62c8548ed0 Revert "Update BLST, add force-adx support (#1595)" (#1649)
This reverts commit 4fca306397.

Something in the BLST update is causing SIGILLs on aarch64 non-portable builds. While we debug the issue, I think it's best if we just revert the update.

4fca306397 Update BLST, add force-adx support (#1595)
## Issue Addressed

Closes #1504
Closes https://github.com/sigp/lighthouse/issues/1505

## Proposed Changes

* Update `blst` to the latest version, which is more portable and includes finer-grained compilation controls (see below).
* Detect the case where a binary has been explicitly compiled with ADX support but it's missing at runtime, and report a nicer error than `SIGILL`.

## Known Issues

* None. The previous issue with `make build-aarch64` (https://github.com/supranational/blst/issues/27), has been resolved.

## Additional Info

I think we should tweak our release process and our Docker builds so that we provide two options:

Binaries:

* `lighthouse`: compiled with `modern`/`force-adx`, for CPUs 2013 and newer
* `lighthouse-portable`: compiled with `portable` for older CPUs

Docker images:

* `sigp/lighthouse:latest`: multi-arch image with `modern` x86_64 and vanilla aarch64 binary
* `sigp/lighthouse:latest-portable`: multi-arch image with `portable` builds for x86_64 and aarch64

And relevant Docker images for the releases (as per https://github.com/sigp/lighthouse/pull/1574#issuecomment-687766141), tagged `v0.x.y` and `v0.x.y-portable`

b063df5bf9 Cross-compile to vendored x86_84, aarch64 (Raspberry Pi 4) (#1497)
## Issue Addressed

NA

## Proposed Changes

Adds support for using the [`cross`](https://github.com/rust-embedded/cross) project to produce cross-compiled binaries using Docker images.

Provides quite clean and simple cross-compiles cause all the complexity is hidden in Dockerfiles. It does require you to be in the `docker` group though.

## Details

- Adds shortcut commands to `Makefile`
- Ensures `reqwest` and `discv5` use vendored openssl libs (i.e., static not shared).
- Switches to a [commit](284f705964) of blst that has a renamed C function to avoid a collision with openssl (upstream issue: https://github.com/supranational/blst/issues/21).
- Updates `ring` to the latest satisfiable version, since an earlier version was causing issues with `cross`.
- Off-topic, but adds extra message about Windows support as suggested by Discord user.

## Additional Info

- ~~Blocked on #1495~~
- There are no tests in CI for this yet for a few reasons:
  - I'm hesitant to add more long-running tasks.
  - Short-term bitrot should be avoided since we'll use it each release.
  - In the long term I think it would be good to automate binary creation on a release.
- I observed the binaries increase in size from 50mb to 52mb after these changes.
