Web3Signer now requires Java runtime v17, see [v23.8.0 release](https://github.com/Consensys/web3signer/releases/tag/23.8.0).
We have some Web3Signer tests that requires a compatible Java runtime to be installed on dev machines. This PR updates `setup` documentation in Lighthouse book, and also fixes a small typo.
## Issue Addressed
#4402
## Proposed Changes
This PR adds QUIC support to Lighthouse. As this is not officially spec'd this will only work between lighthouse <-> lighthouse connections. We attempt a QUIC connection (if the node advertises it) and if it fails we fallback to TCP.
This should be a backwards compatible modification. We want to test this functionality on live networks to observe any improvements in bandwidth/latency.
NOTE: This also removes the websockets transport as I believe no one is really using it. It should be mentioned in our release however.

## Issue Addressed
Siren FAQ requires more information regarding network connections to lighthouse BN/VC
## Proposed Changes
Added more info regarding port, BN/VC flags, ssh tunneling and VPNs access

## Proposed Changes
The current Advanced Networking page references the ["--listen-addresses"](14924dbc95/book/src/advanced_networking.md (L124C8-L124C8)) argument, which does not exist in the beacon node. This PR changes such instances of "--listen-addresses" to "--listen-address".
Additionally, the page mentions using sockets that [both listen to IPv6](14924dbc95/book/src/advanced_networking.md (L151)) in a dual-stack setup? Hence, this PR also changes said line to "using one socket for IPv4 and another socket for IPv6".
## Additional Info
None.

## Proposed Changes
Adds the Chiado (Gnosis testnet) network to the builtin one.
## Additional Info
It's a fairly trivial change all things considered as the preset already exists, so shouldn't be hard to maintain.
It compiles and seems to work, but I'm sure I missed something?

## 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
Addresses #2557
## Proposed Changes
Adds the `lighthouse validator-manager` command, which provides:
- `lighthouse validator-manager create`
- Creates a `validators.json` file and a `deposits.json` (same format as https://github.com/ethereum/staking-deposit-cli)
- `lighthouse validator-manager import`
- Imports validators from a `validators.json` file to the VC via the HTTP API.
- `lighthouse validator-manager move`
- Moves validators from one VC to the other, utilizing only the VC API.
## Additional Info
In 98bcb947c I've reduced some VC `ERRO` and `CRIT` warnings to `WARN` or `DEBG` for the case where a pubkey is missing from the validator store. These were being triggered when we removed a validator but still had it in caches. It seems to me that `UnknownPubkey` will only happen in the case where we've removed a validator, so downgrading the logs is prudent. All the logs are `DEBG` apart from attestations and blocks which are `WARN`. I thought having *some* logging about this condition might help us down the track.
In 856cd7e37d I've made the VC delete the corresponding password file when it's deleting a keystore. This seemed like nice hygiene. Notably, it'll only delete that password file after it scans the validator definitions and finds that no other validator is also using that password file.
**Motivation**
As clarified [on discord](https://discord.com/channels/605577013327167508/605577013331361793/1121246688183603240), sync committee contributions are not delayed if DP is enabled.
**Description**
This PR updates doppelganger note about sync committee contributions. Based on the current docs, a user might assume that DP is not working as expected.
## 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
[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
#4386
## Proposed Changes
The original proposal described in the issue adds a new endpoint to support updating validator graffiti, but I realized we already have an endpoint that we use for updating various validator fields in memory and in the validator definitions file, so I think that would be the best place to add this to.
### API endpoint
`PATCH lighthouse/validators/{validator_pubkey}`
This endpoint updates the graffiti in both the [ validator definition file](https://lighthouse-book.sigmaprime.io/graffiti.html#2-setting-the-graffiti-in-the-validator_definitionsyml) and the in memory `InitializedValidators`. In the next block proposal, the new graffiti will be used.
Note that the [`--graffiti-file`](https://lighthouse-book.sigmaprime.io/graffiti.html#1-using-the---graffiti-file-flag-on-the-validator-client) flag has a priority over the validator definitions file, so if the caller attempts to update the graffiti while the `--graffiti-file` flag is present, the endpoint will return an error (Bad request 400).
## Tasks
- [x] Add graffiti update support to `PATCH lighthouse/validators/{validator_pubkey}`
- [x] Return error if user tries to update graffiti while the `--graffiti-flag` is set
- [x] Update Lighthouse book
This is only a minor correction to the table not properly showing up in Lighthouse book. The changes solves the formatting issue. Another change is on the link to do port-forwarding.
## Proposed Changes
Correct some typos in the book, also update information about withdrawals since the Mainnet will be having 700K validators in about a month
Done in different PRs so that they can reviewed independently, as it's likely this won't be merged before I leave

## Issue Addressed
Closes#4354Closes#3987
Replaces #4305, #4283
## Proposed Changes
This switches the default slasher backend _back_ to LMDB.
If an MDBX database exists and the MDBX backend is enabled then MDBX will continue to be used. Our release binaries and Docker images will continue to include MDBX for as long as it is practical, so users of these should not notice any difference.
The main benefit is to users compiling from source and devs running tests. These users no longer have to struggle to compile MDBX and deal with the compatibility issues that arises. Similarly, devs don't need to worry about toggling feature flags in tests or risk forgetting to run the slasher tests due to backend issues.
## Issue Addressed

## Issue Addressed
Added some frequently asked questions in the Lighthouse Book
## Proposed Changes
Created another file faqV2.md which categorises the FAQs into different sections for better organisation. For review purpose, a review on faq.md will suffice. Then, if faqV2.md looks better, can delete faq.md; otherwise if the changes to the faqV2.md is too much, can keep faq.md and delete faqv2.md.

This PR adds the ability to read the Lighthouse logs from the HTTP API for both the BN and the VC.
This is done in such a way to as minimize any kind of performance hit by adding this feature.
The current design creates a tokio broadcast channel and mixes is into a form of slog drain that combines with our main global logger drain, only if the http api is enabled.
The drain gets the logs, checks the log level and drops them if they are below INFO. If they are INFO or higher, it sends them via a broadcast channel only if there are users subscribed to the HTTP API channel. If not, it drops the logs.
If there are more than one subscriber, the channel clones the log records and converts them to json in their independent HTTP API tasks.
