Release v1.39.0

Good day Lodestar operators! We've just released v1.39.0 and recommend users update for the latest features and best performance.

We've migrated to using pNPM as our package manager, which requires users who build from source to install pNPM and clean their node_modules folder to prevent conflicts.

To migrate, run the following:

• npm install -g pnpm
• pnpm clean:nm

This will prep the repository for normal command execution.

For Obol validators: Please upgrade to this latest Lodestar validator client version together alongside your cluster operators to prevent any issues with attestation aggregations on your cluster.

This release removes legacy eth1 related code and can no longer produce blocks with deposits pre-Electra, but syncing is still functional. If you use any --eth1.* flags, they will no longer have any effect. This version will no longer support starting a chain pre-Electra.
