## Issue Addressed
NA
## Proposed Changes
- Implements a HTTP API for the validator client.
- Creates EIP-2335 keystores with an empty `description` field, instead of a missing `description` field. Adds option to set name.
- Be more graceful with setups without any validators (yet)
- Remove an error log when there are no validators.
- Create the `validator` dir if it doesn't exist.
- Allow building a `ValidatorDir` without a withdrawal keystore (required for the API method where we only post a voting keystore).
- Add optional `description` field to `validator_definitions.yml`
## TODO
- [x] Signature header, as per https://github.com/sigp/lighthouse/issues/1269#issuecomment-649879855
- [x] Return validator descriptions
- [x] Return deposit data
- [x] Respect the mnemonic offset
- [x] Check that mnemonic can derive returned keys
- [x] Be strict about non-localhost
- [x] Allow graceful start without any validators (+ create validator dir)
- [x] Docs final pass
- [x] Swap to EIP-2335 description field.
- [x] Fix Zerioze TODO in VC api types.
- [x] Zeroize secp256k1 key

- Includes the `ShufflingId` struct initially defined in #1492. That PR is now closed and the changes are included here, with significant bug fixes.
- Implement the https://github.com/ethereum/eth2.0-APIs in a new `http_api` crate using `warp`. This replaces the `rest_api` crate.
- Add a new `common/eth2` crate which provides a wrapper around `reqwest`, providing the HTTP client that is used by the validator client and for testing. This replaces the `common/remote_beacon_node` crate.
- Create a `http_metrics` crate which is a dedicated server for Prometheus metrics (they are no longer served on the same port as the REST API). We now have flags for `--metrics`, `--metrics-address`, etc.
- Allow the `subnet_id` to be an optional parameter for `VerifiedUnaggregatedAttestation::verify`. This means it does not need to be provided unnecessarily by the validator client.
- Move `fn map_attestation_committee` in `mod beacon_chain::attestation_verification` to a new `fn with_committee_cache` on the `BeaconChain` so the same cache can be used for obtaining validator duties.
- Add some other helpers to `BeaconChain` to assist with common API duties (e.g., `block_root_at_slot`, `head_beacon_block_root`).
- Change the `NaiveAggregationPool` so it can index attestations by `hash_tree_root(attestation.data)`. This is a requirement of the API.
- Add functions to `BeaconChainHarness` to allow it to create slashings and exits.
- Allow for `eth1::Eth1NetworkId` to go to/from a `String`.
- Add functions to the `OperationPool` to allow getting all objects in the pool.
- Add function to `BeaconState` to check if a committee cache is initialized.
- Fix bug where `seconds_per_eth1_block` was not transferring over from `YamlConfig` to `ChainSpec`.
- Add the `deposit_contract_address` to `YamlConfig` and `ChainSpec`. We needed to be able to return it in an API response.
- Change some uses of serde `serialize_with` and `deserialize_with` to a single use of `with` (code quality).
- Impl `Display` and `FromStr` for several BLS fields.
- Check for clock discrepancy when VC polls BN for sync state (with +/- 1 slot tolerance). This is not intended to be comprehensive, it was just easy to do.
- See #1434 for a per-endpoint overview.
- Seeking clarity here: https://github.com/ethereum/eth2.0-APIs/issues/75
