What does this PR do? Why is it needed?
This PR introduces a new simulation suite (reward_and_penalty package) to rigorously test and verify the economic mechanics of the Beacon Chain.
It adds a Simulator that runs state transitions using altair.ProcessEpoch with mock validators, allowing us to:
Simulate Multi-Epoch Scenarios: Track balance changes, total issuance, and burn over time.
Target Specific Validators: Configure specific validator indices to miss attestations while still participating in Sync Committees or Block Proposals.
Test Inactivity Leaks: Verify that penalties scale quadratically when the network fails to finalize (e.g., simulating 40% offline).
Detailed Reporting: Output granular statistics per validator (Attestation/Sync/Proposer rewards vs penalties) and global network stats in both Gwei and Zond.
This is needed to ensure the stability of the reward/penalty logic and to provide a tool for verifying economic parameters under stress conditions without running a full testnet.
