We've had weird failures in the past when building Nimbus software locally, ones like this:
error: cannot lock ref 'refs/remotes/origin/test/lsquic/dirs': 'refs/remotes/origin/test' exists; cannot create 'refs/remotes/origin/test/lsquic/dirs'
! [new branch] test/lsquic/dirs -> origin/test/lsquic/dirs (unable to update local ref)

Which block testing of new software versions on the fleets and require manual intervention.
Ever since the NBS module has been properly implemented in Nix in nimbus-eth2 and nimbus-eth1:
We can now drop the ugly build.sh script in favor of simply calling:
nix build 'git+https://github.com/status-im/nimbus-eth2?ref=testing&submodules=1#beacon_node'
To build latest testing branch commit. We should test this approach on a single Hoodi host to see how well it works.
In addition, we should implement a Consul check that confirms via REST API call that the current running node has a recent enough commit from its respective build branch, and if it's for example older than 1 day mark it as warning and more than 2 days as critical.
