generalizing attsim #11

Description
attsim's initial goal was to simulate the network-wide improvements we'd expect to see on mainnet after optimizing Prysm's validation pipeline: OffchainLabs/prysm#15882
That said, we always had an eye on generalizing attsim so it can serve as a basis for simulating new attestation broadcast protocols and topologies.
In my view, this second goal requires, at least:
- Simulating entire networks, not just a single subnet.
- Generalizing the topology formation, so that we can arrange nodes under different configurations (e.g. number of sunets, number of subscriptions per node, etc.)
- Parameterizing the publish, so that we can test different strategies and fanouts.
- Some basic awareness of attestation semantics, e.g. to simulate attestation aggreation at origin
Dropping a whiteboard with some dirty sketches -- not super informational in itself, but useful as a future reference for discussions
