* pvf-precheck: Integrate PVF pre-checking into paras module Closes #4009 This is the most of the runtime-side change needed for #3211. Here is how it works. The PVF pre-checking can be triggered either by an upgrade or by onboarding (i.e. calling `schedule_para_initialize`). The PVF pre-checking process is identified by the PVF code hash that is being voted on. If there is already PVF pre-checking process running, then no new PVF pre-checking process will be started. Instead, we just subscribe to the existing one. If there is no PVF pre-checking process running but the PVF code hash was already saved in the storage, that necessarily means (I invite the reviewers to double-check this invariant) that the PVF already passed pre-checking. This is equivalent to instant approving of the PVF. The pre-checking process can be concluded either by obtaining a supermajority or if it expires. Each validator checks the list of PVFs available for voting. The vote is binary, i.e. accept or reject a given PVF. As soon as the supermajority of votes are collected for one of the sides of the vote, the voting is concluded in that direction and the effects of the voting are enacted. Only validators from the active set can participate in the vote. The set of active validators can change each session. That's why we reset the votes each session. A voting that observed a certain number of sessions will be rejected. The effects of the PVF accepting depend on the operations requested it: 1. All onboardings subscribed to the approved PVF pre-checking process will get scheduled and after passing 2 session boundaries they will be onboarded. 2. All upgrades subscribed to the approved PVF pre-checking process will get scheduled very similarly to the existing process. Upgrades with pre-checking are really the same process that is just delayed by the time required for pre-checking voting. In case of instant approval the mechanism is exactly the same. This is important from parachains compatibility standpoint since following the delayed upgrade requires the parachain to implement https://github.com/paritytech/cumulus/pull/517. In case, PVF pre-checking process was concluded with rejection, then all the requesting operations get cancelled. For onboarding it means it gets without movement: the lifecycle of such parachain is terminated on the `Onboarding` state and after rejection the lifecycle is none. That in turn means that the caller can attempt registering the parachain once more. For upgrading it means that the upgrade process is aborted: that flashes go-ahead signal with `Abort` flag. Rejection leads to removing the allegedly bad validation code from the chain storage. Among other things, this implies that the operation can be re-requested. That allows for retrying an operation in case there was some bug. At the same time it does not look as a DoS vector due to the caching performed by the nodes. PVF pre-checking can be enabled and disabled. Initially, according to the changes in #4420, this mechanism is disabled. Triggering the PVF pre-checking when it is disabled just means that we insta approve the requesting operation. This should lead to the behavior being unchanged.
