pallet-xcm: add new flexible `transfer_assets()` call/extrinsic (#2388)
# Motivation (+testing) ### Enable easy `ForeignAssets` transfers using `pallet-xcm` We had just previously added capabilities to teleport fees during reserve-based transfers, but what about reserve-transferring fees when needing to teleport some non-fee asset? This PR aligns everything under either explicit reserve-transfer, explicit teleport, or this new flexible `transfer_assets()` which can mix and match as needed with fewer artificial constraints imposed to the user. This will enable, for example, a (non-system) parachain to teleport their `ForeignAssets` assets to AssetHub while using DOT to pay fees. (the assets are teleported - as foreign assets should from their owner chain - while DOT used for fees can only be reserve-based transferred between said parachain and AssetHub). Added `xcm-emulator` tests for this scenario ^. # Description Reverts `(limited_)reserve_transfer_assets` to only allow reserve-based transfers for all `assets` including fees. Similarly `(limited_)teleport_assets` only allows teleports for all `assets` including fees. For complex combinations of asset transfers where assets and fees may have different reserves or different reserve/teleport trust configurations, users can use the newly added `transfer_assets()` extrinsic which is more flexible in allowing more complex scenarios. `assets` (excluding `fees`) must have same reserve location or otherwise be teleportable to `dest`. No limitations imposed on `fees`. - for local reserve: transfer assets to sovereign account of destination chain and forward a notification XCM to `dest` to mint and deposit reserve-based assets to `beneficiary`. - for destination reserve: burn local assets and forward a notification to `dest` chain to withdraw the reserve assets from this chain's sovereign account and deposit them to `beneficiary`. - for remote reserve: burn local assets, forward XCM to reserve chain to move reserves from this chain's SA to `dest` chain's SA, and forward another XCM to `dest` to mint and deposit reserve-based assets to `beneficiary`. - for teleports: burn local assets and forward XCM to `dest` chain to mint/teleport assets and deposit them to `beneficiary`. ## Review notes Only around 500 lines are prod code (see `pallet_xcm/src/lib.rs`), the rest of the PR is new tests and improving existing tests. --------- Co-authored-by: command-bot <>
