    Contracts: Add XCM traits to interface with contracts (#2086) · 6b7be115
    PG Herveou authored
    
    
    We are introducing a new set of `XcmController` traits (final name yet
    to be determined).
    These traits are implemented by `pallet-xcm` and allows other pallets,
    such as `pallet_contracts`, to rely on these traits instead of tight
    coupling them to `pallet-xcm`.
    
    Using only the existing Xcm traits would mean duplicating the logic from
    `pallet-xcm` in these other pallets, which we aim to avoid. Our
    objective is to ensure that when these APIs are called from
    `pallet-contracts`, they produce the exact same outcomes as if called
    directly from `pallet-xcm`.
    
    The other benefits is that we can also expose return values to
    `pallet-contracts` instead of just calling `pallet-xcm` dispatchable and
    getting a `DispatchResult` back.
    
    See traits integration in this PR
    https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/pull/1248, where the traits
    are used as follow to define and implement `pallet-contracts` Config.
    ```rs
    // Contracts config:
    pub trait Config: frame_system::Config {
      // ...
    
      /// A type that exposes XCM APIs, allowing contracts to interact with other parachains, and
      /// execute XCM programs.
      type Xcm: xcm_executor::traits::Controller<
    	  OriginFor<Self>,
    	  <Self as frame_system::Config>::RuntimeCall,
    	  BlockNumberFor<Self>,
      >;
    }
    
    // implementation
    impl pallet_contracts::Config for Runtime {
            // ...
    
    	type Xcm = pallet_xcm::Pallet<Self>;
    }
    ```
