## Issue Addressed
https://github.com/sigp/lighthouse/issues/3091
Extends https://github.com/sigp/lighthouse/pull/3062, adding pre-bellatrix block support on blinded endpoints and allowing the normal proposal flow (local payload construction) on blinded endpoints. This resulted in better fallback logic because the VC will not have to switch endpoints on failure in the BN <> Builder API, the BN can just fallback immediately and without repeating block processing that it shouldn't need to. We can also keep VC fallback from the VC<>BN API's blinded endpoint to full endpoint.
## Proposed Changes
- Pre-bellatrix blocks on blinded endpoints
- Add a new `PayloadCache` to the execution layer
- Better fallback-from-builder logic
## Todos
- [x] Remove VC transition logic
- [x] Add logic to only enable builder flow after Merge transition finalization
- [x] Tests
- [x] Fix metrics
- [x] Rustdocs

## Issue Addressed
Resolves#3267Resolves#3156
## Proposed Changes
- Move the log for fee recipient checks from proposer cache insertion into block proposal so we are directly checking what we get from the EE
- Only log when there is a discrepancy with the local EE, not when using the builder API. In the `builder-api` branch there is an `info` log when there is a discrepancy, I think it is more likely there will be a difference in fee recipient with the builder api because proposer payments might be made via a transaction in the block. Not really sure what patterns will become commong.
- Upgrade the log from a `warn` to an `error` - not actually sure which we want, but I think this is worth an error because the local EE with default transaction ordering I think should pretty much always use the provided fee recipient
- add a `strict-fee-recipient` flag to the VC so we only sign blocks with matching fee recipients. Falls back from the builder API to the local API if there is a discrepancy .

## Issue Addressed
* #3173
## Proposed Changes
Moved all `fee_recipient_file` related logic inside the `ValidatorStore` as it makes more sense to have this all together there. I tested this with the validators I have on `mainnet-shadow-fork-5` and everything appeared to work well. Only technicality is that I can't get the method to return `401` when the authorization header is not specified (it returns `400` instead). Fixing this is probably quite difficult given that none of `warp`'s rejections have code `401`.. I don't really think this matters too much though as long as it fails.
## Issue Addressed
Lays the groundwork for builder API changes by implementing the beacon-API's new `register_validator` endpoint
## Proposed Changes
- Add a routine in the VC that runs on startup (re-try until success), once per epoch or whenever `suggested_fee_recipient` is updated, signing `ValidatorRegistrationData` and sending it to the BN.
- TODO: `gas_limit` config options https://github.com/ethereum/builder-specs/issues/17
- BN only sends VC registration data to builders on demand, but VC registration data *does update* the BN's prepare proposer cache and send an updated fcU to a local EE. This is necessary for fee recipient consistency between the blinded and full block flow in the event of fallback. Having the BN only send registration data to builders on demand gives feedback directly to the VC about relay status. Also, since the BN has no ability to sign these messages anyways (so couldn't refresh them if it wanted), and validator registration is independent of the BN head, I think this approach makes sense.
- Adds upcoming consensus spec changes for this PR https://github.com/ethereum/consensus-specs/pull/2884
- I initially applied the bit mask based on a configured application domain.. but I ended up just hard coding it here instead because that's how it's spec'd in the builder repo.
- Should application mask appear in the api?

## Proposed Changes
Add documentation for the `lighthouse db migate` command, which users will be able to use to downgrade from Lighthouse v2.3.0 on non-merge networks (mainnet & Prater).
I think it's important to get this into the live instance of the book so we can link to it from the v2.3.0 release notes.
## Issue Addressed
Web3Signer validators do not support client authentication. This means the `--tls-known-clients-file` option on Web3Signer can't be used with Lighthouse.
## Proposed Changes
Add two new fields to Web3Signer validators, `client_identity_path` and `client_identity_password`, which specify the path and password for a PKCS12 file containing a certificate and private key. If `client_identity_path` is present, use the certificate for SSL client authentication.
## Additional Info
I am successfully validating on Prater using client authentication with Web3Signer and client authentication.
## Proposed Changes
Increase the default `--slots-per-restore-point` to 8192 for a 4x reduction in freezer DB disk usage.
Existing nodes that use the previous default of 2048 will be left unchanged. Newly synced nodes (with or without checkpoint sync) will use the new 8192 default.
Long-term we could do away with the freezer DB entirely for validator-only nodes, but this change is much simpler and grants us some extra space in the short term. We can also roll it out gradually across our nodes by purging databases one by one, while keeping the Ansible config the same.
## Additional Info
We ignore a change from 2048 to 8192 if the user hasn't set the 8192 explicitly. We fire a debug log in the case where we do ignore:
```
DEBG Ignoring slots-per-restore-point config in favour of on-disk value, on_disk: 2048, config: 8192

## 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.
## 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.
## 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 🙏

## Proposed Changes
From discord, it seems like users are a bit unclear on how to run checkpoint sync if they don't have an existing synced beacon node. Adds a note on how to use infura for the checkpoint sync feature.
## Issue Addressed
Closes https://github.com/sigp/lighthouse/issues/2112
Closes https://github.com/sigp/lighthouse/issues/1861
## Proposed Changes
Collect attestations by validator index in the slasher, and use the magic of reference counting to automatically discard redundant attestations. This results in us storing only 1-2% of the attestations observed when subscribed to all subnets, which carries over to a 50-100x reduction in data stored 🎉
## Additional Info
There's some nuance to the configuration of the `slot-offset`. It has a profound effect on the effictiveness of de-duplication, see the docs added to the book for an explanation: 5442e695e5/book/src/slasher.md (slot-offset)
## Issue Addressed
No specific issue. Just some improvement in the documentation provided by the book.
## Proposed Changes
Add minimum supported version for checkpoint sync in book to make sure users who want to use this feature know they need to be using at least version 2.0.0.
## Issue Addressed
Resolves#2262
## Proposed Changes
Add a new CLI flag `--beacon-nodes-tls-certs` which allows the user to specify a path to a certificate file (or a list of files, separated by commas). The VC will then use these certificates (in addition to the existing certificates in the OS trust store) when connecting to a beacon node over HTTPS.
## Additional Info
This only supports certificates in PEM format.
## Issue Addressed
Closes#2419
## Proposed Changes
Address a long-standing issue with the import of slashing protection data where the import would fail due to the data appearing slashable w.r.t the existing database. Importing is now idempotent, and will have no issues importing data that has been handed back and forth between different validator clients, or different implementations.
The implementation works by updating the high and low watermarks if they need updating, and not attempting to check if the input is slashable w.r.t itself or the database. This is a strengthening of the minification that we started to do by default since #2380, and what Teku has been doing since the beginning.
## Additional Info
The only feature we lose by doing this is the ability to do non-minified imports of clock drifted messages (cf. Prysm on Medalla). In theory, with the previous implementation we could import all the messages in case of clock drift and be aware of the "gap" between the real present time and the messages signed in the far future. _However_ for attestations this is close to useless, as the source epoch will advance as soon as justification occurs, which will require us to make slashable attestations with respect to our bogus attestation(s). E.g. if I sign an attestation 100=>200 when the current epoch is 101, then I won't be able to vote in any epochs prior to 101 becoming justified because 101=>102, 101=>103, etc are all surrounded by 100=>200. Seeing as signing attestations gets blocked almost immediately in this case regardless of our import behaviour, there's no point trying to handle it. For blocks the situation is more hopeful due to the lack of surrounds, but losing block proposals from validators who by definition can't attest doesn't seem like an issue (the other block proposers can pick up the slack).
Currently, the beacon node has no ability to serve the HTTP API over TLS.
Adding this functionality would be helpful for certain use cases, such as when you need a validator client to connect to a backup beacon node which is outside your local network, and the use of an SSH tunnel or reverse proxy would be inappropriate.
## Proposed Changes
- Add three new CLI flags to the beacon node
- `--http-enable-tls`: enables TLS
- `--http-tls-cert`: to specify the path to the certificate file
- `--http-tls-key`: to specify the path to the key file
- Update the HTTP API to optionally use `warp`'s [`TlsServer`](https://docs.rs/warp/0.3.1/warp/struct.TlsServer.html) depending on the presence of the `--http-enable-tls` flag
- Update tests and docs
- Use a custom branch for `warp` to ensure proper error handling
## Additional Info
Serving the API over TLS should currently be considered experimental. The reason for this is that it uses code from an [unmerged PR](https://github.com/seanmonstar/warp/pull/717). This commit provides the `try_bind_with_graceful_shutdown` method to `warp`, which is helpful for controlling error flow when the TLS configuration is invalid (cert/key files don't exist, incorrect permissions, etc).
I've implemented the same code in my [branch here](https://github.com/macladson/warp/tree/tls).
Once the code has been reviewed and merged upstream into `warp`, we can remove the dependency on my branch and the feature can be considered more stable.
Currently, the private key file must not be password-protected in order to be read into Lighthouse.

[EIP-3030]: https://eips.ethereum.org/EIPS/eip-3030
[Web3Signer]: https://consensys.github.io/web3signer/web3signer-eth2.html
## Issue Addressed
Resolves#2498
## Proposed Changes
Allows the VC to call out to a [Web3Signer] remote signer to obtain signatures.
## Additional Info
### Making Signing Functions `async`
To allow remote signing, I needed to make all the signing functions `async`. This caused a bit of noise where I had to convert iterators into `for` loops.
In `duties_service.rs` there was a particularly tricky case where we couldn't hold a write-lock across an `await`, so I had to first take a read-lock, then grab a write-lock.
### Move Signing from Core Executor
Whilst implementing this feature, I noticed that we signing was happening on the core tokio executor. I suspect this was causing the executor to temporarily lock and occasionally trigger some HTTP timeouts (and potentially SQL pool timeouts, but I can't verify this). Since moving all signing into blocking tokio tasks, I noticed a distinct drop in the "atttestations_http_get" metric on a Prater node:
I think this graph indicates that freeing the core executor allows the VC to operate more smoothly.
### Refactor TaskExecutor
I noticed that the `TaskExecutor::spawn_blocking_handle` function would fail to spawn tasks if it were unable to obtain handles to some metrics (this can happen if the same metric is defined twice). It seemed that a more sensible approach would be to keep spawning tasks, but without metrics. To that end, I refactored the function so that it would still function without metrics. There are no other changes made.
## TODO
- [x] Restructure to support multiple signing methods.
- [x] Add calls to remote signer from VC.
- [x] Documentation
- [x] Test all endpoints
- [x] Test HTTPS certificate
- [x] Allow adding remote signer validators via the API
- [x] Add Altair support via [21.8.1-rc1](https://github.com/ConsenSys/web3signer/releases/tag/21.8.1-rc1)
- [x] Create issue to start using latest version of web3signer. (See #2570)
## Notes
- ~~Web3Signer doesn't yet support the Altair fork for Prater. See https://github.com/ConsenSys/web3signer/issues/423.~~
- ~~There is not yet a release of Web3Signer which supports Altair blocks. See https://github.com/ConsenSys/web3signer/issues/391.~~

## 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.

## Issue Addressed

## 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`.

This is equivalent to the `minify_synth` algorithm that I've formally verified in this repository:

Windows incompatibility.
## Proposed Changes
On windows, lighthouse needs to default to STDIN as tty doesn't exist. Also Windows uses ACLs for file permissions. So to mirror chmod 600, we will remove every entry in a file's ACL and add only a single SID that is an alias for the file owner.
Beyond that, there were several changes made to different unit tests because windows has slightly different error messages as well as frustrating nuances around killing a process :/

Tested on my Windows VM and it appears to work, also compiled & tested on Linux with these changes. Permissions look correct on both platforms now. Just waiting for my validator to activate on Prater so I can test running full validator client on windows.

## Issue Addressed
N/A
## Proposed Changes
Adds a `no-wait` flag to the validator exit command which exits right after publishing the voluntary exit to the beacon chain. It does not wait for confirmation that the exit has been included in the beacon chain. By default, the flag is false.

## Issue Addressed
None, just a very small fix of documentation
## Proposed Changes
Fixing naming of paramter listed in documentation.
## Additional Info
No changes to code, just fixing documentation
## Issue Addressed
Resolves#1944
## Proposed Changes
Adds a "graffiti" key to the `validator_definitions.yml`. Setting the key will override anything passed through the validator `--graffiti` flag.
Returns an error if the value for the graffiti key is > 32 bytes instead of silently truncating.
## Issue Addressed
- Resolves#2064
## Proposed Changes
Adds a `ValidatorMonitor` struct which provides additional logging and Grafana metrics for specific validators.
Use `lighthouse bn --validator-monitor` to automatically enable monitoring for any validator that hits the [subnet subscription](https://ethereum.github.io/eth2.0-APIs/#/Validator/prepareBeaconCommitteeSubnet) HTTP API endpoint.
Also, use `lighthouse bn --validator-monitor-pubkeys` to supply a list of validators which will always be monitored.
See the new docs included in this PR for more info.
## TODO
- [x] Track validator balance, `slashed` status, etc.
- [x] ~~Register slashings in current epoch, not offense epoch~~
- [ ] Publish Grafana dashboard, update TODO link in docs
- [x] ~~#2130 is merged into this branch, resolve that~~
## Issue Addressed
None yet reported.
## Proposed Changes
Fix the old flag in the Voluntary exits book page to use the new `--network` flag. Also fix the default value for that flag.
## Issue Addressed
NA
## 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.
## Additional Info
NA
## 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
Closes#1873
## Proposed Changes
Fixes the bug in slashing protection import (#1873) by pruning the database upon import.
Also expands the test generator to cover this case and a few others which are under discussion here:
https://ethereum-magicians.org/t/eip-3076-validator-client-interchange-format-slashing-protection/4883
## Additional Info
Depending on the outcome of the discussion on Eth Magicians, we can either wait for consensus before merging, or merge our preferred solution and patch things later.
## Issue Addressed

## Proposed Changes
Updates the validator guide to provide instructions for mainnet users.
## Additional Info
- ~~Blocked on #1751~~
## 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
NA
## 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
NA
## Proposed Changes
- Replace Zinken with Pyrmont (Zinken has been sun-setted).
- Ensure Mainnet is build in the build script.
## Additional Info
NA
## Proposed Changes
Update the slashing protection interchange format to v5 in preparation for finalisation as part of an EIP.
Also, add some more tests and update the commit hash for https://github.com/eth2-clients/slashing-protection-interchange-tests to include the new generated tests.
## Issue Addressed
Closes#1842
## Proposed Changes
Due to the lies told to us by VPS providers about what CPU features they support, we are forced to check for the availability of CPU features like ADX by just _running code and seeing if it crashes_. The prominent warning should hopefully help users who have truly incompatible CPUs work out what is going on, while not burdening users of cheap VPSs.
## Issue Addressed
- Related to #1691
## 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.
## Additional Info
TBC
## Issue Addressed
Resolve#1652
## Proposed Changes
Adds a cli option for voluntary exits. The flow is similar to prysm's where after entering the password for the validator keystore (or load password from `secrets` if present) the user is given multiple warnings about the operation being irreversible, then redirected to the docs webpage(not added yet) which explains what a voluntary exit is and the consequences of exiting and then prompted to enter a phrase from the docs webpage as a final confirmation.
Example usage
```
$ lighthouse --testnet zinken account validator exit --validator <validator-pubkey> --beacon-node http://localhost:5052
Running account manager for zinken testnet
validator-dir path: "..."
Enter the keystore password: for validator in ...
Password is correct
Publishing a voluntary exit for validator: ...
WARNING: This is an irreversible operation
WARNING: Withdrawing staked eth will not be possible until Eth1/Eth2 merge Please visit [website] to make sure you understand the implications of a voluntary exit.
Enter the phrase from the above URL to confirm the voluntary exit:
Exit my validator
Published voluntary exit for validator ...
```
## Additional info
Not sure if we should have batch exits (`--validator all`) option for exiting all the validators in the `validators` directory. I'm slightly leaning towards having only single exits but don't have a strong preference.
## 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~~.

## Proposed Changes
* Add documentation about slashing protection, including how to troubleshoot issues and move between clients.
* Add an error message if the validator client is started with 0 validators. Previously it would hit an error relating to the slashing protection database not existing, which wrongly pushed people towards using the unsafe `--init-slashing-protection` flag.
