4186d117af Replace OpenOptions::new with File::options to be readable (#3059)
## Issue Addressed

Closes #3049 

This PR updates widely but this replace is safe as `File::options()` is equivelent to `OpenOptions::new()`.

ba55e140ae Enable Compatibility with Windows (#2333)
## Issue Addressed

Windows incompatibility.

## Proposed Changes

On windows, lighthouse needs to default to STDIN as tty doesn't exist. Also Windows uses ACLs for file permissions. So to mirror chmod 600, we will remove every entry in a file's ACL and add only a single SID that is an alias for the file owner.

Beyond that, there were several changes made to different unit tests because windows has slightly different error messages as well as frustrating nuances around killing a process :/

## Additional Info

Tested on my Windows VM and it appears to work, also compiled & tested on Linux with these changes. Permissions look correct on both platforms now. Just waiting for my validator to activate on Prater so I can test running full validator client on windows.

58e52f8f40 Write validator definitions atomically (#2338)
## Issue Addressed

Closes https://github.com/sigp/lighthouse/issues/2159

## Proposed Changes

Rather than trying to write the validator definitions to disk directly, use a temporary file called `.validator_defintions.yml.tmp` and then atomically rename it to `validator_definitions.yml`. This avoids truncating the primary file, which can cause permanent damage when the disk is full.

The same treatment is also applied to the validator key cache, although the situation is less dire if it becomes corrupted because it can just be deleted without the user having to reimport keys or resupply passwords.

## Additional Info

* `File::create` truncates upon opening: https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/fs/struct.File.html#method.create
* `fs::rename` uses `rename` on UNIX and `MoveFileEx` on Windows: https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/fs/fn.rename.html
* UNIX `rename` call is atomic: https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/322038/is-mv-atomic-on-my-fs
* Windows `MoveFileEx` is _not_ atomic in general, and Windows lacks any clear API for atomic file renames :(
   https://stackoverflow.com/questions/167414/is-an-atomic-file-rename-with-overwrite-possible-on-windows

## Further Work

* Consider whether we want to try a different Windows syscall as part of #2333. The `rust-atomicwrites` crate seems promising, but actually uses the same syscall under the hood presently: https://github.com/untitaker/rust-atomicwrites/issues/27.

59adc5ba00 Implement key cache to reduce keystore loading times for validator_client (#1695)
## Issue Addressed

#1618 

## Proposed Changes

Adds an encrypted key cache that is loaded on validator_client startup. It stores the keypairs for all enabled keystores and uses as password the concatenation the passwords of all enabled keystores. This reduces the number of time intensive key derivitions for `N` validators from `N` to `1`. On changes the cache gets updated asynchronously to avoid blocking the main thread.

## Additional Info

If the cache contains the keypair of a keystore that is not in the validator_definitions.yml file during loading the cache cannot get decrypted. In this case all the keystores get decrypted and then the cache gets overwritten. To avoid that one can disable keystores in validator_definitions.yml and restart the client which will remove them from the cache, after that one can entirely remove the keystore (from the validator_definitions.yml and from the disk). 

Other solutions to the above "problem" might be:
* Add a CLI and/or API function for removing keystores which will update the cache (asynchronously).
* Add a CLI and/or API function that just updates the cache (asynchronously) after a modification of the `validator_definitions.yml` file.

Note that the cache file has a lock file which gets removed immediatly after the cache was used or updated.
