Release v1.10.0

It's August! And Lodestar v1.10 is here! Two words: Performance upgrades. One of the biggest changes here is the NodeJS v20 upgrade. Please update your node environments accordingly - we no longer support anything before nodeJS v18.15.0. IPv6 is now supported. Lots of bug fixes and included bandwidth optimizations that are largely beneficial to larger node operators. For users, there is a --builder.selection=builderonly block proposal option for DVT users so you sign the same block through the relayer. If you've enabled doppelganger protection, the CLI flag has changed to --doppelgangerProtection to better align with other implementations.
