b4689e20c6 Altair consensus changes and refactors (#2279)
## Proposed Changes

Implement the consensus changes necessary for the upcoming Altair hard fork.

## Additional Info

This is quite a heavy refactor, with pivotal types like the `BeaconState` and `BeaconBlock` changing from structs to enums. This ripples through the whole codebase with field accesses changing to methods, e.g. `state.slot` => `state.slot()`.

3b901dc5ec Pack attestations into blocks in parallel (#2307)
## Proposed Changes

Use two instances of max cover when packing attestations into blocks: one for the previous epoch, and one for the current epoch. This reduces the amount of computation done by roughly half due to the `O(n^2)` running time of max cover (`2 * (n/2)^2 = n^2/2`). This should help alleviate some load on block proposal, particularly on Prater.
