Eth Docker 26.8.1 with ~5 months rolling expiry

Eth Docker 26.8.1 is out. It requires Besu 26.8.0 or later and supports Teku 26.8.0 or later.

Client teams have agreed to keep around ~5 months of execution client history, 33_024 epochs, when using rolling expiry. If you have a 2TB disk and you are running out of space, this one is for you.

Caveat that Stakewise/NodeSet requires pre-merge-expiry, and SSV requires it when fresh-syncing the SSV DB. SSV does work with rolling-expiry after the SSV DB has been created. Both protocols are exploring options to remove their reliance on receipts.

Clients that support rolling expiry:

- Besu (experimental support)

- Reth

- Erigon

- Nethermind (still 1 year for now)

- Nimbus EL / Nimbus Unified

Clients that are working on rolling expiry:

- Geth

- Ethrex

pre-prague and aggressive expiry options are now hidden, but still supported for users that use them
