- Enabled the linter in rate-limiter and fixed errors.
- Changed the type of `Quota::max_tokens` from `u64` to `NonZeroU64` because `max_tokens` cannot be zero.
- Added a test to ensure that a large value for `tokens`, which causes an overflow, is handled properly.

### `Is there already an active request with the same protocol?`
This check is not performed in `Before`. This is taken from the PR in the consensus-spec, which proposes updates regarding rate limiting and response timeout.
https://github.com/ethereum/consensus-specs/pull/3767/files
> The requester MUST NOT make more than two concurrent requests with the same ID.
The PR mentions the requester side. In this PR, I introduced the `ActiveRequestsLimiter` for the `responder` side to restrict more than two requests from running simultaneously on the same protocol per peer. If the limiter disallows a request, the responder sends a rate-limited error and penalizes the requester.
### `Rate limit reached?` and `Wait until tokens are regenerated`
UPDATE: I moved the limiter logic to the behaviour side. https://github.com/sigp/lighthouse/pull/5923#issuecomment-2379535927
~~The rate limiter is shared between the behaviour and the handler. (`Arc<Mutex<RateLimiter>>>`) The handler checks the rate limit and queues the response if the limit is reached. The behaviour handles pruning.~~
~~I considered not sharing the rate limiter between the behaviour and the handler, and performing all of these either within the behaviour or handler. However, I decided against this for the following reasons:~~
- ~~Regarding performing everything within the behaviour: The behaviour is unable to recognize the response protocol when `RPC::send_response()` is called, especially when the response is `RPCCodedResponse::Error`. Therefore, the behaviour can't rate limit responses based on the response protocol.~~
- ~~Regarding performing everything within the handler: When multiple connections are established with a peer, there could be multiple handlers interacting with that peer. Thus, we cannot enforce rate limiting per peer solely within the handler. (Any ideas? 🤔 )~~
I've been working at updating another library to latest Lighthouse and got very confused with RPC request Ids.
There were types that had fields called `request_id` and `id`. And interchangeably could have types `PeerRequestId`, `rpc::RequestId`, `AppRequestId`, `api_types::RequestId` or even `Request.id`.
I couldn't keep track of which Id was linked to what and what each type meant.
So this PR mainly does a few things:
- Changes the field naming to match the actual type. So any field that has an `AppRequestId` will be named `app_request_id` rather than `id` or `request_id` for example.
- I simplified the types. I removed the two different `RequestId` types (one in Lighthouse_network the other in the rpc) and grouped them into one. It has one downside tho. I had to add a few unreachable lines of code in the beacon processor, which the extra type would prevent, but I feel like it might be worth it. Happy to add an extra type to avoid those few lines.
- I also removed the concept of `PeerRequestId` which sometimes went alongside a `request_id`. There were times were had a `PeerRequest` and a `Request` being returned, both of which contain a `RequestId` so we had redundant information. I've simplified the logic by removing `PeerRequestId` and made a `ResponseId`. I think if you look at the code changes, it simplifies things a bit and removes the redundant extra info.
I think with this PR things are a little bit easier to reasonable about what is going on with all these RPC Ids.
NOTE: I did this with the help of AI, so probably should be checked
We don't need to store `BehaviourAction` for `ready_requests` and therefore avoid having an `unreachable!` on #6625.
Therefore this PR should be merged before it
Part of
- https://github.com/sigp/lighthouse/issues/6258
To address PeerDAS sync issues we need to make individual by_range requests within a batch retriable. We should adopt the same pattern for lookup sync where each request (block/blobs/columns) is tracked individually within a "meta" request that group them all and handles retry logic.
- Building on https://github.com/sigp/lighthouse/pull/6398
second step is to add individual request accumulators for `blocks_by_range`, `blobs_by_range`, and `data_columns_by_range`. This will allow each request to progress independently and be retried separately.
Most of the logic is just piping, excuse the large diff. This PR does not change the logic of how requests are handled or retried. This will be done in a future PR changing the logic of `RangeBlockComponentsRequest`.
### Before
- Sync manager receives block with `SyncRequestId::RangeBlockAndBlobs`
- Insert block into `SyncNetworkContext::range_block_components_requests`
- (If received stream terminators of all requests)
- Return `Vec<RpcBlock>`, and insert into `range_sync`
### Now
- Sync manager receives block with `SyncRequestId::RangeBlockAndBlobs`
- Insert block into `SyncNetworkContext:: blocks_by_range_requests`
- (If received stream terminator of this request)
- Return `Vec<SignedBlock>`, and insert into `SyncNetworkContext::components_by_range_requests `
- (If received a result for all requests)
- Return `Vec<RpcBlock>`, and insert into `range_sync`

## Issue Addressed
Upgrade libp2p to v0.52
## Proposed Changes
- **Workflows**: remove installation of `protoc`
- **Book**: remove installation of `protoc`
- **`Dockerfile`s and `cross`**: remove custom base `Dockerfile` for cross since it's no longer needed. Remove `protoc` from remaining `Dockerfiles`s
- **Upgrade `discv5` to `v0.3.1`:** we have some cool stuff in there: no longer needs `protoc` and faster ip updates on cold start
- **Upgrade `prometheus` to `0.21.0`**, now it no longer needs encoding checks
- **things that look like refactors:** bunch of api types were renamed and need to be accessed in a different (clearer) way
- **Lighthouse network**
- connection limits is now a behaviour
- banned peers no longer exist on the swarm level, but at the behaviour level
- `connection_event_buffer_size` now is handled per connection with a buffer size of 4
- `mplex` is deprecated and was removed
- rpc handler now logs the peer to which it belongs
## Additional Info
Tried to keep as much behaviour unchanged as possible. However, there is a great deal of improvements we can do _after_ this upgrade:
- Smart connection limits: Connection limits have been checked only based on numbers, we can now use information about the incoming peer to decide if we want it
- More powerful peer management: Dial attempts from other behaviours can be rejected early
- Incoming connections can be rejected early
- Banning can be returned exclusively to the peer management: We should not get connections to banned peers anymore making use of this
- TCP Nat updates: We might be able to take advantage of confirmed external addresses to check out tcp ports/ips

## Issue Addressed
On deneb devnetv5, lighthouse keeps rate limiting peers which makes it harder to bootstrap new nodes as there are very few peers in the network. This PR adds an option to disable the inbound rate limiter for testnets.
Added an option to configure inbound rate limits as well.

## Issue Addressed
Cleans up all the remnants of 4844 in capella. This makes sure when 4844 is reviewed there is nothing we are missing because it got included here
## Proposed Changes
drop a bomb on every 4844 thing
## Additional Info
Merge process I did (locally) is as follows:
- squash merge to produce one commit
- in new branch off unstable with the squashed commit create a `git revert HEAD` commit
- merge that new branch onto 4844 with `--strategy ours`
- compare local 4844 to remote 4844 and make sure the diff is empty
- enjoy

## Issue Addressed
Adds self rate limiting options, mainly with the idea to comply with peer's rate limits in small testnets
## Proposed Changes
Add a hidden flag `self-limiter` this can take no value, or customs values to configure quotas per protocol
## Additional Info
### How to use
`--self-limiter` will turn on the self rate limiter applying the same params we apply to inbound requests (requests from other peers)
`--self-limiter "beacon_blocks_by_range:64/1"` will turn on the self rate limiter for ALL protocols, but change the quota for bbrange to 64 requested blocks per 1 second.
`--self-limiter "beacon_blocks_by_range:64/1;ping:1/10"` same as previous one, changing the quota for ping as well.
### Caveats
- The rate limiter is either on or off for all protocols. I added the custom values to be able to change the quotas per protocol so that some protocols can be given extremely loose or tight quotas. I think this should satisfy every need even if we can't technically turn off rate limits per protocol.
- This reuses the rate limiter struct for the inbound requests so there is this ugly part of the code in which we need to deal with the inbound only protocols (light client stuff) if this becomes too ugly as we add lc protocols, we might want to split the rate limiters. I've checked this and looks doable with const generics to avoid so much code duplication
### Knowing if this is on
