC which provides Prometheus metrics.
- Moves the health metrics into the `lighthouse_metrics` crate so it can be shared between BN/VC.
- Sprinkle some metrics around the VC.
- Update the book to indicate that we now have VC metrics.
- Shifts the "waiting for genesis" logic later in the `ProductionValidatorClient::new_from_cli`
- This is worth attention during the review.
## Additional Info
- ~~`clippy` has some new lints that are failing. I'll deal with that in another PR.~~
## Issue Addressed
Two issues related to empty batches
- Chain target's was not being advanced when the batch was successful, empty and the chain didn't have an optimistic batch
- Not switching finalized chains. We now switch finalized chains requiring a minimum work first
## Issue Addressed
Resolves#1890
## Proposed Changes
Change the slasher database schema to key indexed attestations by `(target_epoch, indexed_attestation_root)` instead of just `indexed_attestation_root`. This allows more straight-forward pruning (linear scan), that is also "re-entrant". By re-entrant, we mean that a pruning pass that gets stuck because of a `MapFull` error can attempt to commit midway, and be resumed later without issue. The previous pruning strategy for indexed attestations did not have this property. There was also a flaw in the previous pruning that could leave "zombie" indexed attestations in the database (ones not referenced by any attester record), which could build up and contribute to bloat (although in practice I think they occur quite infrequently).
## Additional Info
During testing I noticed that a `MapFull` error can still occur during the commit of the transaction itself, which is irritating, but not unbearable. This PR should at least reduce the frequency with which users need to manually resize their DB, and if the `MapFull` on commit rears its ugly head too often we could use a dynamic strategy (temporarily increase the size of the map until the transaction commits).
The extra bytes for the epoch make the database a bit heavier, so the size estimate docs have been updated to reflect this. This is also a breaking schema change, so anyone using a v0 database from a few hours ago will need to drop it and update 😅
This is an implementation of a slasher that lives inside the BN and can be enabled via `lighthouse bn --slasher`.
Features included in this PR:
- [x] Detection of attester slashing conditions (double votes, surrounds existing, surrounded by existing)
- [x] Integration into Lighthouse's attestation verification flow
- [x] Detection of proposer slashing conditions
- [x] Extraction of attestations from blocks as they are verified
- [x] Compression of chunks
- [x] Configurable history length
- [x] Pruning of old attestations and blocks
- [x] More tests
Future work:
* Focus on a slice of history separate from the most recent N epochs (e.g. epochs `current - K` to `current - M`)
* Run out-of-process
* Ingest attestations from the chain without a resync

## Issue Addressed
- Resolves#1424
## Proposed Changes
Add a `GET lighthouse/staking` that returns 200 if the node is ready to stake (i.e., `--eth1` flag is present) or a 404 otherwise.
Whilst the VC is waiting for the genesis time to start (i.e., when the genesis state is known), check the `lighthouse/staking` endpoint and log an error if the node isn't configured for staking.
## Additional Info

## Issue Addressed
NA
## Proposed Changes
Adds the `--import-all-attestations` flag which tells the `network::AttestationService` to import/aggregate all attestations after verification (instead of only ones for subnets that are relevant to local validators).
This is useful for testing/debugging and also for creating back-up nodes that should be all cached up and ready for any validator.

Closes#1719
## Proposed Changes
Lift the internal `RwLock`s and `Mutex`es from the `Observed*` data structures to resolve the race conditions described in #1719.
Most of this work was done by @paulhauner on his `lift-locks` branch, I merely updated it for the current `master` and checked over it.
## Additional Info
I think it would be prudent to test this on a testnet or two before mainnet launch, just to be sure that the extra lock contention doesn't negatively impact performance.

## Proposed Changes

## Proposed Changes
- Caches later blocks than is required by `ETH1_FOLLOW_DISTANCE`.
- Adds logging to `warn` if the eth1 cache is insufficiently primed.
- Use `max_by_key` instead of `max_by` in `BeaconChain::Eth1Chain` since it's simpler.
- Rename `voting_period_start_timestamp` to `voting_target_timestamp` for accuracy.
## Additional Info
The reason for eating into the `ETH1_FOLLOW_DISTANCE` and caching blocks that are closer to the head is due to possibility for `SECONDS_PER_ETH1_BLOCK` to be incorrect (as is the case for the Pyrmont testnet on Goerli).
If `SECONDS_PER_ETH1_BLOCK` is too short, we'll skip back too far from the head and skip over blocks that would be valid [`is_candidate_block`](https://github.com/ethereum/eth2.0-specs/blob/v1.0.0/specs/phase0/validator.md#eth1-data) blocks. This was the case on the Pyrmont testnet and resulted in Lighthouse choosing blocks that were about 30 minutes older than is ideal.
## Issue Addressed
Resolves#1333
## Proposed Changes

## Issue Addressed
`BlocksByRange` requests were the main culprit of a series of timeouts to peer's requests in general because they produce build up in the router's processor. Those were moved to the blocking executor but a task is being spawned for each; also not ideal since the amount of resources we give to those is not controlled
## Proposed Changes
- Move `BlocksByRange` and `BlocksByRoots` to the `beacon_processor`. The processor crafts the responses and sends them.
- Move too the processing of `StatusMessage`s from other peers. This is a fast operation but it can also build up and won't scale if we keep it in the router (processing one at the time). These don't need to send an answer, so there is no harm in processing them "later" if that were to happen. Sending responses to status requests is still in the router, so we answer as soon as we see them.
- Some "extras" that are basically clean up:
- Split the `Worker` logic in sync methods (chain processing and rpc blocks), gossip methods (the majority of methods) and rpc methods (the new ones)
- Move the `status_message` function previously provided by the router's processor to a more central place since it is used by the router, sync, network_context and beacon_processor
- Some spelling
## Additional Info
What's left to decide/test more thoroughly is the length of the queues and the priority rules. @paulhauner suggested at some point to put status above attestations, and @AgeManning had described an importance of "protecting gossipsub" so my solution is leaving status requests in the router and RPC methods below attestations. Slashings and Exits are at the end.
## Issue Addressed
Catching up on a few eth2 spec updates:
## Proposed Changes
- adding query params to the `GET pool/attestations` endpoint
- allowing the `POST pool/attestations` endpoint to accept an array of attestations
- batching attestation submission
- moving `epoch` from a path param to a query param in the `committees` endpoint

## Proposed Changes
Removes most of the temporary string initializations in network metrics and replaces them by directly using `&str`. This further improves on PR https://github.com/sigp/lighthouse/pull/1895.
For the subnet id handling the current approach uses a build script to create a static map. This has the disadvantage that the build script hardcodes the number of subnets. If we want to use more than 64 subnets we need to adjust this in the build script.
## Additional Info
We still have some string initializations for the enum `PeerKind`. To also replace that by `&str` I created a PR in the libp2p dependency: https://github.com/sigp/rust-libp2p/pull/91. Either we wait with merging until this dependency PR is merged (and all conflicts with the newest libp2p version are resolved) or we just merge as is and I will create another PR when the dependency is ready.
## Issue Addressed

Users on Discord (and @protolambda) have experienced this error (or variants of it):
```
Failed to update eth1 cache: GetDepositLogsFailed("Eth1 node returned error: {\"code\":-32005,\"message\":\"query returned more than 10000 results\"}")
```
This PR allows users to reduce the span of blocks searched for deposit logs and therefore reduce the size of the return result. Hopefully experimentation with this flag can lead to finding a better default value.

## Proposed Changes
Stops the `BackgroupMigrator` rx channel from backing up with big `BeaconState` messages.
Looking at some logs from my Medalla node, we can see a discrepancy between the head finalized epoch and the migrator finalized epoch:
```
Nov 17 16:50:21.606 DEBG Head beacon block slot: 129214, root: 0xbc7a…0b99, finalized_epoch: 4033, finalized_root: 0xf930…6562, justified_epoch: 4035, justified_root: 0x206b…9321, service: beacon

```
I believe this indicates that the migrator rx has a backed-up queue of `MigrationNotification` items which each contain a `BeaconState`.
## TODO
- [x] Remove finalized state requirement for op-pool
## Proposed Changes
In an attempt to fix OOM issues and database consistency issues observed by some users after the introduction of compaction in v0.3.4, this PR makes the following changes:
* Run compaction less often: roughly every 1024 epochs, including after long periods of non-finality. I think the division check proposed by Paul is pretty solid, and ensures we don't miss any events where we should be compacting. LevelDB lacks an easy way to check the size of the DB, which would be another good trigger.
* Make it possible to disable the compaction on finalization using `--auto-compact-db=false`
* Make it possible to trigger a manual, single-threaded foreground compaction on start-up using `--compact-db`
* Downgrade the pruning log to `DEBUG`, as it's particularly noisy during sync
I would like to ship these changes to affected users ASAP, and will document them further in the Advanced Database section of the book if they prove effective.
## Issue Addressed
A peer might send a lot of requests that comply to the rate limit and the disconnect, this humongous pr makes sure we don't process them if the peer is not connected
This PR adds a number of improvements:
- Downgrade a warning log when we ignore blocks for gossipsub processing
- Revert a a correction to improve logging of peer score changes
- Shift syncing DB reads off the core-executor allowing parallel processing of large sync messages
- Correct the timeout logic of RPC chunk sends, giving more time before timing out RPC outbound messages.
## Issue Addressed
- RPC Errors were being logged twice: first in the peer manager and then again in the router, so leave just the peer manager's one
- The "reduce peer count" warn message gets thrown to the user for every missed chunk, so instead print it when the request times out and also do not include there info that is not relevant to the user
- The processor didn't have the service tag so add it
- Impl `KV` for status message
- Do not downscore peers if we are the ones that timed out
Other small improvements
## Issue Addressed

## Issue Addressed
#1856
## Proposed Changes
- For clarity, the router's processor now only decides if a peer is compatible and it disconnects it or sends it to sync accordingly. No logic here regarding how useful is the peer.
- Update peer_sync_info's rules
- Add an `IrrelevantPeer` sync status to account for incompatible peers (maybe this should be "IncompatiblePeer" now that I think about it?) this state is update upon receiving an internal goodbye in the peer manager
- Misc code cleanups
- Reduce the need to create `StatusMessage`s (and thus, `Arc` accesses )
- Add missing calls to update the global sync state
The overall effect should be:
- More peers recognized as Behind, and less as Unknown
- Peers identified as incompatible
## Issue Addressed
- Asymmetric pings - Currently with symmetric ping intervals, lighthouse nodes race each other to ping often ending in simultaneous ping connections. This shifts the ping interval to be asymmetric based on inbound/outbound connections
- Correct inbound/outbound peer-db registering - It appears we were accounting inbound as outbound and vice versa in the peerdb, this has been corrected
- Improved logging
There is likely more to come - I'll leave this open as we investigate further testnets
## Issue Addressed
Using `heaptrack` I could see that ~75% of Lighthouse temporary allocations are caused by temporary string allocations here.
## Proposed Changes
Reduces temporary `String` allocations when updating metrics in the `network` crate. The solution isn't perfect since we rebuild our caches with each call, but it's a significant improvement.

## Proposed Changes
Increases the target peers for a subnet, so that subnet queries are executed until we have at least the minimum required peers for a mesh (`MESH_N_LOW`). We keep the limit of `6` target peers for aggregated subnet discovery queries, therefore the size (and the time needed) for a query doesn't change.

Uses dynamic gossipsub scoring parameters depending on the number of active validators as specified in https://gist.github.com/blacktemplar/5c1862cb3f0e32a1a7fb0b25e79e6e2c.
## Additional Info
Although the parameters got tested on Medalla, extensive testing using simulations on larger networks is still to be done and we expect that we need to change the parameters, although this might only affect constants within the dynamic parameter framework.

## Issue Addressed
Closes#1866
## Proposed Changes
* Compact the database on finalization. This removes the deleted states from disk completely. Because it happens in the background migrator, it doesn't block other database operations while it runs. On my Medalla node it took about 1 minute and shrank the database from 90GB to 9GB.
* Fix an inefficiency in the pruning algorithm where it would always use the genesis checkpoint as the `old_finalized_checkpoint` when running for the first time after start-up. This would result in loading lots of states one-at-a-time back to genesis, and storing a lot of block roots in memory. The new code stores the old finalized checkpoint on disk and only uses genesis if no checkpoint is already stored. This makes it both backwards compatible _and_ forwards compatible -- no schema change required!
* Introduce two new `INFO` logs to indicate when pruning has started and completed. Users seem to want to know this information without enabling debug logs!

## Proposed Changes
Adds the following API endpoints:
- `GET lighthouse/eth1/syncing`: status about how synced we are with Eth1.
- `GET lighthouse/eth1/block_cache`: all locally cached eth1 blocks.
- `GET lighthouse/eth1/deposit_cache`: all locally cached eth1 deposits.
Additionally:
- Moves some types from the `beacon_node/eth1` to the `common/eth2` crate, so they can be used in the API without duplication.
- Allow `update_deposit_cache` and `update_block_cache` to take an optional head block number to avoid duplicate requests.

* 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).

## Issue Addressed
Further testing revealed another edge case where we attempt to unban a peer that can be in a disconnected start. Although this causes no real issue, it does log an error to the user.
This PR adds a check to prevent this edge case and prevents the error being logged to the user.
This PR prevents a user-facing error.
It prevents optimistically unbanning a peer and instead checks the state of the peer before requesting the peers state to be unbanned.
As @AgeManning mentioned the newest libp2p version had some problems and got downgraded again on lighthouse master. This is an intermediate version that makes no problems and only adds a small change of allowing only one topic per message.
## Description
This downgrades the recent libp2p upgrade.
There were issues with the RPC which prevented syncing of the chain and this upgrade needs to be further investigated.
## Overview
This updates lighthouse to discovery v5.1
Note: This makes lighthouse's discovery not compatible with any previous version. Lighthouse cannot discover peers or send/receive ENR's from any previous version. This is a breaking change.
This resolves#1605
## Description
This increases the logging of the underlying UPnP tasks to inform the user of UPnP error/success.
This also decreases the batch syncing size to two epochs per batch.
## Description
Updates to the latest libp2p and includes gossipsub updates.
Of particular note is the limitation of a single topic per gossipsub message.

## Issue Addressed
Closes#800Closes#1713
## Proposed Changes
Implement the temporary state storage algorithm described in #800. Specifically:
* Add `DBColumn::BeaconStateTemporary`, for storing 0-length temporary marker values.
* Store intermediate states immediately as they are created, marked temporary. Delete the temporary flag if the block is processed successfully.
* Add a garbage collection process to delete leftover temporary states on start-up.
* Bump the database schema version to 2 so that a DB with temporary states can't accidentally be used with older versions of the software. The auto-migration is a no-op, but puts in place some infra that we can use for future migrations (e.g. #1784)
## Additional Info
There are two known race conditions, one potentially causing permanent faults (hopefully rare), and the other insignificant.
### Race 1: Permanent state marked temporary
EDIT: this has been fixed by the addition of a lock around the relevant critical section
There are 2 threads that are trying to store 2 different blocks that share some intermediate states (e.g. they both skip some slots from the current head). Consider this sequence of events:
1. Thread 1 checks if state `s` already exists, and seeing that it doesn't, prepares an atomic commit of `(s, s_temporary_flag)`.
2. Thread 2 does the same, but also gets as far as committing the state txn, finishing the processing of its block, and _deleting_ the temporary flag.
3. Thread 1 is (finally) scheduled again, and marks `s` as temporary with its transaction.
4.
a) The process is killed, or thread 1's block fails verification and the temp flag is not deleted. This is a permanent failure! Any attempt to load state `s` will fail... hope it isn't on the main chain! Alternatively (4b) happens...
b) Thread 1 finishes, and re-deletes the temporary flag. In this case the failure is transient, state `s` will disappear temporarily, but will come back once thread 1 finishes running.
I _hope_ that steps 1-3 only happen very rarely, and 4a even more rarely. It's hard to know
This once again begs the question of why we're using LevelDB (#483), when it clearly doesn't care about atomicity! A ham-fisted fix would be to wrap the hot and cold DBs in locks, which would bring us closer to how other DBs handle read-write transactions. E.g. [LMDB only allows one R/W transaction at a time](https://docs.rs/lmdb/0.8.0/lmdb/struct.Environment.html#method.begin_rw_txn).
### Race 2: Temporary state returned from `get_state`
I don't think this race really matters, but in `load_hot_state`, if another thread stores a state between when we call `load_state_temporary_flag` and when we call `load_hot_state_summary`, then we could end up returning that state even though it's only a temporary state. I can't think of any case where this would be relevant, and I suspect if it did come up, it would be safe/recoverable (having data is safer than _not_ having data).
This could be fixed by using a LevelDB read snapshot, but that would require substantial changes to how we read all our values, so I don't think it's worth it right now.
## Issue Addressed
Potentially resolves#1647 and sync stalls.
## Proposed Changes
The handling of the state of banned peers was inadequate for the complex peerdb data structure. We store a limited number of disconnected and banned peers in the db. We were not tracking intermediate "disconnecting" states and the in some circumstances we were updating the peer state without informing the peerdb. This lead to a number of inconsistencies in the peer state.
Further, the peer manager could ban a peer changing a peer's state from being connected to banned. In this circumstance, if the peer then disconnected, we didn't inform the application layer, which lead to applications like sync not being informed of a peers disconnection. This could lead to sync stalling and having to require a lighthouse restart.
Improved handling for peer states and interactions with the peerdb is made in this PR.
## Issue Addressed
NA
## Proposed Changes
Adds a `lighthouse/beacon/states/:state_id/ssz` endpoint to allow us to pull the genesis state from the API.
## Additional Info
NA
## Issue Addressed
Closes#1769Closes#1708
## Proposed Changes
Tweaks the op pool pruning so that the attestation pool is pruned against the wall-clock epoch instead of the finalized state's epoch. This should reduce the unbounded growth that we've seen during periods without finality.
Also fixes up the voluntary exit pruning as raised in #1708.
## Issue Addressed
- Resolves#1766
## Proposed Changes
- Use the `warp::filters::cors` filter instead of our work-around.
## Additional Info
It's not trivial to enable/disable `cors` using `warp`, since using `routes.with(cors)` changes the type of `routes`. This makes it difficult to apply/not apply cors at runtime. My solution has been to *always* use the `warp::filters::cors` wrapper but when cors should be disabled, just pass the HTTP server listen address as the only permissible origin.
## Issue Addressed
`node` endpoints in #1434
## Proposed Changes
Implement these:
```
/eth/v1/node/health
/eth/v1/node/peers/{peer_id}
/eth/v1/node/peers
```
- Add an `Option<Enr>` to `PeerInfo`
- Finish implementation of `/eth/v1/node/identity`
## Additional Info
- should update the `peers` endpoints when #1764 is resolved

Closes#1548
## Proposed Changes
Optimizes attester slashing choice by choosing the ones that cover the most amount of validators slashed, with the highest effective balances
## Additional Info
Initial pass, need to write a test for it
check for advanced peers and the state of the chain wrt the clock slot to decide if a chain is or not synced /transitioning to a head sync. Also a fix that prevented getting the right state while syncing heads
## Issue Addressed
Resolves#1776
## Proposed Changes
The beacon chain builder was using the canonical head's state root for the `genesis_state_root` field.

Resolves#1792
## Proposed Changes
Use `chain.best_slot()` instead of the sync state's target slot in the `not_while_syncing_filter`

## Issue Addressed
#1614 and a couple of sync-stalling problems, the most important is a cyclic dependency between the sync manager and the peer manager
## Issue Addressed
Closes#1557
## Proposed Changes
Modify the pruning algorithm so that it mutates the head-tracker _before_ committing the database transaction to disk, and _only if_ all the heads to be removed are still present in the head-tracker (i.e. no concurrent mutations).
In the process of writing and testing this I also had to make a few other changes:
* Use internal mutability for all `BeaconChainHarness` functions (namely the RNG and the graffiti), in order to enable parallel calls (see testing section below).
* Disable logging in harness tests unless the `test_logger` feature is turned on
And chose to make some clean-ups:
* Delete the `NullMigrator`
* Remove type-based configuration for the migrator in favour of runtime config (simpler, less duplicated code)
* Use the non-blocking migrator unless the blocking migrator is required. In the store tests we need the blocking migrator because some tests make asserts about the state of the DB after the migration has run.
* Rename `validators_keypairs` -> `validator_keypairs` in the `BeaconChainHarness`
## Testing
To confirm that the fix worked, I wrote a test using [Hiatus](https://crates.io/crates/hiatus), which can be found here:
https://github.com/michaelsproul/lighthouse/tree/hiatus-issue-1557
That test can't be merged because it inserts random breakpoints everywhere, but if you check out that branch you can run the test with:
```
$ cd beacon_node/beacon_chain
$ cargo test --release --test parallel_tests --features test_logger
```
It should pass, and the log output should show:
```
WARN Pruning deferred because of a concurrent mutation, message: this is expected only very rarely!
```
## Additional Info
This is a backwards-compatible change with no impact on consensus.
## Issue Addressed
NA
## Proposed Changes
Adds a direction field to `PeerConnectionStatus` that can be accessed by calling `is_outgoing` which will return `true` iff the peer is connected and the first connection was an outgoing one.
