## Issue Addressed
NA
## Proposed Changes
Adds support for using the [`cross`](https://github.com/rust-embedded/cross) project to produce cross-compiled binaries using Docker images.
Provides quite clean and simple cross-compiles cause all the complexity is hidden in Dockerfiles. It does require you to be in the `docker` group though.
## Details
- Adds shortcut commands to `Makefile`
- Ensures `reqwest` and `discv5` use vendored openssl libs (i.e., static not shared).
- Switches to a [commit](284f705964) of blst that has a renamed C function to avoid a collision with openssl (upstream issue: https://github.com/supranational/blst/issues/21).
- Updates `ring` to the latest satisfiable version, since an earlier version was causing issues with `cross`.
- Off-topic, but adds extra message about Windows support as suggested by Discord user.
## Additional Info
- ~~Blocked on #1495~~
- There are no tests in CI for this yet for a few reasons:
- I'm hesitant to add more long-running tasks.
- Short-term bitrot should be avoided since we'll use it each release.
- In the long term I think it would be good to automate binary creation on a release.
- I observed the binaries increase in size from 50mb to 52mb after these changes.
## Issue Addressed
Closes#1395
## Proposed Changes
* Add a feature to `lighthouse` and `lcli` called `portable` which enables the `portable` feature on our fork of BLST. This feature turns off the `-march=native` C compiler flag that produces binaries highly targeted to the host CPU's instruction set.
* Tweak the `Makefile` so that when the `PORTABLE` environment variable is set to `true`, it compiles with this feature.
* Temporarily enable `PORTABLE=true` in the Docker build so that the image on Docker Hub is portable. Eventually I think we should enable `PORTABLE=true` _only on Docker Hub_, so that users building locally can take advantage of the tasty compiler magic. This seems to be possible by setting a Docker Hub environment variable: https://docs.docker.com/docker-hub/builds/#environment-variables-for-builds
## Additional Info
Tested by compiling on a very new CPU (Intel Core i7-8550U) and copying the binary to a very old CPU (Intel Core i3 530). Before the portability fix, this produced the SIGILL crash described in #1395, and after the fix, it worked smoothly.
I'm in the process of testing the Docker build and running some benches to confirm that the performance penalty isn't too severe.
## Issue Addressed
NA
## Proposed Changes
- Refactor the `bls` crate to support multiple BLS "backends" (e.g., milagro, blst, etc).
- Removes some duplicate, unused code in `common/rest_types/src/validator.rs`.
- Removes the old "upgrade legacy keypairs" functionality (these were unencrypted keys that haven't been supported for a few testnets, no one should be using them anymore).
## Additional Info
Most of the files changed are just inconsequential changes to function names.
## TODO
- [x] Optimization levels
- [x] Infinity point: https://github.com/supranational/blst/issues/11
- [x] Ensure milagro *and* blst are tested via CI
- [x] What to do with unsafe code?
- [x] Test infinity point in signature sets
* Update milagro_bls to new release
