Silently skip deposits with invalid proof in process_deposit #589

What's wrong:

process_deposit has the

assert validate_proof_of_possession(...)

statement which aborts processing of the block containing a deposit with invalid proof resulting this block being invalid.
Thus a proposer needs to skip deposits with invalid proofs when composing a block. The same way malicious/incorrect proposer may skip a number of valid deposits.

Suggestion:

Include all deposits to blocks (this is verified by constantly incremented deposit index) but silently ignore deposits with invalid proofs on block transition: i.e. not change the validator registry/balances
