Jimmy Chen 75aea7054c Enshrine head state shuffling in the shuffling_cache (#4296)
## Issue Addressed

#4281 

## Proposed Changes

- Change `ShufflingCache` implementation from using `LruCache` to a custom cache that removes entry with lowest epoch instead of oldest insertion time.
- Protect the "enshrined" head shufflings when inserting new committee cache entries. The shuffling ids matching the head's previous, current, and future epochs will never be ejected from the cache during `Self::insert_cache_item`.

## Additional Info

There is a bonus point on shuffling preferences in the issue description that hasn't been implemented yet, as I haven't figured out a good way to do this:

> However I'm not convinced since there are some complexities around tie-breaking when two entries have the same epoch. Perhaps preferring entries in the canonical chain is best? 

We should be able to check if a block is on the canonical chain by:

```rust
canonical_head
        .fork_choice_read_lock()
        .contains_block(root)
```

However we need to interleave the shuffling and fork choice locks, which may cause deadlocks if we're not careful (mentioned by @paulhauner). Alternatively, we could use the `state.block_roots` field of the `chain.canonical_head.snapshot.beacon_state`, which avoids deadlock but requires more work.

I'd like to get some feedback on review & testing before I dig deeper into the preferences stuff, as having the canonical head preference may already be quite useful in preventing the issue raised.

  • Fully open-source, licensed under Apache 2.0.
  • Security-focused. Fuzzing techniques have been continuously applied and several external security reviews have been performed.
  • Built in Rust, a modern language providing unique safety guarantees and excellent performance (comparable to C++).
  • Funded by various organisations, including Sigma Prime, the Ethereum Foundation, ConsenSys, the Decentralization Foundation and private individuals.
  • Actively involved in the specification and security analysis of the Ethereum proof-of-stake consensus specification.
