`Epoch::end_slot()` returns incorrect value when the epoch is the last epoch which can be represented by u64.
```rust
let slots_per_epoch = 32;
// The last epoch which can be represented by u64.
let epoch = Epoch::new(u64::max_value() / slots_per_epoch);
println!("{}", epoch.end_slot(slots_per_epoch));
// Slot(18446744073709551614)
// -> correctly, the result should be `Slot(18446744073709551615)`.

The Fork is required for VC to perform signing. Currently, it is not guaranteed that the Fork has been obtained at the point of the signing as the Fork is obtained at after ForkService starts. We will see the [error](851a4dca3c/validator_client/src/validator_store.rs (L127)) if VC could not perform the signing due to the timing issue.
> Unable to get Fork for signing
## Proposed Changes
Obtain the Fork on `init_from_beacon_node` to fix the timing issue.

Fixes#2141
Remove [tempdir](https://docs.rs/tempdir/0.3.7/tempdir/) in favor of [tempfile](https://docs.rs/tempfile/3.1.0/tempfile/).
## Proposed Changes
`tempfile` has a slightly different api that makes creating temp folders with a name prefix a chore (`tempdir::TempDir::new("toto")` => `tempfile::Builder::new().prefix("toto").tempdir()`).
So I removed temp folder name prefix where I deemed it not useful.
Otherwise, the functionality is the same.

Fixes#2118
## Proposed Changes
Removes the default value in clap for `--beacon-nodes`.
This was causing issues with cli picking `--beacon-nodes` default even when not specified and overriding `--beacon-node`.
Seems like it was more evident with docker setups because it doesn't use the default `http://localhost:5052` option.
Edit: we already set the default to `http://localhost:5052` here so this shouldn't break any existing setups.

## Issue Addressed

## Proposed Changes
Update the slasher schema version to v2 for the breaking changes to the config introduced in #2079. Implement a migration from v1 to v2 so that users can seamlessly upgrade from any version of Lighthouse <=1.0.5.
Users who deleted their database for v1.0.5 can upgrade to a release including this patch without any manual intervention. Similarly, any users still on v1.0.4 or earlier can now upgrade without having to drop their database.
## Proposed Changes
<!-- Please list or describe the changes introduced by this PR. -->
Tweaked the error message for ease of investigation as `Failed to update eth1 cache` is used in multiple places. 😃
## Proposed Changes
This quiets the slasher logs when ingesting slashings that are already known. Previously we would log an `ERRO` when a slashing was rediscovered locally but had already been submitted on-chain. This is to be expected from time to time, as different users' slashers will run at different times, and it's likely that slashings will make it on-chain before all users have detected them locally.
This is a little bit of a tip-of-the-iceberg PR. It houses a lot of code changes in the libp2p dependency.
This needs a bit of thorough testing before merging.
The primary code changes are:
- General libp2p dependency update
- Gossipsub refactor to shift compression into gossipsub providing performance improvements and improved API for handling compression

## Proposed Changes
- Whenever a tag is pushed with the prefix `v` this workflow is triggered
- creates portable and non-portable binaries for linux x86_64, linux aarch64, macOS
- an attempt at using github actions caching
- signs each binary using GPG
- auto-generates full changelog based on commit messages since the last release
- creates a **draft** release
- hot new formatting (preview [here](https://github.com/realbigsean/lighthouse/releases/tag/v0.9.23))
- has been taking around 35 minutes
## Additional Info
TODOs:
- Figure out how we should automate dockerhub's version tag.
- It'd be quickest just to tag `latest`, but we'd need to make sure the docker workflow completes before this starts
- we do the same cross-compile in the `docker` workflow, we could try to use the same binary
- integrate a similar flow for unstable binaries (`-rc` tag?)
- improve caching, potentially use sccache
- if we start using a self-hosted runner this'll require some re-working
Need to add the following secrets to Github:
- `GPG_PASSPHRASE`
- ~~`GPG_PUBLIC_KEY`~~ hard-coded this, because it was tough manage as a secret
- `GPG_SIGNING_KEY`

## Proposed Changes
`@potuz` on the Eth R&D Discord observed that Lighthouse blocks on Pyrmont were always arriving at other nodes after at least 1 second. Part of this could be due to processing and slow propagation, but metrics also revealed that the Lighthouse nodes were usually taking 400-600ms to even just produce a block before broadcasting it.
I tracked the slowness down to the lack of a pre-built tree hash cache (THC) on the states being used for block production. This was due to using the head state for block production, which lacks a THC in order to keep fork choice fast (cloning a THC takes at least 30ms for 100k validators). This PR modifies block production to clone a state from the snapshot cache rather than the head, which speeds things up by 200-400ms by avoiding the tree hash cache rebuild. In practice this seems to have cut block production time down to 300ms or less. Ideally we could _remove_ the snapshot from the cache (and save the 30ms), but it is required for when we re-process the block after signing it with the validator client.
## Alternatives
I experimented with 2 alternatives to this approach, before deciding on it:
* Alternative 1: ensure the `head` has a tree hash cache. This is too slow, as it imposes a +30ms hit on fork choice, which currently takes ~5ms (with occasional spikes).
* Alternative 2: use `Arc<BeaconSnapshot>` in the snapshot cache and share snapshots between the cache and the `head`. This made fork choice blazing fast (1ms), and block production the same as in this PR, but had a negative impact on block processing which I don't think is worth it. It ended up being necessary to clone the full state from the snapshot cache during block production, imposing the +30ms penalty there _as well_ as in block production.
In contract, the approach in this PR should only impact block production, and it improves it! Yay for pareto improvements 🎉
## Additional Info
This commit (ac59dfa) is currently running on all the Lighthouse Pyrmont nodes, and I've added a dashboard to the Pyrmont grafana instance with the metrics.
In future work we should optimise the attestation packing, which consumes around 30-60ms and is now a substantial contributor to the total.

## Proposed Changes
Add some caching to the test suite and to the aarch64 cross-compile in the docker build.
## Additional Info
Cache hits only occur if the Cargo.lock file is unchanged, Github Actions runner OS matches, and the cache is "in scope". Some documentation on github actions cache scoping is here:
https://docs.github.com/en/free-pro-team@latest/actions/guides/caching-dependencies-to-speed-up-workflows#matching-a-cache-key
I'm not sure how frequently we'll get cache hits, I imagine only on smaller PR's or updates to the same PR. And there is a cache size limit that we may end up reaching quickly. But Github actions handles evictions if we go over that limit.
Not sure how much of an impact this will end up having but I don't really see a downside to trying it out.

## Issue Addressed
Closes#2048
## Proposed Changes
* Broadcast slashings when the `--slasher-broadcast` flag is provided.
* In the process of implementing this I refactored the slasher service into its own crate so that it could access the network code without creating a circular dependency. I moved the responsibility for putting slashings into the op pool into the service as well, as it makes sense for it to handle the whole slashing lifecycle.

There seemed to be confusion among discord users on the eth1 fallback logging
```
WARN Error connecting to eth1 node. Trying fallback ..., endpoint: http://127.0.0.1:8545/, service: eth1_rpc
```
The assumption users seem to be making here is that it is trying the fallback and fallback=endpoint in the log.
This PR improves the logging to be like
```
WARN Error connecting to eth1 node endpoint, endpoint: http://127.0.0.1:8545/, action: trying fallbacks, service: eth1_rpc
```
I think this is a bit more clear that the endpoint that failed is the one in the log.

## Issue Addressed
Users are reporting errors for sending attestations to peers. If the clock sync is a little out or we receive attestations before blocks, peers are being too harshly penalized. They can get scored many times per missing block and we typically need these peers on subnets.
## Proposed Changes
This removes the penalization for missing blocks with attestations. The penalty should be handled when #635 gets built as it will allow us to group attestations per missing block and penalize once.

## Additional Info
- for ARM64, first `cross` is used to cross compile the `lighthouse` and `lcli` binaries, then `docker buildx` is installed to actually build the docker image for the correct target platform. The image build pretty much just copies the binaries from local into the docker image (thanks @michaelsproul :) )
- The AMD64 and ARM64 builds run in parallel, in total it's been taking around 45mins on a local runner
- This PR does **not** cover version tags on docker images at the moment

## Issue Addressed
Closes#2028
Replaces #2059
## Proposed Changes
If writing to the database fails while importing a block, revert fork choice to the last version stored on disk. This prevents fork choice from being ahead of the blocks on disk. Having fork choice ahead is particularly bad if it is later successfully written to disk, because it renders the database corrupt (see #2028).
## Additional Info
* This mitigation might fail if the head+fork choice haven't been persisted yet, which can only happen at first startup (see #2067)
* This relies on it being OK for the head tracker to be ahead of fork choice. I figure this is tolerable because blocks only get added to the head tracker after successfully being written on disk _and_ to fork choice, so even if fork choice reverts a little bit, when the pruning algorithm runs, those blocks will still be on disk and OK to prune. The pruning algorithm also doesn't rely on heads being unique, technically it's OK for multiple blocks from the same linear chain segment to be present in the head tracker. This begs the question of #1785 (i.e. things would be simpler with the head tracker out of the way). Alternatively, this PR could just revert the head tracker as well (I'll look into this tomorrow).
## Issue Addressed
Closes#1264
## Proposed Changes
* Milagro BLS: tweak the feature flags so that Milagro doesn't get compiled if we're using BLST. Profiling showed that it was consuming about 1 minute of CPU time out of 60 minutes of CPU time (real time ~15 mins). A 1.6% saving.
* Reduce monomorphization: compiling for 3 different `EthSpec` types causes a heck of a lot of generic functions to be instantiated (monomorphized). Removing 2 of 3 cuts the LLVM+linking step from around 250 seconds to 180 seconds, a saving of 70 seconds (real time!). This applies only to `make` and not the CI build, because we test with the minimal spec on CI.
* Update `web3` crate to v0.13. This is perhaps the most controversial change, because it requires axing some deposit contract tools from `lcli`. I suspect these tools weren't used much anyway, and could be maintained separately, but I'm also happy to revert this change. However, it does save us a lot of compile time. With #1839, we now have 3 versions of Tokio (and all of Tokio's deps). This change brings us down to 2 versions, but 1 should be achievable once web3 (and reqwest) move to Tokio 0.3.
* Remove `lcli` from the Docker image. It's a dev tool and can be built from the repo if required.

#1992 and #1987, and also to be considered a continuation of #1751

many changed files but most are renaming to align the code with the semantics of `--network`
- remove the `--network` default value (in clap) and instead set it after checking the `network` and `testnet-dir` flags
- move `eth2_testnet_config` crate to `eth2_network_config`
- move `Eth2TestnetConfig` to `Eth2NetworkConfig`
- move `DEFAULT_HARDCODED_TESTNET` to `DEFAULT_HARDCODED_NETWORK`
- `beacon_node`s `get_eth2_testnet_config` loads the `DEFAULT_HARDCODED_NETWORK` if there is no network nor testnet provided
- `boot_node`s config loads the config same as the `beacon_node`, it was using the configuration only for preconfigured networks (That code is ~1year old so I asume it was not intended)
- removed a one year old comment stating we should try to emulate `https://github.com/eth2-clients/eth2-testnets/tree/master/nimbus/testnet1` it looks outdated (?)
- remove `lighthouse`s `load_testnet_config` in favor of `get_eth2_network_config` to centralize that logic (It had differences)

## Proposed Changes
This was mostly done to find the reason why LH was dropping peers from Nimbus. It proved to be useful so I think it's worth it. But there is also some functional stuff here
- Add metrics for rpc errors per client, error type and direction
- Add metrics for downscoring events per source type, client and penalty type
- Add metrics for gossip validation results per client for non-accepted messages
- Make the RPC handler return errors and requests/responses in the order we see them
- Allow a small burst for the Ping rate limit, from 1 every 5 seconds to 2 every 10 seconds
- Send rate limiting errors with a particular code and use that same code to identify them. I picked something different to 128 since that is most likely what other clients are using for their own errors
- Remove some unused code in the `PeerAction` and the rpc handler
- Remove the unused variant `RateLimited`. tTis was never produced directly, since the only way to get the request's protocol is via de handler. The handler upon receiving from LH a response with an error (rate limited in this case) emits this event with the missing info (It was always like this, just pointing out that we do downscore rate limiting errors regardless of the change)
Metrics for Nimbus looked like this:
Downscoring events: `increase(libp2p_peer_actions_per_client{client="Nimbus"}[5m])`
RPC Errors: `increase(libp2p_rpc_errors_per_client{client="Nimbus"}[5m])`
Unaccepted gossip message: `increase(gossipsub_unaccepted_messages_per_client{client="Nimbus"}[5m])`
