Proposed Changes

This PR deletes all remote_signer code from Lighthouse, for the following reasons:

Although the code is deleted it remains in the Git history should we ever want to recover it. For ease of reference:

  • The last commit containing remote signer code: 5a3bcd2
  • The last Lighthouse version: v1.5.1

Yeah, good call. I was also planning to do this. The remote signer never quite managed to get off the ground unfortunately :( #2522 is going to solve our immediate remote signing needs and it doesn't require this code.

## Proposed Changes

This PR deletes all `remote_signer` code from Lighthouse, for the following reasons:

* The `remote_signer` code is unused, and we have no plans to use it now that we're moving to supporting the Web3Signer APIs: #2522
* It represents a significant maintenance burden. The HTTP API tests have been prone to platform-specific failures, and breakages due to dependency upgrades, e.g. #2400.

Although the code is deleted it remains in the Git history should we ever want to recover it. For ease of reference:

- The last commit containing remote signer code: 5a3bcd2
- The last Lighthouse version: v1.5.1
