3b61ac9cbf Optimise slasher DB layout and switch to MDBX (#2776)
## Issue Addressed

Closes #2286
Closes #2538
Closes #2342

## Proposed Changes

Part II of major slasher optimisations after #2767

These changes will be backwards-incompatible due to the move to MDBX (and the schema change) 😱 

* [x] Shrink attester keys from 16 bytes to 7 bytes.
* [x] Shrink attester records from 64 bytes to 6 bytes.
* [x] Separate `DiskConfig` from regular `Config`.
* [x] Add configuration for the LRU cache size.
* [x] Add a "migration" that deletes any legacy LMDB database.

df02639b71 De-duplicate attestations in the slasher (#2767)
## Issue Addressed

Closes https://github.com/sigp/lighthouse/issues/2112
Closes https://github.com/sigp/lighthouse/issues/1861

## Proposed Changes

Collect attestations by validator index in the slasher, and use the magic of reference counting to automatically discard redundant attestations. This results in us storing only 1-2% of the attestations observed when subscribed to all subnets, which carries over to a 50-100x reduction in data stored 🎉 

## Additional Info

There's some nuance to the configuration of the `slot-offset`. It has a profound effect on the effictiveness of de-duplication, see the docs added to the book for an explanation: 5442e695e5/book/src/slasher.md (slot-offset)

43ac3f7209 Fix slasher database schema migration to v2 (#2125)
## Issue Addressed

Closes #2119

## 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.
