Michael Sproul 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`

Lighthouse Book

Contains an mdBook that serves as the primary source of Lighthouse user documentation.

The book is hosted at lighthouse-book.sigmaprime.io

Usage

The mdBook docs are the best source of information for building the book.

Example

  1. Install mdBook: $ cargo install mdbook
  2. Build the book, open it in a browser and build after file changes: $ mdbook serve --open
