Introduce subsystem benchmarking tool (#2528)
This tool makes it easy to run parachain consensus stress/performance testing on your development machine or in CI. ## Motivation The parachain consensus node implementation spans across many modules which we call subsystems. Each subsystem is responsible for a small part of logic of the parachain consensus pipeline, but in general the most load and performance issues are localized in just a few core subsystems like `availability-recovery`, `approval-voting` or `dispute-coordinator`. In the absence of such a tool, we would run large test nets to load/stress test these parts of the system. Setting up and making sense of the amount of data produced by such a large test is very expensive, hard to orchestrate and is a huge development time sink. ## PR contents - CLI tool - Data Availability Read test - reusable mockups and components needed so far - Documentation on how to get started ### Data Availability Read test An overseer is built with using a real `availability-recovery` susbsytem instance while dependent subsystems like `av-store`, `network-bridge` and `runtime-api` are mocked. The network bridge will emulate all the network peers and their answering to requests. The test is going to be run for a number of blocks. For each block it will generate send a “RecoverAvailableData” request for an arbitrary number of candidates. We wait for the subsystem to respond to all requests before moving to the next block. At the same time we collect the usual subsystem metrics and task CPU metrics and show some nice progress reports while running. ### Here is how the CLI looks like: ``` [2023-11-28T13:06:27Z INFO subsystem_bench::core::display] n_validators = 1000, n_cores = 20, pov_size = 5120 - 5120, error = 3, latency = Some(PeerLatency { min_latency: 1ms, max_latency: 100ms }) [2023-11-28T13:06:27Z INFO subsystem-bench::availability] Generating template candidate index=0 pov_size=5242880 [2023-11-28T13:06:27Z INFO subsystem-bench::availability] Created test environment.
