e2c0650d16 Relax late sync committee penalty (#2752)
## Issue Addressed

Getting too many peers kicked due to slightly late sync committee messages as tested on.. under-performant hardware.

## Proposed Changes

Only penalize if the message is more than one slot late. Still ignore the message-

2c4413454a Fixed Gossip Topics on Fork Boundary (#2619)
## Issue Addressed

The [p2p-interface section of the `altair` spec](https://github.com/ethereum/consensus-specs/blob/dev/specs/altair/p2p-interface.md#transitioning-the-gossip) says you should subscribe to the topics for a fork "In advance of the fork" and unsubscribe from old topics `2 Epochs` after the new fork is activated. We've chosen to subscribe to new fork topics `2 slots` before the fork is initiated.

This function is supposed to return the required fork digests at any given time but as it was currently written, it doesn't return the fork digest for a previous fork if you've switched to the current fork less than 2 epoch's ago. Also this function required modification for every new fork we add.

## Proposed Changes

Make this function fork-agnostic and correctly handle the previous fork topic digests when you've only just switched to the new fork.

88063398f6 Prevent double import of blocks (#2647)
## Issue Addressed

Resolves #2611 

## Proposed Changes

Adds a duplicate block root cache to the `BeaconProcessor`. Adds the block root to the cache before calling `process_gossip_block` and `process_rpc_block`. Since `process_rpc_block` is called only for single block lookups, we don't have to worry about batched block imports.

The block is imported from the source(gossip/rpc) that arrives first. The block that arrives second is not imported to avoid the db access issue.
There are 2 cases:
1. Block that arrives second is from rpc: In this case, we return an optimistic `BlockError::BlockIsAlreadyKnown` to sync.
2. Block that arrives second is from gossip: In this case, we only do gossip verification and forwarding but don't import the block into the the beacon chain.

## Additional info
Splits up `process_gossip_block` function to `process_gossip_unverified_block` and `process_gossip_verified_block`.

99f7a7db58 remove double backfill sync state (#2733)
## Issue Addressed
In the backfill sync the state was maintained twice, once locally and also in the globals. This makes it so that it's maintained only once.

The only behavioral change is that when backfill sync in paused, the global backfill state is updated. I asked @AgeManning about this and he deemed it a bug, so this solves it.

df40700ddd Rename eth2_libp2p to lighthouse_network (#2702)
## Description

The `eth2_libp2p` crate was originally named and designed to incorporate a simple libp2p integration into lighthouse. Since its origins the crates purpose has expanded dramatically. It now houses a lot more sophistication that is specific to lighthouse and no longer just a libp2p integration. 

As of this writing it currently houses the following high-level lighthouse-specific logic:
- Lighthouse's implementation of the eth2 RPC protocol and specific encodings/decodings
- Integration and handling of ENRs with respect to libp2p and eth2
- Lighthouse's discovery logic, its integration with discv5 and logic about searching and handling peers. 
- Lighthouse's peer manager - This is a large module handling various aspects of Lighthouse's network, such as peer scoring, handling pings and metadata, connection maintenance and recording, etc.
- Lighthouse's peer database - This is a collection of information stored for each individual peer which is specific to lighthouse. We store connection state, sync state, last seen ips and scores etc. The data stored for each peer is designed for various elements of the lighthouse code base such as syncing and the http api.
- Gossipsub scoring - This stores a collection of gossipsub 1.1 scoring mechanisms that are continuously analyssed and updated based on the ethereum 2 networks and how Lighthouse performs on these networks.
- Lighthouse specific types for managing gossipsub topics, sync status and ENR fields
- Lighthouse's network HTTP API metrics - A collection of metrics for lighthouse network monitoring
- Lighthouse's custom configuration of all networking protocols, RPC, gossipsub, discovery, identify and libp2p. 

Therefore it makes sense to rename the crate to be more akin to its current purposes, simply that it manages the majority of Lighthouse's network stack. This PR renames this crate to `lighthouse_network`

0aee7ec873 Refactor Peerdb and PeerManager (#2660)
## Proposed Changes

This is a refactor of the PeerDB and PeerManager. A number of bugs have been surfacing around the connection state of peers and their interaction with the score state. 

This refactor tightens the mutability properties of peers such that only specific modules are able to modify the state of peer information preventing inadvertant state changes that can lead to our local peer manager db being out of sync with libp2p. 

Further, the logic around connection and scoring was quite convoluted and the distinction between the PeerManager and Peerdb was not well defined. Although these issues are not fully resolved, this PR is step to cleaning up this logic. The peerdb solely manages most mutability operations of peers leaving high-order logic to the peer manager. 

A single `update_connection_state()` function has been added to the peer-db making it solely responsible for modifying the peer's connection state. The way the peer's scores can be modified have been reduced to three simple functions (`update_scores()`, `update_gossipsub_scores()` and `report_peer()`). This prevents any add-hoc modifications of scores and only natural processes of score modification is allowed which simplifies the reasoning of score and state changes.

29a8865d07 Consistent tracking of disconnected peers (#2650)
## Issue Addressed

N/A

## Proposed Changes

When peers switching to a disconnecting state, decrement the disconnected peers counter. This also downgrades some crit logs to errors. 

I've also added a re-sync point when peers get unbanned the disconnected peer count will match back to the number of disconnected peers if it has gone out of sync previously.

4c510f8f6b Add BlockTimesCache to allow additional block delay metrics (#2546)
## Issue Addressed

Closes #2528

## Proposed Changes

- Add `BlockTimesCache` to provide block timing information to `BeaconChain`. This allows additional metrics to be calculated for blocks that are set as head too late.
- Thread the `seen_timestamp` of blocks received from RPC responses (except blocks from syncing) through to the sync manager, similar to what is done for blocks from gossip.

## Additional Info

This provides the following additional metrics:
- `BEACON_BLOCK_OBSERVED_SLOT_START_DELAY_TIME`
  - The delay between the start of the slot and when the block was first observed.
- `BEACON_BLOCK_IMPORTED_OBSERVED_DELAY_TIME`
   - The delay between when the block was first observed and when the block was imported.
- `BEACON_BLOCK_HEAD_IMPORTED_DELAY_TIME`
  - The delay between when the block was imported and when the block was set as head.

The metric `BEACON_BLOCK_IMPORTED_SLOT_START_DELAY_TIME` was removed.

A log is produced when a block is set as head too late, e.g.:
```
Aug 27 03:46:39.006 DEBG Delayed head block                      set_as_head_delay: Some(21.731066ms), imported_delay: Some(119.929934ms), observed_delay: Some(3.864596988s), block_delay: 4.006257988s, slot: 1931331, proposer_index: 24294, block_root: 0x937602c89d3143afa89088a44bdf4b4d0d760dad082abacb229495c048648a9e, service: beacon

fe52322088 Implement SSZ union type (#2579)
## Issue Addressed

NA

## Proposed Changes

Implements the "union" type from the SSZ spec for `ssz`, `ssz_derive`, `tree_hash` and `tree_hash_derive` so it may be derived for `enums`:

https://github.com/ethereum/consensus-specs/blob/v1.1.0-beta.3/ssz/simple-serialize.md#union

The union type is required for the merge, since the `Transaction` type is defined as a single-variant union `Union[OpaqueTransaction]`.

### Crate Updates

This PR will (hopefully) cause CI to publish new versions for the following crates:

- `eth2_ssz_derive`: `0.2.1` -> `0.3.0`
- `eth2_ssz`: `0.3.0` -> `0.4.0`
- `eth2_ssz_types`: `0.2.0` -> `0.2.1`
- `tree_hash`: `0.3.0` -> `0.4.0`
- `tree_hash_derive`: `0.3.0` -> `0.4.0`

These these crates depend on each other, I've had to add a workspace-level `[patch]` for these crates. A follow-up PR will need to remove this patch, ones the new versions are published.

### Union Behaviors

We already had SSZ `Encode` and `TreeHash` derive for enums, however it just did a "transparent" pass-through of the inner value. Since the "union" decoding from the spec is in conflict with the transparent method, I've required that all `enum` have exactly one of the following enum-level attributes:

#### SSZ

-  `#[ssz(enum_behaviour = "union")]`
    - matches the spec used for the merge
-  `#[ssz(enum_behaviour = "transparent")]`
    - maintains existing functionality
    - not supported for `Decode` (never was)
    
#### TreeHash

-  `#[tree_hash(enum_behaviour = "union")]`
    - matches the spec used for the merge
-  `#[tree_hash(enum_behaviour = "transparent")]`
    - maintains existing functionality

This means that we can maintain the existing transparent behaviour, but all existing users will get a compile-time error until they explicitly opt-in to being transparent.

### Legacy Option Encoding

Before this PR, we already had a union-esque encoding for `Option<T>`. However, this was with the *old* SSZ spec where the union selector was 4 bytes. During merge specification, the spec was changed to use 1 byte for the selector.

Whilst the 4-byte `Option` encoding was never used in the spec, we used it in our database. Writing a migrate script for all occurrences of `Option` in the database would be painful, especially since it's used in the `CommitteeCache`. To avoid the migrate script, I added a serde-esque `#[ssz(with = "module")]` field-level attribute to `ssz_derive` so that we can opt into the 4-byte encoding on a field-by-field basis.

The `ssz::legacy::four_byte_impl!` macro allows a one-liner to define the module required for the `#[ssz(with = "module")]` for some `Option<T> where T: Encode + Decode`.

Notably, **I have removed `Encode` and `Decode` impls for `Option`**. I've done this to force a break on downstream users. Like I mentioned, `Option` isn't used in the spec so I don't think it'll be *that* annoying. I think it's nicer than quietly having two different union implementations or quietly breaking the existing `Option` impl.

### Crate Publish Ordering

I've modified the order in which CI publishes crates to ensure that we don't publish a crate without ensuring we already published a crate that it depends upon.

## TODO

- [ ] Queue a follow-up `[patch]`-removing PR.

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

NA

## Proposed Changes

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

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

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

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

### Batching Details

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

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

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

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

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

## Additional Info

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

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

9667dc2f03 Implement checkpoint sync (#2244)
## Issue Addressed

## Proposed Changes

Implement checkpoint sync for Lighthouse, enabling it to start from a weak subjectivity checkpoint.

## Additional Info

- [x] Return unavailable status for out-of-range blocks requested by peers (#2561)
- [x] Implement sync daemon for fetching historical blocks (#2561)
- [x] Verify chain hashes (either in `historical_blocks.rs` or the calling module)
- [x] Consistency check for initial block + state
- [x] Fetch the initial state and block from a beacon node HTTP endpoint
- [x] Don't crash fetching beacon states by slot from the API
- [x] Background service for state reconstruction, triggered by CLI flag or API call.

Considered out of scope for this PR:

- Drop the requirement to provide the `--checkpoint-block` (this would require some pretty heavy refactoring of block verification)

50321c6671 Updates to make crates publishable (#2472)
## Issue Addressed

Related to: #2259

Made an attempt at all the necessary updates here to publish the crates to crates.io. I incremented the minor versions on all the crates that have been previously published. We still might run into some issues as we try to publish because I'm not able to test this out but I think it's a good starting point.

## Proposed Changes

- Add description and license to `ssz_types` and `serde_util`
- rename `serde_util` to `eth2_serde_util`
- increment minor versions
- remove path dependencies
- remove patch dependencies 

## Additional Info
Crates published: 

- [x] `tree_hash` -- need to publish `tree_hash_derive` and `eth2_hashing` first
- [x] `eth2_ssz_types` -- need to publish `eth2_serde_util` first
- [x] `tree_hash_derive`
- [x] `eth2_ssz`
- [x] `eth2_ssz_derive`

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

Closes #2526

## Proposed Changes

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

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

## Additional Info

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

3fdad38eba Remove penality for duplicate attestation from same validator (#2540)
## Issue Addressed

NA

## Proposed Changes

A Discord user presented logs which indicated a drop in their peer count caused by a variety of peers sending attestations where we'd already seen an attestation for that validator. It's presently unclear how this case came about, but during our investigation I noticed that we are down-voting peers for sending such attestations.

There are three scenarios where we may receive duplicate unagg. attestations from the same validator:

1. The validator is committing a slashable offense.
2. The gossipsub message-deduping functionality is not working as expected.
3. We received the message via the HTTP prior to seeing it via gossip.

Scenario (1) would be so costly for an attacker that I don't think we need to add DoS protection for it.

Scenario (2) seems feasible. Our "seen message" caches in gossipsub might fill up/expire and let through these duplicates. There are also cases involving message ID mismatches with the other peers. In both these cases, I don't think we should be doing 1 attestation == -1 point down-voting.

Scenario (3) is not necessarily a fault of the peer and we shouldn't down-score them for it.

c0a2f501d9 Upgrade dependencies (#2513)
## Proposed Changes

* Consolidate Tokio versions: everything now uses the latest v1.10.0, no more `tokio-compat`.
* Many semver-compatible changes via `cargo update`. Notably this upgrades from the yanked v0.8.0 version of crossbeam-deque which is present in v1.5.0-rc.0
* Many semver incompatible upgrades via `cargo upgrades` and `cargo upgrade --workspace pkg_name`. Notable ommissions:
    - Prometheus, to be handled separately: https://github.com/sigp/lighthouse/issues/2485
    - `rand`, `rand_xorshift`: the libsecp256k1 package requires 0.7.x, so we'll stick with that for now
    - `ethereum-types` is pinned at 0.11.0 because that's what `web3` is using and it seems nice to have just a single version
    
## Additional Info

We still have two versions of `libp2p-core` due to `discv5` depending on the v0.29.0 release rather than `master`. AFAIK it should be OK to release in this state (cc @AgeManning )

304fb05e44 Maintain attestations that reference unknown blocks (#2319)
## Issue Addressed

#635 

## Proposed Changes
- Keep attestations that reference a block we have not seen for 30secs before being re processed
- If we do import the block before that time elapses, it is reprocessed in that moment
- The first time it fails, do nothing wrt to gossipsub propagation or peer downscoring. If after being re processed it fails, downscore with a `LowToleranceError` and ignore the message.

27aec1962c Add more detail to "Prior attestation known" log (#2447)
## Issue Addressed

NA

## Proposed Changes

Adds more detail to the log when an attestation is ignored due to a prior one being known. This will help identify which validators are causing the issue.

b4689e20c6 Altair consensus changes and refactors (#2279)
## Proposed Changes

Implement the consensus changes necessary for the upcoming Altair hard fork.

## Additional Info

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

b84ff9f793 rust 1.53.0 updates (#2411)
## Issue Addressed

`make lint` failing on rust 1.53.0.

## Proposed Changes

1.53.0 updates

## Additional Info

I haven't figure out why yet, we were now hitting the recursion limit in a few crates. So I had to add `#![recursion_limit = "256"]` in a few places

93100f221f Make less logs for attn with unknown head (#2395)
## Issue Addressed

NA

## Proposed Changes

I am starting to see a lot of slog-async overflows (i.e., too many logs) on Prater whenever we see attestations for an unknown block. Since these logs are identical (except for peer id) and we expose volume/count of these errors via `metrics::GOSSIP_ATTESTATION_ERRORS_PER_TYPE`, I took the following actions to remove them from `DEBUG` logs:

- Push the "Attestation for unknown block" log to trace.
- Add a debug log in `search_for_block`. In effect, this should serve as a de-duped version of the previous, downgraded log.

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

NA

## Proposed Changes

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

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

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

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

NA

## Primary Change

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

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

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

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

## Additional Changes

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

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

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

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

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

## Additional Info

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

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

bacc38c3da Add testing for beacon node and validator client CLI flags (#2311)
## Issue Addressed

N/A

## Proposed Changes

Add unit tests for the various CLI flags associated with the beacon node and validator client. These changes require the addition of two new flags: `dump-config` and `immediate-shutdown`.

## Additional Info

Both `dump-config` and `immediate-shutdown` are marked as hidden since they should only be used in testing and other advanced use cases.
**Note:** This requires changing `main.rs` so that the flags can adjust the program behavior as necessary.

aaa14073ff Clean up warnings (#2240)
This is a small PR that cleans up compiler warnings. 

The most controversial change is removing the `data_dir` field from the `BeaconChainBuilder`. 

It was removed because it was never read.

015ab7d0a7 Optimize validator duties (#2243)
## Issue Addressed

Closes #2052

## Proposed Changes

- Refactor the attester/proposer duties endpoints in the BN
    - Performance improvements
    - Fixes some potential inconsistencies with the dependent root fields.
    - Removes `http_api::beacon_proposer_cache` and just uses the one on the `BeaconChain` instead.
    - Move the code for the proposer/attester duties endpoints into separate files, for readability.
- Refactor the `DutiesService` in the VC
    - Required to reduce the delay on broadcasting new blocks.
    - Gets rid of the `ValidatorDuty` shim struct that came about when we adopted the standard API.
    - Separate block/attestation duty tasks so that they don't block each other when one is slow.
- In the VC, use `PublicKeyBytes` to represent validators instead of `PublicKey`. `PublicKey` is a legit crypto object whilst `PublicKeyBytes` is just a byte-array, it's much faster to clone/hash `PublicKeyBytes` and this change has had a significant impact on runtimes.
    - Unfortunately this has created lots of dust changes.
 - In the BN, store `PublicKeyBytes` in the `beacon_proposer_cache` and allow access to them. The HTTP API always sends `PublicKeyBytes` over the wire and the conversion from `PublicKey` -> `PublickeyBytes` is non-trivial, especially when queries have 100s/1000s of validators (like Pyrmont).
 - Add the `state_processing::state_advance` mod which dedups a lot of the "apply `n` skip slots to the state" code.
    - This also fixes a bug with some functions which were failing to include a state root as per [this comment](072695284f/consensus/state_processing/src/state_advance.rs (L69-L74)). I couldn't find any instance of this bug that resulted in anything more severe than keying a shuffling cache by the wrong block root.
 - Swap the VC block service to use `mpsc` from `tokio` instead of `futures`. This is consistent with the rest of the code base.
    
~~This PR *reduces* the size of the codebase 🎉~~ It *used* to reduce the size of the code base before I added more comments. 

## Observations on Prymont

- Proposer duties times down from peaks of 450ms to consistent <1ms.
- Current epoch attester duties times down from >1s peaks to a consistent 20-30ms.
- Block production down from +600ms to 100-200ms.

## Additional Info

- ~~Blocked on #2241~~
- ~~Blocked on #2234~~

## TODO

- [x] ~~Refactor this into some smaller PRs?~~ Leaving this as-is for now.
- [x] Address `per_slot_processing` roots.
- [x] Investigate slow next epoch times. Not getting added to cache on block processing?
- [x] Consider [this](072695284f/beacon_node/store/src/hot_cold_store.rs (L811-L812)) in the scenario of replacing the state roots

babd153352 Prevent adding and dialing bootnodes when discovery is disabled (#2247)
This is a small PR which prevents unwanted bootnodes from being added to the DHT and being dialed when the `--disable-discovery` flag is set. 

The main reason one would want to disable discovery is to connect to a fix set of peers. Currently, regardless of what the user does, Lighthouse will populate its DHT with previously known peers and also fill it with the spec's bootnodes. It will then dial the bootnodes that are capable of being dialed. This prevents testing with a fixed peer list.

This PR prevents these excess nodes from being added and dialed if the user has set `--disable-discovery`.

a764c3b247 Handle early blocks (#2155)
## Issue Addressed

NA

## 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.
