    Enable mainnet system parachains to use async backing-enabled collator (#3630) · f13408d5
    s0me0ne-unkn0wn authored
    This is phase 2 of async backing enablement for the system parachains on
    the production networks. ~~It should be merged after
    polkadot-fellows/runtimes#228 is enacted. After it is released,~~ all
    the system parachain collators should be upgraded, and then we can
    proceed with phase 3, which will enable async backing in the runtimes.
    
    UPDATE: Indeed, we don't need to wait for the runtime upgrade enactions.
    The lookahead collator handles the transition by itself, so we can
    upgrade ASAP.
    
    ## Scope of changes
    
    Here, we eliminate the dichotomy of having "generic Aura collators" for
    the production system parachains and "lookahead Aura collators" for the
    testnet system parachains. Now, all the collators are started as
    lookahead ones, preserving the logic of transferring from the shell node
    to Aura-enabled collators for the asset hubs. So, indeed, it simplifies
    the parachain service logic, which cannot but rejoice.
