Proposal to move communications to Discord

Rational: Unify communications into a service that can handle:

1. Notifications correctly
2. Support groups/channels
3. Have user roles
4. A place in which "jumping on a quick call" can be facilitated with ease (We could have an ETH2 "watercooler")

Naturally, Gitter does not meet any of these criteria efficiently. Recently the ETH1/ETH2 Javascript communications migrated to a Discord server where things can be neatly organized into respective sections;

1. Clients - All client teams can have their own respective channel
2. Spec - A place to discuss changes to the ongoing spec, perhaps even by version.
3. Research - Can be broken into the different phases
4. Tooling - Can be broken into szz, bls, libp2p, etc...

This would allow us to organize ourselves in a much better fashion, keep dialogue on track and ultimately be able to track things we want to track, with notifications.

Graffiti use-case in testing

Can we standardize the graffiti field (32 bytes in block body, any data) contents for testing? I.e. put the client vendor ID (to be assigned), node start timestamp, validator version, beacon node version, etc. in there, so we can easily track things on testnets? Maybe even networking details like node IPs, for more analysis? And then on mainnet we let it be real graffiti again, not revealing such data for privacy.

consider rotating call times like the Core Dev call has recently proposed?
