## Issue Addressed
Closes#3210Closes#3211
## Proposed Changes
- Checkpoint sync from the latest finalized state regardless of its alignment.
- Add the `block_root` to the database's split point. This is _only_ added to the in-memory split in order to avoid a schema migration. See `load_split`.
- Add a new method to the DB called `get_advanced_state`, which looks up a state _by block root_, with a `state_root` as fallback. Using this method prevents accidental accesses of the split's unadvanced state, which does not exist in the hot DB and is not guaranteed to exist in the freezer DB at all. Previously Lighthouse would look up this state _from the freezer DB_, even if it was required for block/attestation processing, which was suboptimal.
- Replace several state look-ups in block and attestation processing with `get_advanced_state` so that they can't hit the split block's unadvanced state.
- Do not store any states in the freezer database by default. All states will be deleted upon being evicted from the hot database unless `--reconstruct-historic-states` is set. The anchor info which was previously used for checkpoint sync is used to implement this, including when syncing from genesis.
## Additional Info
Needs further testing. I want to stress-test the pruned database under Hydra.
The `get_advanced_state` method is intended to become more relevant over time: `tree-states` includes an identically named method that returns advanced states from its in-memory cache.

## Issue Addressed
[Users on Twitter](https://twitter.com/ashekhirin/status/1676334843192397824) are getting checkpoint sync URL timeouts with the default of 60s, so this PR increases the default timeout to 3 minutes.
I've also added a short section to the book about adjusting the timeout with `--checkpoint-sync-url-timeout`.
## Issue Addressed
Update Information in Lighthouse Book
## Proposed Changes
- move Validator Graffiti from Advanced Usage to Validator Management
- update API response and command
- some items that aren't too sure I put it in comment, which can be seen in raw/review format but not live
## Additional Info
Please provide any additional information. For example, future considerations
or information useful for reviewers.

## Proposed Changes
Add a section on the new community checkpoint sync endpoints in the book. This should help stakers sync faster even without having to create an account.
## Issue Addressed
N/A
## Proposed Changes
From discord, it seems like users are a bit unclear on how to run checkpoint sync if they don't have an existing synced beacon node. Adds a note on how to use infura for the checkpoint sync feature.
## Issue Addressed
No specific issue. Just some improvement in the documentation provided by the book.
## Proposed Changes
Add minimum supported version for checkpoint sync in book to make sure users who want to use this feature know they need to be using at least version 2.0.0.
## Issue Addressed
Closes#1891Closes#1784
## Proposed Changes
Implement checkpoint sync for Lighthouse, enabling it to start from a weak subjectivity checkpoint.
## Additional Info
- [x] Return unavailable status for out-of-range blocks requested by peers (#2561)
- [x] Implement sync daemon for fetching historical blocks (#2561)
- [x] Verify chain hashes (either in `historical_blocks.rs` or the calling module)
- [x] Consistency check for initial block + state
- [x] Fetch the initial state and block from a beacon node HTTP endpoint
- [x] Don't crash fetching beacon states by slot from the API
- [x] Background service for state reconstruction, triggered by CLI flag or API call.
Considered out of scope for this PR:
- Drop the requirement to provide the `--checkpoint-block` (this would require some pretty heavy refactoring of block verification)
