## Overview
There are forked chains which get referenced by blocks and attestations on a network. Typically if these chains are very long, we stop looking up the chain and downvote the peer. In extreme circumstances, many peers are on many chains, the chains can be very deep and become time consuming performing lookups.
This PR adds a cache to known failed chain lookups. This prevents us from starting a parent-lookup (or stopping one half way through) if we have attempted the chain lookup in the past.
## Issue Addressed
NA
## Proposed Changes
Moves beacon block processing over to the newly-added `GossipProcessor`. This moves the task off the core executor onto the blocking one.
## Additional Info
- With this PR, gossip blocks are being ignored during sync.

## Proposed Changes
Earlier, to log to a file, the only options were to redirect stdout/stderr to a file or use json logging.
Redirecting to stdout/stderr works well but causes issues with mistakenly overwriting the file instead of appending which has resulted in loss of precious logs on multiple occasions for me.
Json logging creates a timestamped backup of the file if it already exists, but the json format itself is hugely annoying.
This PR modifies the `--logfile` option to log as it does in the terminal to a logfile.

## 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.

#1419
## Proposed Changes
Creates a `--graffiti` cli flag in the validator client. If the flag is set, it overrides graffiti in the beacon node.
## Additional Info
## Issue Addressed
NA
## Proposed Changes
- Moves the git-based versioning we were doing into the `lighthouse_version` crate in `common`.
- Removes the `beacon_node/version` crate, replacing it with `lighthouse_version`.
- Bumps the version to `v0.2.0`.
## Additional Info
There are now two types of version string:
1. `const VERSION: &str = Lighthouse/v0.2.0-1419501f2+`
1. `version_with_platform() = Lighthouse/v0.2.0-1419501f2+/x86_64-linux`
(1) is handy cause it's a `const` and shorter. (2) has platform info so it's more useful. Note that the plus-sign (`+`) indicates the the git commit is dirty (it used to be `(modified)` but I had to shorten it to fit into graffiti).
These version strings are now included on:
- `lighthouse --version`
- `lcli --version`
- `curl localhost:5052/node/version`
- p2p messages when we communicate our version
You can update the version by changing this constant (version is not related to a `Cargo.toml`):
b9ad7102d5/common/lighthouse_version/src/lib.rs (L4-L15)

## Proposed Changes
Fixes some sharp edges on the new `lighthouse account validator list` command, and the account manager CLI.
* Validator names/keys are always printed in the same order due to the use of a sorted `BTreeMap`
* The `validator list` subcommand now respects the `--validator-dir` flag, instead of always looking in `~/.lighthouse/validators`
* The `--help` now shows a description for the `wallet` subcommand instead of just `TODO`
## Issue Addressed
NA
## Proposed Changes
- Adds a `lighthouse account validator list` command, to list all known validators.
- Fixes the validator names; previously they were using a full path (e.g., `"/home/paul/.lighthouse/validators/0x8ce25415d078bdc83133758604578ba51707a55965eeca8982f44695db7432d6ff1c23529020a971faa68ab60baf3118"` but now we only use the final directory name (e.g., `0x8ce25415d078bdc83133758604578ba51707a55965eeca8982f44695db7432d6ff1c23529020a971faa68ab60baf3118`).
## 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
## Issue Addressed
NA
## Proposed Changes
- Introduces the `valdiator_definitions.yml` file which serves as an explicit list of validators that should be run by the validator client.
- Removes `--strict` flag, split into `--strict-lockfiles` and `--disable-auto-discover`
- Adds a "Validator Management" page to the book.
- Adds the `common/account_utils` crate which contains some logic that was starting to duplicate across the codebase.
The new docs for this feature are the best description of it (apart from the code, I guess): 9cb87e93ce/book/src/validator-management.md
## API Changes
This change should be transparent for *most* existing users. If the `valdiator_definitions.yml` doesn't exist then it will be automatically generated using a method that will detect all the validators in their `validators_dir`.
Users will have issues if they are:
1. Using `--strict`.
1. Have keystores in their `~/.lighthouse/validators` directory that weren't being detected by the current keystore discovery method.
For users with (1), the VC will refuse to start because the `--strict` flag has been removed. They will be forced to review `--help` and choose an equivalent flag.
For users with (2), this seems fairly unlikely and since we're only in testnets there's no *real* value on the line here. I'm happy to take the risk, it would be a different case for mainnet.
## Additional Info
This PR adds functionality we will need for #1347.
## TODO
- [x] Reconsider flags
- [x] Move doc into a more reasonable chapter.
- [x] Check for compile warnings.
