f3fd1f210b Remove consensus/types re-exports (#8540)
There are certain crates which we re-export within `types` which creates a fragmented DevEx, where there are various ways to import the same crates.

```rust
// consensus/types/src/lib.rs
pub use bls::{
AggregatePublicKey, AggregateSignature, Error as BlsError, Keypair, PUBLIC_KEY_BYTES_LEN,
PublicKey, PublicKeyBytes, SIGNATURE_BYTES_LEN, SecretKey, Signature, SignatureBytes,
get_withdrawal_credentials,
};
pub use context_deserialize::{ContextDeserialize, context_deserialize};
pub use fixed_bytes::FixedBytesExtended;
pub use milhouse::{self, List, Vector};
pub use ssz_types::{BitList, BitVector, FixedVector, VariableList, typenum, typenum::Unsigned};
pub use superstruct::superstruct;
```

This PR removes these re-exports and makes it explicit that these types are imported from a non-`consensus/types` crate.

53e73fa376 Remove duplicate state in ProtoArray (#8324)
Part of a fork-choice tech debt clean-up https://github.com/sigp/lighthouse/issues/8325

https://github.com/sigp/lighthouse/issues/7089 (non-finalized checkpoint sync) changes the meaning of the checkpoints inside fork-choice. It turns out that we persist the justified and finalized checkpoints **twice** in fork-choice
1. Inside the fork-choice store
2. Inside the proto-array

There's no reason for 2. except for making the function signature of some methods smallers. It's not consistent with the rest of the crate, because in some functions we pass the external variable of time (current_slot) via args, but then read the finalized checkpoint from the internal state. Passing both variables as args makes fork-choice easier to reason about at the cost of a few extra lines.


  Remove the unnecessary state (`justified_checkpoint`, `finalized_checkpoint`) inside `ProtoArray`, to make it easier to reason about.

38fdaf791c Fix proposer shuffling decision slot at boundary (#8128)
Follow-up to the bug fixed in:

- https://github.com/sigp/lighthouse/pull/8121

This fixes the root cause of that bug, which was introduced by me in:

- https://github.com/sigp/lighthouse/pull/8101

Lion identified the issue here:

- https://github.com/sigp/lighthouse/pull/8101#discussion_r2382710356


  In the methods that compute the proposer shuffling decision root, ensure we don't use lookahead for the Fulu fork epoch itself. This is accomplished by checking if Fulu is enabled at `epoch - 1`, i.e. if `epoch > fulu_fork_epoch`.

I haven't updated the methods that _compute_ shufflings to use these new corrected bounds (e.g. `BeaconState::compute_proposer_indices`), although we could make this change in future. The `get_beacon_proposer_indices` method already gracefully handles the Fulu boundary case by using the `proposer_lookahead` field (if initialised).

c754234b2c Fix bugs in proposer calculation post-Fulu (#8101)
As identified by a researcher during the Fusaka security competition, we were computing the proposer index incorrectly in some places by computing without lookahead.


  - [x] Add "low level" checks to computation functions in `consensus/types` to ensure they error cleanly
- [x] Re-work the determination of proposer shuffling decision roots, which are now fork aware.
- [x] Re-work and simplify the beacon proposer cache to be fork-aware.
- [x] Optimise `with_proposer_cache` to use `OnceCell`.
- [x] All tests passing.
- [x] Resolve all remaining `FIXME(sproul)`s.
- [x] Unit tests for `ProtoBlock::proposer_shuffling_root_for_child_block`.
- [x] End-to-end regression test.
- [x] Test on pre-Fulu network.
- [x] Test on post-Fulu network.

70850fe58d Drop head tracker for summaries DAG (#6744)
The head tracker is a persisted piece of state that must be kept in sync with the fork-choice. It has been a source of pruning issues in the past, so we want to remove it
- see https://github.com/sigp/lighthouse/issues/1785

When implementing tree-states in the hot DB we have to change the pruning routine (more details below) so we want to do those changes first in isolation.
- see https://github.com/sigp/lighthouse/issues/6580
- If you want to see the full feature of tree-states hot https://github.com/dapplion/lighthouse/pull/39

Closes https://github.com/sigp/lighthouse/issues/1785


  **Current DB migration routine**

- Locate abandoned heads with head tracker
- Use a roots iterator to collect the ancestors of those heads can be pruned
- Delete those abandoned blocks / states
- Migrate the newly finalized chain to the freezer

In summary, it computes what it has to delete and keeps the rest. Then it migrates data to the freezer. If the abandoned forks routine has a bug it can break the freezer migration.

**Proposed migration routine (this PR)**

- Migrate the newly finalized chain to the freezer
- Load all state summaries from disk
- From those, just knowing the head and finalized block compute two sets: (1) descendants of finalized (2) newly finalized chain
- Iterate all summaries, if a summary does not belong to set (1) or (2), delete

This strategy is more sound as it just checks what's there in the hot DB, computes what it has to keep and deletes the rest. Because it does not rely and 3rd pieces of data we can drop the head tracker and pruning checkpoint. Since the DB migration happens **first** now, as long as the computation of the sets to keep is correct we won't have pruning issues.

3c029d48bf DB migration for fork choice cleanup (#4265)
## Issue Addressed

#4233

## Proposed Changes

Remove the `best_justified_checkpoint` from the `PersistedForkChoiceStore` type as it is now unused.
Additionally, remove the `Option`'s wrapping the `justified_checkpoint` and `finalized_checkpoint` fields on `ProtoNode` which were only present to facilitate a previous migration.

Include the necessary code to facilitate the migration to a new DB schema.

b90c0c3fb1 Make re-org strat more cautious and add more config (#4151)
## Proposed Changes

This change attempts to prevent failed re-orgs by:

1. Lowering the re-org cutoff from 2s to 1s. This is informed by a failed re-org attempted by @yorickdowne's node. The failed block was requested in the 1.5-2s window due to a Vouch failure, and failed to propagate to the majority of the network before the attestation deadline at 4s.
2. Allow users to adjust their re-org cutoff depending on observed network conditions and their risk profile. The static 2 second cutoff was too rigid.
3. Add a `--proposer-reorg-disallowed-offsets` flag which can be used to prohibit reorgs at certain slots. This is intended to help workaround an issue whereby reorging blocks at slot 1 are currently taking ~1.6s to propagate on gossip rather than ~500ms. This is suspected to be due to a cache miss in current versions of Prysm, which should be fixed in their next release.

## Additional Info

I'm of two minds about removing the `shuffling_stable` check which checks for blocks at slot 0 in the epoch. If we removed it users would be able to configure Lighthouse to try reorging at slot 0, which likely wouldn't work very well due to interactions with the proposer index cache. I think we could leave it for now and revisit it later.

1f8c17b530 Fork choice modifications and cleanup (#3962)
## Issue Addressed

NA

## Proposed Changes

- Implements https://github.com/ethereum/consensus-specs/pull/3290/
- Bumps `ef-tests` to [v1.3.0-rc.4](https://github.com/ethereum/consensus-spec-tests/releases/tag/v1.3.0-rc.4).

The `CountRealizedFull` concept has been removed and the `--count-unrealized-full` and `--count-unrealized` BN flags now do nothing but log a `WARN` when used.

## Database Migration Debt

This PR removes the `best_justified_checkpoint` from fork choice. This field is persisted on-disk and the correct way to go about this would be to make a DB migration to remove the field. However, in this PR I've simply stubbed out the value with a junk value. I've taken this approach because if we're going to do a DB migration I'd love to remove the `Option`s around the justified and finalized checkpoints on `ProtoNode` whilst we're at it. Those options were added in #2822 which was included in Lighthouse v2.1.0. The options were only put there to handle the migration and they've been set to `Some` ever since v2.1.0. There's no reason to keep them as options anymore.

I started adding the DB migration to this branch but I started to feel like I was bloating this rather critical PR with nice-to-haves. I've kept the partially-complete migration [over in my repo](https://github.com/paulhauner/lighthouse/tree/fc-pr-18-migration) so we can pick it up after this PR is merged.

5276dd0cb0 Fix edge-case when finding the finalized descendant (#3924)
## Issue Addressed

NA

## Description

We were missing an edge case when checking to see if a block is a descendant of the finalized checkpoint. This edge case is described for one of the tests in this PR:

a119edc739/consensus/proto_array/src/proto_array_fork_choice.rs (L1018-L1047)

This bug presented itself in the following mainnet log:

```
Jan 26 15:12:42.841 ERRO Unable to validate attestation error: MissingBeaconState(0x7c30cb80ec3d4ec624133abfa70e4c6cfecfca456bfbbbff3393e14e5b20bf25), peer_id: 16Uiu2HAm8RPRciXJYtYc5c3qtCRdrZwkHn2BXN3XP1nSi1gxHYit, type: "unaggregated", slot: Slot(5660161), beacon_block_root: 0x4a45e59da7cb9487f4836c83bdd1b741b4f31c67010c7ae343fa6771b3330489
```

Here the BN is rejecting an attestation because of a "missing beacon state". Whilst it was correct to reject the attestation, it should have rejected it because it attests to a block that conflicts with finality rather than claiming that the database is inconsistent.

The block that this attestation points to (`0x4a45`) is block `C` in the above diagram. It is a non-canonical block in the first slot of an epoch that conflicts with the finalized checkpoint. Due to our lazy pruning of proto array, `0x4a45` was still present in proto-array. Our missed edge-case in [`ForkChoice::is_descendant_of_finalized`](38514c07f2/consensus/fork_choice/src/fork_choice.rs (L1375-L1379)) would have indicated to us that the block is a descendant of the finalized block. Therefore, we would have accepted the attestation thinking that it attests to a descendant of the finalized *checkpoint*.

Since we didn't have the shuffling for this erroneously processed block, we attempted to read its state from the database. This failed because we prune states from the database by keeping track of the tips of the chain and iterating back until we find a finalized block. This would have deleted `C` from the database, hence the `MissingBeaconState` error.

775d222299 Enable proposer boost re-orging (#2860)
## Proposed Changes

With proposer boosting implemented (#2822) we have an opportunity to re-org out late blocks.

This PR adds three flags to the BN to control this behaviour:

* `--disable-proposer-reorgs`: turn aggressive re-orging off (it's on by default).
* `--proposer-reorg-threshold N`: attempt to orphan blocks with less than N% of the committee vote. If this parameter isn't set then N defaults to 20% when the feature is enabled.
* `--proposer-reorg-epochs-since-finalization N`: only attempt to re-org late blocks when the number of epochs since finalization is less than or equal to N. The default is 2 epochs, meaning re-orgs will only be attempted when the chain is finalizing optimally.

For safety Lighthouse will only attempt a re-org under very specific conditions:

1. The block being proposed is 1 slot after the canonical head, and the canonical head is 1 slot after its parent. i.e. at slot `n + 1` rather than building on the block from slot `n` we build on the block from slot `n - 1`.
2. The current canonical head received less than N% of the committee vote. N should be set depending on the proposer boost fraction itself, the fraction of the network that is believed to be applying it, and the size of the largest entity that could be hoarding votes.
3. The current canonical head arrived after the attestation deadline from our perspective. This condition was only added to support suppression of forkchoiceUpdated messages, but makes intuitive sense.
4. The block is being proposed in the first 2 seconds of the slot. This gives it time to propagate and receive the proposer boost.
