Jimmy Chen 43c5e924d7 Add --semi-supernode support (#8254)
Addresses #8218

A simplified version of #8241 for the initial release.

I've tried to minimise the logic change in this PR, although introducing the `NodeCustodyType` enum still result in quite a bit a of diff, but the actual logic change in `CustodyContext` is quite small.

The main changes are in the `CustdoyContext` struct
* ~~combining `validator_custody_count` and `current_is_supernode` fields into a single `custody_group_count_at_head` field. We persist the cgc of the initial cli values into the `custody_group_count_at_head` field and only allow for increase (same behaviour as before).~~
* I noticed the above approach caused a backward compatibility issue, I've [made a fix](15569bc085) and changed the approach slightly (which was actually what I had originally in mind):
* when initialising, only override the  `validator_custody_count` value if either flag `--supernode` or `--semi-supernode` is used; otherwise leave it as the existing default `0`. Most other logic remains unchanged.

All existing validator custody unit tests are still all passing, and I've added additional tests to cover semi-supernode, and restoring `CustodyContext` from disk.

Note: I've added a `WARN` if the user attempts to switch to a `--semi-supernode` or `--supernode` - this currently has no effect, but once @eserilev column backfill is merged, we should be able to support this quite easily.

Things to test
- [x] cgc in metadata / enr
- [x] cgc in metrics
- [x] subscribed subnets
- [x] getBlobs endpoint

Consensus Specification Tests

This crate parses and executes the test vectors at ethereum/consensus-spec-tests.

Functionality is achieved only via the $ cargo test --features ef_tests command.

Running the Tests

Because the test vectors are very large, we do not download or run them by default. To download them, run (in this directory):

$ make

Note: this may download hundreds of MB of compressed archives from the ethereum/consensus-spec-tests, which may expand into several GB of files.

If successful, you should now have the extracted tests in ./consensus-spec-tests.

Run them with:

$ cargo test --features ef_tests

The tests won't run without the ef_tests feature enabled (this is to ensure that a top-level cargo test --all won't fail on missing files).

The following is sometimes necessary to avoid stack overflow issues when running on MacOS:

$ export RUST_MIN_STACK=8388608

When debugging failing tests, it's often useful to disable parallization and output suppression:

$ cargo test --features ef_tests,disable_rayon -- --nocapture

Saving Space

When you download the tests, the downloaded archives will be kept in addition to the extracted files. You have several options for saving space:

  1. Delete the archives (make clean-archives), and keep the extracted files. Suitable for everyday use, just don't re-run make or it will redownload the archives.
  2. Delete the extracted files (make clean-test-files), and keep the archives. Suitable for CI, or temporarily saving space. If you re-run make it will extract the archives rather than redownloading them.
  3. Delete everything (make clean). Good for updating to a new version, or if you no longer wish to run the EF tests.
