Bump modules to deal with the Nim 1.2 upgrade

[zah]

Work in progress. Many modules don't compile yet.

[arnetheduck]

this is wip/don't merge though until 1.2 is released?

[zah]

Yes (the submodules bumped here are the ones that already work fine with 1.2)

[tersec]

To what extent do the bumped modules also work with Nim 1.0.6?

[zah]

I've tried to make sure that everything with merged commits to master also works in 1.0.6. Some submodules require changes specific to Nim 1.2 and I've created branches named nim-1.2 in all such submodules.

this is the error message from CI

[Suite] Official - Sanity - Slots  [Preset: minimal]
D:\a\1\s\vendor\nimbus-build-system\vendor\Nim\lib\system\fatal.nim(49) sysFatal

    Unhandled exception: D:\a\1\s\tests\helpers\debug_state.nim(51, 13) `stateRef.slot == postRef.slot` 
Diff: stateRef.slot = 226486149642715137
and   postRef.slot = 16
 [AssertionError]

and this is what I get locally:

similar error but the stateRef.slot value is different. is this something expected? I'm a bit confused.

same thing happened to [Preset: mainnet]

# CI value:
Diff: stateRef.slot = 302484994650013697
and   postRef.slot = 64

# local value
Diff: stateRef.slot = 9397289341572612097
and   postRef.slot = 64

Heap corruption on 32-bit?

64-bit Linux also shows different slot values (added debug prints locally): (I was printing the slots before process_slots())

[stefantalpalaru]

It's not Windows specific. 64-bit Linux host targetting 32-bit:
