## 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

## 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
This PR partially addresses #3651
## Proposed Changes
This PR adds the following containers types from [the lightclient specs](https://github.com/ethereum/consensus-specs/blob/dev/specs/altair/light-client/sync-protocol.md): `LightClientUpdate`, `LightClientFinalityUpdate`, `LightClientOptimisticUpdate` and `LightClientBootstrap`. It also implements the creation of each updates as delined by this [document](https://github.com/ethereum/consensus-specs/blob/dev/specs/altair/light-client/full-node.md).
## Additional Info
Here is a brief description of what each of these container signify:
`LightClientUpdate`: This container is only provided by server (full node) to lightclients when catching up new sync committees beetwen periods and we want possibly one lightclient update ready for each post-altair period the lighthouse node go over. it is needed in the resp/req in method `light_client_update_by_range`.
`LightClientFinalityUpdate/LightClientFinalityUpdate`: Lighthouse will need only the latest of each of this kind of updates, so no need to store them in the database, we can just store the latest one of each one in memory and then just supply them via gossip or respreq, only the latest ones are served by a full node. finality updates marks the transition to a new finalized header, while optimistic updates signify new non-finalized header which are imported optimistically.
`LightClientBootstrap`: This object is retrieved by lightclients during the bootstrap process after a finalized checkpoint is retrieved, ideally we want to store a LightClientBootstrap for each finalized root and then serve each of them by finalized root in respreq protocol id `light_client_bootstrap`.
Little digression to how we implement the creation of each updates: the creation of a optimistic/finality update is just a version of the lightclient_update creation mechanism with less fields being set, there is underlying concept of inheritance, if you look at the specs it becomes very obvious that a lightclient update is just an extension of a finality update and a finality update an extension to an optimistic update.
## Extra note
`LightClientStore` is not implemented as it is only useful as internal storage design for the lightclient side.

## Issue Addressed
This reverts commit ca9dc8e094 (PR #3559) with some modifications.
## Proposed Changes
Unfortunately that PR introduced a performance regression in fork choice. The optimisation _intended_ to build the exit and pubkey caches on the head state _only if_ they were not already built. However, due to the head state always being cloned without these caches, we ended up building them every time the head changed, leading to a ~70ms+ penalty on mainnet.
fcfd02aeec/beacon_node/beacon_chain/src/canonical_head.rs (L633-L636)
I believe this is a severe enough regression to justify immediately releasing v3.2.1 with this change.
## Additional Info
I didn't fully revert #3559, because there were some unrelated deletions of dead code in that PR which I figured we may as well keep.
An alternative would be to clone the extra caches, but this likely still imposes some cost, so in the interest of applying a conservative fix quickly, I think reversion is the best approach. The optimisation from #3559 was not even optimising a particularly significant path, it was mostly for VCs running larger numbers of inactive keys. We can re-do it in the `tree-states` world where cache clones are cheap.
