slot-based-collator: Allow multiple blocks per slot (#7569)
**Summary:** This PR enables authoring of multiple blocks in one AURA slot in the slot-based collator and stabilizes the slot-based collator. ## CLI Changes The flag `--experimental-use-slot-based` is now marked as deprecated. I opted to introduce `--authoring slot-based` instead of just removing the `experimental` prefix. By introducing the `authoring` variant, we get some future-proofing in case we want to introduce further options. ## Change Description With elastic-scaling, we are able to author multiple blocks with a single relay-chain parent. In the initial iteration, the interval between two blocks was determined by the `slot_duration` of the parachain. This PR introduces a more flexible model, where we try to author multiple blocks in a single slot if the runtime allows it. The block authoring loop is largely the same.
