This PR adds the ability to read the Lighthouse logs from the HTTP API for both the BN and the VC.
This is done in such a way to as minimize any kind of performance hit by adding this feature.
The current design creates a tokio broadcast channel and mixes is into a form of slog drain that combines with our main global logger drain, only if the http api is enabled.
The drain gets the logs, checks the log level and drops them if they are below INFO. If they are INFO or higher, it sends them via a broadcast channel only if there are users subscribed to the HTTP API channel. If not, it drops the logs.
If there are more than one subscriber, the channel clones the log records and converts them to json in their independent HTTP API tasks.

## Issue Addressed
Closes https://github.com/sigp/lighthouse/issues/4291, part of #3613.
## Proposed Changes
- Implement the `el_offline` field on `/eth/v1/node/syncing`. We set `el_offline=true` if:
- The EL's internal status is `Offline` or `AuthFailed`, _or_
- The most recent call to `newPayload` resulted in an error (more on this in a moment).
- Use the `el_offline` field in the VC to mark nodes with offline ELs as _unsynced_. These nodes will still be used, but only after synced nodes.
- Overhaul the usage of `RequireSynced` so that `::No` is used almost everywhere. The `--allow-unsynced` flag was broken and had the opposite effect to intended, so it has been deprecated.
- Add tests for the EL being offline on the upcheck call, and being offline due to the newPayload check.
## Why track `newPayload` errors?
Tracking the EL's online/offline status is too coarse-grained to be useful in practice, because:
- If the EL is timing out to some calls, it's unlikely to timeout on the `upcheck` call, which is _just_ `eth_syncing`. Every failed call is followed by an upcheck [here](693886b941/beacon_node/execution_layer/src/engines.rs (L372-L380)), which would have the effect of masking the failure and keeping the status _online_.
- The `newPayload` call is the most likely to time out. It's the call in which ELs tend to do most of their work (often 1-2 seconds), with `forkchoiceUpdated` usually returning much faster (<50ms).
- If `newPayload` is failing consistently (e.g. timing out) then this is a good indication that either the node's EL is in trouble, or the network as a whole is. In the first case validator clients _should_ prefer other BNs if they have one available. In the second case, all of their BNs will likely report `el_offline` and they'll just have to proceed with trying to use them.
## Additional Changes
- Add utility method `ForkName::latest` which is quite convenient for test writing, but probably other things too.
- Delete some stale comments from when we used to support multiple execution nodes.
## Issue Addressed
#4233
## Proposed Changes
Remove the `best_justified_checkpoint` from the `PersistedForkChoiceStore` type as it is now unused.
Additionally, remove the `Option`'s wrapping the `justified_checkpoint` and `finalized_checkpoint` fields on `ProtoNode` which were only present to facilitate a previous migration.
Include the necessary code to facilitate the migration to a new DB schema.

## Issue Addressed
#3212
## Proposed Changes
- Introduce a new `rate_limiting_backfill_queue` - any new inbound backfill work events gets immediately sent to this FIFO queue **without any processing**
- Spawn a `backfill_scheduler` routine that pops a backfill event from the FIFO queue at specified intervals (currently halfway through a slot, or at 6s after slot start for 12s slots) and sends the event to `BeaconProcessor` via a `scheduled_backfill_work_tx` channel
- This channel gets polled last in the `InboundEvents`, and work event received is wrapped in a `InboundEvent::ScheduledBackfillWork` enum variant, which gets processed immediately or queued by the `BeaconProcessor` (existing logic applies from here)
Diagram comparing backfill processing with / without rate-limiting:
https://github.com/sigp/lighthouse/issues/3212#issuecomment-1386249922
See this comment for @paulhauner's explanation and solution: https://github.com/sigp/lighthouse/issues/3212#issuecomment-1384674956
## Additional Info
I've compared this branch (with backfill processing rate limited to to 1 and 3 batches per slot) against the latest stable version. The CPU usage during backfill sync is reduced by ~5% - 20%, more details on this page:
https://hackmd.io/@jimmygchen/SJuVpJL3j
The above testing is done on Goerli (as I don't currently have hardware for Mainnet), I'm guessing the differences are likely to be bigger on mainnet due to block size.
### TODOs
- [x] Experiment with processing multiple batches per slot. (need to think about how to do this for different slot durations)
- [x] Add option to disable rate-limiting, enabed by default.
- [x] (No longer required now we're reusing the reprocessing queue) Complete the `backfill_scheduler` task when backfill sync is completed or not required

## Proposed Changes
Sets the mainnet Capella fork epoch as per https://github.com/ethereum/consensus-specs/pull/3300
## Additional Info
I expect the `ef_tests` to fail until we get a compatible consensus spec tests release.
Currently Lighthouse will remain uncontactable if users port forward a port that is not the same as the one they are listening on.
For example, if Lighthouse runs with port 9000 TCP/UDP locally but a router is configured to pass 9010 externally to the lighthouse node on 9000, other nodes on the network will not be able to reach the lighthouse node.
This occurs because Lighthouse does not update its ENR TCP port on external socket discovery. The intention was always that users should use `--enr-tcp-port` to customise this, but this is non-intuitive.
The difficulty arises because we have no discovery mechanism to find our external TCP port. If we discovery a new external UDP port, we must guess what our external TCP port might be. This PR assumes the external TCP port is the same as the external UDP port (which may not be the case) and thus updates the TCP port along with the UDP port if the `--enr-tcp-port` flag is not set.
Along with this PR, will be added documentation to the Lighthouse book so users can correctly understand and configure their ENR to maximize Lighthouse's connectivity.
This relies on https://github.com/sigp/discv5/pull/166 and we should wait for a new release in discv5 before adding this PR.
There is a race condition which occurs when multiple discovery queries return at almost the exact same time and they independently contain a useful peer we would like to connect to.
The condition can occur that we can add the same peer to the dial queue, before we get a chance to process the queue.
This ends up displaying an error to the user:
```
ERRO Dialing an already dialing peer
```
Although this error is harmless it's not ideal.
There are two solutions to resolving this:
1. As we decide to dial the peer, we change the state in the peer-db to dialing (before we add it to the queue) which would prevent other requests from adding to the queue.
2. We prevent duplicates in the dial queue
This PR has opted for 2. because 1. will complicate the code in that we are changing states in non-intuitive places. Although this technically adds a very slight performance cost, its probably a cleaner solution as we can keep the state-changing logic in one place.
## Issue Addressed
In #4027 I forgot to add the `parent_block_number` to the payload attributes SSE.
## Proposed Changes
Compute the parent block number while computing the pre-payload attributes. Pass it on to the SSE stream.
## Additional Info
Not essential for v3.5.1 as I suspect most builders don't need the `parent_block_root`. I would like to use it for my dummy no-op builder however.
## Issue Addressed
Add support for ipv6 and dual stack in lighthouse.
## Proposed Changes
From an user perspective, now setting an ipv6 address, optionally configuring the ports should feel exactly the same as using an ipv4 address. If listening over both ipv4 and ipv6 then the user needs to:
- use the `--listen-address` two times (ipv4 and ipv6 addresses)
- `--port6` becomes then required
- `--discovery-port6` can now be used to additionally configure the ipv6 udp port
### Rough list of code changes
- Discovery:
- Table filter and ip mode set to match the listening config.
- Ipv6 address, tcp port and udp port set in the ENR builder
- Reported addresses now check which tcp port to give to libp2p
- LH Network Service:
- Can listen over Ipv6, Ipv4, or both. This uses two sockets. Using mapped addresses is disabled from libp2p and it's the most compatible option.
- NetworkGlobals:
- No longer stores udp port since was not used at all. Instead, stores the Ipv4 and Ipv6 TCP ports.
- NetworkConfig:
- Update names to make it clear that previous udp and tcp ports in ENR were Ipv4
- Add fields to configure Ipv6 udp and tcp ports in the ENR
- Include advertised enr Ipv6 address.
- Add type to model Listening address that's either Ipv4, Ipv6 or both. A listening address includes the ip, udp port and tcp port.
- UPnP:
- Kept only for ipv4
- Cli flags:
- `--listen-addresses` now can take up to two values
- `--port` will apply to ipv4 or ipv6 if only one listening address is given. If two listening addresses are given it will apply only to Ipv4.
- `--port6` New flag required when listening over ipv4 and ipv6 that applies exclusively to Ipv6.
- `--discovery-port` will now apply to ipv4 and ipv6 if only one listening address is given.
- `--discovery-port6` New flag to configure the individual udp port of ipv6 if listening over both ipv4 and ipv6.
- `--enr-udp-port` Updated docs to specify that it only applies to ipv4. This is an old behaviour.
- `--enr-udp6-port` Added to configure the enr udp6 field.
- `--enr-tcp-port` Updated docs to specify that it only applies to ipv4. This is an old behaviour.
- `--enr-tcp6-port` Added to configure the enr tcp6 field.
- `--enr-addresses` now can take two values.
- `--enr-match` updated behaviour.
- Common:
- rename `unused_port` functions to specify that they are over ipv4.
- add functions to get unused ports over ipv6.
- Testing binaries
- Updated code to reflect network config changes and unused_port changes.
## Additional Info
TODOs:
- use two sockets in discovery. I'll get back to this and it's on https://github.com/sigp/discv5/pull/160
- lcli allow listening over two sockets in generate_bootnodes_enr
- add at least one smoke flag for ipv6 (I have tested this and works for me)
- update the book
## Proposed Changes
Two tiny updates to satisfy Clippy 1.68
Plus refactoring of the `http_api` into less complex types so the compiler can chew and digest them more easily.

## Issue Addressed
Closes#3896Closes#3998Closes#3700
## Proposed Changes
- Optimise the calculation of withdrawals for payload attributes by avoiding state clones, avoiding unnecessary state advances and reading from the snapshot cache if possible.
- Use the execution layer's payload attributes cache to avoid re-calculating payload attributes. I actually implemented a new LRU cache just for withdrawals but it had the exact same key and most of the same data as the existing payload attributes cache, so I deleted it.
- Add a new SSE event that fires when payloadAttributes are calculated. This is useful for block builders, a la https://github.com/ethereum/beacon-APIs/issues/244.
- Add a new CLI flag `--always-prepare-payload` which forces payload attributes to be sent with every fcU regardless of connected proposers. This is intended for use by builders/relays.
For maximum effect, the flags I've been using to run Lighthouse in "payload builder mode" are:
```
--always-prepare-payload \
--prepare-payload-lookahead 12000 \
--suggested-fee-recipient 0x0000000000000000000000000000000000000000
```
The fee recipient is required so Lighthouse has something to pack in the payload attributes (it can be ignored by the builder). The lookahead causes fcU to be sent at the start of every slot rather than at 8s. As usual, fcU will also be sent after each change of head block. I think this combination is sufficient for builders to build on all viable heads. Often there will be two fcU (and two payload attributes) sent for the same slot: one sent at the start of the slot with the head from `n - 1` as the parent, and one sent after the block arrives with `n` as the parent.
Example usage of the new event stream:
```bash
curl -N "http://localhost:5052/eth/v1/events?topics=payload_attributes"
```
## Additional Info
- [x] Tests added by updating the proposer re-org tests. This has the benefit of testing the proposer re-org code paths with withdrawals too, confirming that the new changes don't interact poorly.
- [ ] Benchmarking with `blockdreamer` on devnet-7 showed promising results but I'm yet to do a comparison to `unstable`.

## Proposed Changes
Remove built-in support for Ropsten and Kiln via the `--network` flag. Both testnets are long dead and deprecated.

## Issue Addressed
Cleans up all the remnants of 4844 in capella. This makes sure when 4844 is reviewed there is nothing we are missing because it got included here
## Proposed Changes
drop a bomb on every 4844 thing
## Additional Info
Merge process I did (locally) is as follows:
- squash merge to produce one commit
- in new branch off unstable with the squashed commit create a `git revert HEAD` commit
- merge that new branch onto 4844 with `--strategy ours`
- compare local 4844 to remote 4844 and make sure the diff is empty
- enjoy

## Additional Info
- [ ] Requires further testing
## Issue Addressed
I discovered this issue while implementing [this test](https://github.com/jimmygchen/lighthouse/blob/test-example/beacon_node/network/src/beacon_processor/tests.rs#L895), where I tried to manipulate the slot clock with:
`rig.chain.slot_clock.set_current_time(duration);`
however the change doesn't get reflected in the `slot_clock` in `ReprocessQueue`, and I realised `slot_clock` was cloned a few times in the code, and therefore changing the time in `rig.chain.slot_clock` doesn't have any effect in `ReprocessQueue`.
I've incorporated the suggestion from the @paulhauner and @michaelsproul - wrapping the `ManualSlotClock.current_time` (`RwLock<Duration>)` in an `Arc`, and the above test now passes.
Let's see if this breaks any existing tests :)
On heavily crowded networks, we are seeing many attempted connections to our node every second.
Often these connections come from peers that have just been disconnected. This can be for a number of reasons including:
- We have deemed them to be not as useful as other peers
- They have performed poorly
- They have dropped the connection with us
- The connection was spontaneously lost
- They were randomly removed because we have too many peers
In all of these cases, if we have reached or exceeded our target peer limit, there is no desire to accept new connections immediately after the disconnect from these peers. In fact, it often costs us resources to handle the established connections and defeats some of the logic of dropping them in the first place.
This PR adds a timeout, that prevents recently disconnected peers from reconnecting to us.
Technically we implement a ban at the swarm layer to prevent immediate re connections for at least 10 minutes. I decided to keep this light, and use a time-based LRUCache which only gets updated during the peer manager heartbeat to prevent added stress of polling a delay map for what could be a large number of peers.
This cache is bounded in time. An extra space bound could be added should people consider this a risk.

## Proposed Changes
Clippy 1.67.0 put us on blast for the size of some of our errors, most of them written by me ( 👀 ). This PR shrinks the size of `BeaconChainError` by dropping some extraneous info and boxing an inner error which should only occur infrequently anyway.
For the `AttestationSlashInfo` and `BlockSlashInfo` I opted to ignore the lint as they are always used in a `Result<A, Info>` where `A` is a similar size. This means they don't bloat the size of the `Result`, so it's a bit annoying for Clippy to report this as an issue.
I also chose to ignore `clippy::uninlined-format-args` because I think the benefit-to-churn ratio is too low. E.g. sometimes we have long identifiers in `format!` args and IMO the non-inlined form is easier to read:
```rust
// I prefer this...
format!(
"{} did {} to {}",
REALLY_LONG_CONSTANT_NAME,
ANOTHER_REALLY_LONG_CONSTANT_NAME,
regular_long_identifier_name
);
// To this
format!("{REALLY_LONG_CONSTANT_NAME} did {ANOTHER_REALLY_LONG_CONSTANT_NAME} to {regular_long_identifier_name}");
```
I tried generating an automatic diff with `cargo clippy --fix` but it came out at:
```
250 files changed, 1209 insertions(+), 1469 deletions(-)
```
Which seems like a bad idea when we'd have to back-merge it to `capella` and `eip4844` 😱

## Issue Addressed
Recent discussions with other client devs about optimistic sync have revealed a conceptual issue with the optimisation implemented in #3738. In designing that feature I failed to consider that the execution node checks the `blockHash` of the execution payload before responding with `SYNCING`, and that omitting this check entirely results in a degradation of the full node's validation. A node omitting the `blockHash` checks could be tricked by a supermajority of validators into following an invalid chain, something which is ordinarily impossible.
## Proposed Changes
I've added verification of the `payload.block_hash` in Lighthouse. In case of failure we log a warning and fall back to verifying the payload with the execution client.
I've used our existing dependency on `ethers_core` for RLP support, and a new dependency on Parity's `triehash` crate for the Merkle patricia trie. Although the `triehash` crate is currently unmaintained it seems like our best option at the moment (it is also used by Reth, and requires vastly less boilerplate than Parity's generic `trie-root` library).
Block hash verification is pretty quick, about 500us per block on my machine (mainnet).
The optimistic finalized sync feature can be disabled using `--disable-optimistic-finalized-sync` which forces full verification with the EL.
## Additional Info
This PR also introduces a new dependency on our [`metastruct`](https://github.com/sigp/metastruct) library, which was perfectly suited to the RLP serialization method. There will likely be changes as `metastruct` grows, but I think this is a good way to start dogfooding it.
I took inspiration from some Parity and Reth code while writing this, and have preserved the relevant license headers on the files containing code that was copied and modified.
## Proposed Changes
Update the Gnosis chain bootnodes. The current list of Gnosis bootnodes were abandoned at some point before the Gnosis merge and are now failing to bootstrap peers. There's a workaround list of bootnodes here: https://docs.gnosischain.com/updates/20221208-temporary-bootnodes
The list from this PR represents the long-term bootnodes run by the Gnosis team. We will also try to set up SigP bootnodes for Gnosis chain at some point.
## Proposed Changes
With proposer boosting implemented (#2822) we have an opportunity to re-org out late blocks.
This PR adds three flags to the BN to control this behaviour:
* `--disable-proposer-reorgs`: turn aggressive re-orging off (it's on by default).
* `--proposer-reorg-threshold N`: attempt to orphan blocks with less than N% of the committee vote. If this parameter isn't set then N defaults to 20% when the feature is enabled.
* `--proposer-reorg-epochs-since-finalization N`: only attempt to re-org late blocks when the number of epochs since finalization is less than or equal to N. The default is 2 epochs, meaning re-orgs will only be attempted when the chain is finalizing optimally.
For safety Lighthouse will only attempt a re-org under very specific conditions:
1. The block being proposed is 1 slot after the canonical head, and the canonical head is 1 slot after its parent. i.e. at slot `n + 1` rather than building on the block from slot `n` we build on the block from slot `n - 1`.
2. The current canonical head received less than N% of the committee vote. N should be set depending on the proposer boost fraction itself, the fraction of the network that is believed to be applying it, and the size of the largest entity that could be hoarding votes.
3. The current canonical head arrived after the attestation deadline from our perspective. This condition was only added to support suppression of forkchoiceUpdated messages, but makes intuitive sense.
4. The block is being proposed in the first 2 seconds of the slot. This gives it time to propagate and receive the proposer boost.

## Summary
The deposit cache now has the ability to finalize deposits. This will cause it to drop unneeded deposit logs and hashes in the deposit Merkle tree that are no longer required to construct deposit proofs. The cache is finalized whenever the latest finalized checkpoint has a new `Eth1Data` with all deposits imported.
This has three benefits:
1. Improves the speed of constructing Merkle proofs for deposits as we can just replay deposits since the last finalized checkpoint instead of all historical deposits when re-constructing the Merkle tree.
2. Significantly faster weak subjectivity sync as the deposit cache can be transferred to the newly syncing node in compressed form. The Merkle tree that stores `N` finalized deposits requires a maximum of `log2(N)` hashes. The newly syncing node then only needs to download deposits since the last finalized checkpoint to have a full tree.
3. Future proofing in preparation for [EIP-4444](https://eips.ethereum.org/EIPS/eip-4444) as execution nodes will no longer be required to store logs permanently so we won't always have all historical logs available to us.
## More Details
Image to illustrate how the deposit contract merkle tree evolves and finalizes along with the resulting `DepositTreeSnapshot`
## Other Considerations
I've changed the structure of the `SszDepositCache` so once you load & save your database from this version of lighthouse, you will no longer be able to load it from older versions.

## Issue Addressed
Updates discv5
Pending on
- [x] #3547
- [x] Alex upgrades his deps
## Proposed Changes
updates discv5 and the enr crate. The only relevant change would be some clear indications of ipv4 usage in lighthouse
## Additional Info
Functionally, this should be equivalent to the prev version.

## Proposed Changes
With https://github.com/sigp/lighthouse/pull/3214 we made it such that you can either have 1 auth endpoint or multiple non auth endpoints. Now that we are post merge on all networks (testnets and mainnet), we cannot progress a chain without a dedicated auth execution layer connection so there is no point in having a non-auth eth1-endpoint for syncing deposit cache.
This code removes all fallback related code in the eth1 service. We still keep the single non-auth endpoint since it's useful for testing.
## Additional Info
This removes all eth1 fallback related metrics that were relevant for the monitoring service, so we might need to change the api upstream.
## Issue Addressed
NA
## Proposed Changes
Fixes an issue introduced in #3574 where I erroneously assumed that a `crossbeam_channel` multiple receiver queue was a *broadcast* queue. This is incorrect, each message will be received by *only one* receiver. The effect of this mistake is these logs:
```

## Issue Addressed
https://github.com/ethereum/beacon-APIs/pull/222
## Proposed Changes
Update Lighthouse's randao verification API to match the `beacon-APIs` spec. We implemented the API before spec stabilisation, and it changed slightly in the course of review.
Rather than a flag `verify_randao` taking a boolean value, the new API uses a `skip_randao_verification` flag which takes no argument. The new spec also requires the randao reveal to be present and equal to the point-at-infinity when `skip_randao_verification` is set.
I've also updated the `POST /lighthouse/analysis/block_rewards` API to take blinded blocks as input, as the execution payload is irrelevant and we may want to assess blocks produced by builders.
## Additional Info
This is technically a breaking change, but seeing as I suspect I'm the only one using these parameters/APIs, I think we're OK to include this in a patch release.
## Issue Addressed
#3285
## Proposed Changes
Adds support for specifying histogram with buckets and adds new metric buckets for metrics mentioned in issue.
## Additional Info
Need some help for the buckets.

## Issue Addressed
Closes#3514
## Proposed Changes
- Change default monitoring endpoint frequency to 120 seconds to fit with 30k requests/month limit.
- Allow configuration of the monitoring endpoint frequency using `--monitoring-endpoint-frequency N` where `N` is a value in seconds.
## Issue Addressed
[Have --checkpoint-sync-url timeout](https://github.com/sigp/lighthouse/issues/3478)
## Proposed Changes
I added a parameter for `get_bytes_opt_accept_header<U: IntoUrl>` which accept a timeout duration, and modified the body of `get_beacon_blocks_ssz` and `get_debug_beacon_states_ssz` to pass corresponding timeout durations.
## Issue Addressed
We currently subscribe to attestation subnets as soon as the subscription arrives (one epoch in advance), this makes it so that subscriptions for future slots are scheduled instead of done immediately.
## Proposed Changes
- Schedule subscriptions to subnets for future slots.
- Finish removing hashmap_delay, in favor of [delay_map](https://github.com/AgeManning/delay_map). This was the only remaining service to do this.
- Subscriptions for past slots are rejected, before we would subscribe for one slot.
- Add a new test for subscriptions that are not consecutive.
## Additional Info
This is also an effort in making the code easier to understand
## Issue Addressed
NA
## Proposed Changes
As we've seen on Prater, there seems to be a correlation between these messages
```
WARN Not enough time for a discovery search subnet_id: ExactSubnet { subnet_id: SubnetId(19), slot: Slot(3742336) }, service: attestation_service
```
... and nodes falling 20-30 slots behind the head for short periods. These nodes are running ~20k Prater validators.
After running some metrics, I can see that the `network_recv` channel is processing ~250k `AttestationSubscribe` messages per minute. It occurred to me that perhaps the `AttestationSubscribe` messages are "washing out" the `SendRequest` and `SendResponse` messages. In this PR I separate the `AttestationSubscribe` and `SyncCommitteeSubscribe` messages into their own queue so the `tokio::select!` in the `NetworkService` can still process the other messages in the `network_recv` channel without necessarily having to clear all the subscription messages first.
~~I've also added filter to the HTTP API to prevent duplicate subscriptions going to the network service.~~
## Additional Info
- Currently being tested on Prater
