Enable mainnet system parachains to use async backing-enabled collator (#3630)
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.
