91a7f51ab0 Post merge local testnets (#3807)
## Issue Addressed

N/A

## Proposed Changes

Modifies the local testnet scripts to start a network with genesis validators embedded into the genesis state. This allows us to start a local testnet without the need for deploying a deposit contract or depositing validators pre-genesis.

This also enables us to start a local test network at any fork we want without going through fork transitions. Also adds scripts to start multiple geth clients and peer them with each other and peer the geth clients with beacon nodes to start a post merge local testnet.

## Additional info

Adds a new lcli command `mnemonics-validators` that generates validator directories derived from a given mnemonic. 
Adds a new `derived-genesis-state` option to the `lcli new-testnet` command to generate a genesis state populated with validators derived from a mnemonic.

2940783a9c Upstream local testnet improvements (#3336)
## Proposed Changes

Adds some improvements I found when playing around with local testnets in #3335:
- When trying to kill processes, do not exit on a failure. (If a node fails to start due to a bug, the PID associated with it no longer exists. When trying to tear down the testnets, an error will be raised when it tries that PID and then will not try any PIDs following it. This change means it will continue and tear down the rest of the network.
- When starting the testnet, set `ulimit` to a high number. This allows the VCs to import 1000s of validators without running into limitations.

150931950d Fix errors from local testnet scripts on MacOS (#2919)
## Issue Addressed

Resolves https://github.com/sigp/lighthouse/issues/2763

## Proposed Changes

- Add a workflow which tests that local testnet starts successfully
  - Added `set` option into the scripts in order to fail fast so that we can notice errors during starting local testnet.
- Fix errors on MacOS
  - The redirect `&>>` is supported since bash v4 but the version bundled in macOS(11.6.1) is v3. a54f119c9b
