## Issue Addressed
Fixes head syncing
## Proposed Changes
- Get back to statusing peers after removing chain segments and making the peer manager deal with status according to the Sync status, preventing an old known deadlock
- Also a bug where a chain would get removed if the optimistic batch succeeds being empty
## Additional Info
Tested on Medalla and looking good
## Issue Addressed
Further testing revealed another edge case where we attempt to unban a peer that can be in a disconnected start. Although this causes no real issue, it does log an error to the user.
This PR adds a check to prevent this edge case and prevents the error being logged to the user.
This PR prevents a user-facing error.
It prevents optimistically unbanning a peer and instead checks the state of the peer before requesting the peers state to be unbanned.
## Issue Addressed
Potentially resolves#1647 and sync stalls.
## Proposed Changes
The handling of the state of banned peers was inadequate for the complex peerdb data structure. We store a limited number of disconnected and banned peers in the db. We were not tracking intermediate "disconnecting" states and the in some circumstances we were updating the peer state without informing the peerdb. This lead to a number of inconsistencies in the peer state.
Further, the peer manager could ban a peer changing a peer's state from being connected to banned. In this circumstance, if the peer then disconnected, we didn't inform the application layer, which lead to applications like sync not being informed of a peers disconnection. This could lead to sync stalling and having to require a lighthouse restart.
Improved handling for peer states and interactions with the peerdb is made in this PR.
## Issue Addressed
`node` endpoints in #1434
## Proposed Changes
Implement these:
```
/eth/v1/node/health
/eth/v1/node/peers/{peer_id}
/eth/v1/node/peers
```
- Add an `Option<Enr>` to `PeerInfo`
- Finish implementation of `/eth/v1/node/identity`
## Additional Info
- should update the `peers` endpoints when #1764 is resolved

## Issue Addressed
#1614 and a couple of sync-stalling problems, the most important is a cyclic dependency between the sync manager and the peer manager
## Issue Addressed
#1729#1730
Which issue # does this PR address?
## Proposed Changes
1. Fixes a bug in the simulator where nodes can't find each other due to 0 udp ports in their enr.
2. Fixes bugs in attestation service where we are unsubscribing from a subnet prematurely.
More testing is needed for attestation service fixes.

Clean up obsolute TODOs
## Issue Addressed
#629
## Proposed Changes
This removes banned peers from the DHT and informs discovery to block the node_id and the known source IP's associated with this node. It has the capabilities of un banning this peer after a period of time.
This also corrects the logic about banning specific IP addresses. We now use seen_ip addresses from libp2p rather than those sent to us via identify (which also include local addresses).
## Issue Addressed
Closes#1365
## Proposed Changes
Dial peers in the `cached_enrs` who aren't connected, aren't banned and satisfy the subnet predicate before making a subnet discovery query.

## Proposed Changes
Adds extended metrics to get a better idea of what is happening at the gossipsub layer of lighthouse. This provides information about mesh statistics per topics, subscriptions and peer scores.

## Proposed Changes
Refactor attestation service to send out requests to find peers for subnets as soon as we get attestation duties.
Earlier, we had much more involved logic to send the discovery requests to the discovery service only 6 slots before the attestation slot. Now that discovery is much smarter with grouped queries, the complexity in attestation service can be reduced considerably.

## Issue Addressed
#1384
Only catch, as currently implemented, when dialing the multiaddr nodes, there is no way to ask the peer manager if they are already connected or dialing
## Issue Addressed
#1056
## Proposed Changes
- Add a rate limiter to the RPC behaviour. This also means the rate limiting occurs just before the door to the application level, so the number of connections a peer opens does not affect this (this would happen in the future if put on the handler)
- The algorithm used is the leaky bucket as a meter / token bucket implemented the GCRA way
- Each protocol has its own limit. Due to the way the algorithm works, the "small" protocols have a hard limit, while bbrange and bbroot allow [burstiness](https://www.wikiwand.com/en/Burstiness). This is so that a peer can't request hundreds of individual requests expecting only one block in a short period of time, it also allows a peer to send two half size requests instead of one with max if they want to without getting limited, and.. it also allows a peer to request a batch of the maximum size and then send _appropriately spaced_ requests of really small sizes. From what I've seen in sync this is plausible when reaching the target slot.
## Additional Info
Needs to be heavily tested
## Issue Addressed
Recurring sync loop and invalid batch downloading
## Proposed Changes
Shifts the batches to include the first slot of each epoch. This ensures the finalized is always downloaded once a chain has completed syncing.
Also add in logic to prevent re-dialing disconnected peers. Non-performant peers get disconnected during sync, this prevents re-connection to these during sync.
