* committee cache: prevent out-of-bounds access
In the case where we tried to access the committee of a shard that didn't have a committee in the
current epoch, we were accessing elements beyond the end of the shuffling vector and panicking! This
commit adds a check to make the failure safe and explicit.
* fix bug in get_indexed_attestation and simplify
There was a bug in our implementation of get_indexed_attestation whereby
incorrect "committee indices" were used to index into the custody bitfield. The
bug was only observable in the case where some bits of the custody bitfield were
set to 1. The implementation has been simplified to remove the bug, and a test
added.
* state_proc: workaround for compact committees bug
https://github.com/ethereum/eth2.0-specs/issues/1315
* v0.8: updates to make the EF tests pass
* Remove redundant max operation checks.
* Always supply both messages when checking attestation signatures -- allowing
verification of an attestation with no signatures.
* Swap the order of the fork and domain constant in `get_domain`, to match
the spec.
* rustfmt
* ef_tests: add new epoch processing tests
* Integrate v0.8 into master (compiles)
* Remove unused crates, fix clippy lints

* Update readme
The attestation scoring function was looking only at the previous epoch, but
should really look at whichever epoch is appropriate for a given attestation.
We also avoid including attestations that don't pay us any reward, as they
simply bloat the chain.
