This PR fixes two things:
- relax `force_default_xcm_version` for testnet system parachains (e.g.
BridgeHubWestend has now 2 and there is no way to change it to 3, so we
need to call `force_xcm_version(3)` for every parachain that it is
connected to, because we send XCMv3 messages)
- add `Storage` item to `PolkadotXcm` pallet definition (now we cannot
see storage items for `pallet_xcm` in PJS)


## TODO

- [ ] when merged open PR to `polkadot-fellows/runtimes` repo

# Description

Sometimes changing file descriptor limits is not allowed, but there is
no need to crash the node if/when this happens. Since `fdlimit`'s author
decided to use panics instead of returning `Result`, we need to catch
it.

Fix some incorrect doc-comments

The `lazy_static` package does not work well in `no-std`: it requires
`spin_no_std` feature, which also will propagate into `std` if enabled.
This is not what we want.

This PR provides simple address uri parser which allows to get rid of
_regex_ which was used to parse the address uri, what in turns allows to
remove lazy_static.

Three regular expressions
(`SS58_REGEX`,`SECRET_PHRASE_REGEX`,`JUNCTION_REGEX`) were replaced with
the parser which unifies all of them.

The new parser does not support Unicode, it is ASCII only.

- save the state of the BEEFY gadget after processing a finality proof.
We need this in order to avoid skipping blocks.
- avoid reprocessing the old state when not necessary

Addresses a bug caused by
https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/pull/1189. The changes are
still not released yet, so would like to push the fix soon so it can go
together with the release of the above PR.

`fast_unstake` checks if a staker is exposed in an era. However, this fn
is still returning whether the staker is exposed based on the old
storage item. This PR fixes that by looking in both old and new exposure
storages.

Also adds some integrity tests for paged exposures.

New release includes logic to move all jobs to `spot instances`.
Thx!

The versioned migrations are already there in pallet nomination-pools:

Just updating the kitchensink runtime to point to them.

This is also nice because it points the dev to an example of how to use
`VersionedMigration`.

Westend now successfully updated to `spec: 103000`, we **have to
remove** the session keys migration before the next release as it
doesn't gracefully handle reapplying it.

Since preparation for the merge queues needs more time I'm enabling
zombienet jobs in PRs CI back.

Adds a function for querying the last runtime upgrade spec version. This
can be useful for when writing runtime level migrations to ensure that
they are not executed multiple times. An example would be a session key
migration.

Refunding surplus happens anyway on xcm_executor::post_process(),
automatically refunding surplus to original_origin at the end of
execution. Since SovereignPaidRemoteExporter doesn't ClearOrigin, it can
simply rely on the automatic mechanism.

Furthermore, RefundSurplus instruction refunds _surplus_. Surplus exists
only as a result of Transact, SetErrorHandler or SetAppendix
instructions, none of which being part of the
SovereignPaidRemoteExporter XCM program. So surplus is always zero here
anyway.

The removal of system parachain native runtimes #1737 is blocked until

The goal of this PR is to migrate Identity deposits from the Relay Chain
to a system parachain.

The problem I want to solve is that `IdentityOf` and `SubsOf` both store
an amount that's held in reserve as a storage deposit. When migrating to
a parachain, we can take a snapshot of the actual `IdentityInfo` and
sub-account mappings, but should migrate (off chain) the `deposit`s to
zero, since the chain (and by extension, accounts) won't have any funds
at genesis.

The good news is that we expect parachain deposits to be significantly
lower (possibly 100x) on the parachain. That is, a deposit of 21 DOT on
the Relay Chain would need 0.21 DOT on a parachain. This PR proposes to
migrate the deposits in the following way:

1. Introduces a new pallet with two extrinsics: 
- `reap_identity`: Has a configurable `ReapOrigin`, which would be set
to `EnsureSigned` on the Relay Chain (i.e. callable by anyone) and
`EnsureRoot` on the parachain (we don't want identities reaped from
there).
- `poke_deposit`: Checks what deposit the pallet holds (at genesis,
zero) and attempts to update the amount based on the calculated deposit
for storage data.
2. `reap_identity` clears all storage data for a `target` account and
unreserves their deposit.
3. A `ReapIdentityHandler` teleports the necessary DOT to the parachain
and calls `poke_deposit`. Since the parachain deposit is much lower, and
was just unreserved, we know we have enough.

One awkwardness I ran into was that the XCMv3 instruction set does not
provide a way for the system to teleport assets without a fee being
deducted on reception. Users shouldn't have to pay a fee for the system
to migrate their info to a more efficient location. So I wrote my own
program and did the `InitiateTeleport` accounting on my own to send a
program with `UnpaidExecution`. Have discussed an
`InitiateUnpaidTeleport` instruction with @franciscoaguirre . Obviously
any chain executing this would have to pass a `Barrier` for free
execution.

Disallow reserve transfers that use teleportable fees if `(origin,
fees)` matches `XcmTeleportFilter`.

Add regression tests for filtering based on `XcmTeleportFilter` for both
`(limited_)reserve_transfer_assets()` and `(limited_)teleport_assets`
extrinsics.

This PR introduces:
- XCM  host functions `xcm_send`, `xcm_execute`
- An Xcm trait into the config. that proxy these functions to to
`pallet_xcm`, or disable their usage by using `()`.
- A mock_network and xcm_test files to test the newly added xcm-related
functions.

Adds a `NodeFeatures` bitfield value to the runtime `HostConfiguration`,
with the purpose of coordinating the enabling of node-side features,
such as: https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/issues/628 and
https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/issues/598.
These are features that require all validators enable them at the same
time, assuming all/most nodes have upgraded their node versions.

This PR doesn't add any feature yet. These are coming in future PRs.

Also adds a runtime API for querying the state of the client features
and an extrinsic for setting/unsetting a feature by its index in the bitfield.

Port of cumulus PR https://github.com/paritytech/cumulus/pull/2960

This PR adds the ability to bid for collator slots even after the max
number of collators have already registered. This eliminates the first
come, first served mechanism that was in place before.

Key changes:
- added `update_bond` extrinsic to allow registered candidates to adjust
their bonds in order to dynamically control their bids
- added `take_candidate_slot` extrinsic to try to replace an already
existing candidate by bidding more than them
- candidates are now kept in a sorted list in the pallet storage, where
the top `DesiredCandidates` out of `MaxCandidates` candidates in the
list will be selected by the session pallet as collators
- if the candidacy bond is increased through a `set_candidacy_bond`
call, candidates which don't meet the new bond requirements are kicked

add details in `--dev` flag to tell that it disables local peer

### Context

When adding automated end-to-end tests, we replaced `--dev` by 

```
`--chain=dev`, `--force-authoring`, `--rpc-cors=all`, `--alice`, and `--tmp` flags
```

as stated in the command line documentation. But the tests started
failing due to the nodes connecting to each other.

### Fix

This PR includes additional command line documentation to explain more
in detail what `--dev` flag inludes.

See issue comments for more details about this storage.

## Problem/Motivation
The benchmark for the `ExpectPallet` XCM instruction uses a hard-coded
version `4.0.0` for the `frame_system` pallet. Unfortunately, this
doesn't work for the `polkadot-fellows/runtimes` repository, where we
use dependencies from `crates.io`, e.g.,
[frame-system::23.0.0.0](https://github.com/polkadot-fellows/runtimes/blob/dd7f86f0d50064481ed0b7c0218494a5cfad997e/relay/kusama/Cargo.toml#L83).

Closes: https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/issues/2284 

## Solution
This PR fixes the benchmarks that require pallet information and enables
the runtime to provide the correct/custom pallet information. The
default implementation provides `frame_system::Pallet` with index `0`,
where the version is not hard-coded but read from the runtime.


## Local testing

Added log for `T::valid_pallet` to the benchmarks like:
```
let valid_pallet = T::valid_pallet();
log::info!(
	target: "frame::benchmark::pallet",
	"valid_pallet: {}::{}::{}::{}::{}",
	valid_pallet.index,
	valid_pallet.module_name,
	valid_pallet.crate_version.major,
	valid_pallet.crate_version.minor,
	valid_pallet.crate_version.patch,
);
```

Run benchmarks for `westend`:
```
cargo run --bin=polkadot --features=runtime-benchmarks -- benchmark pallet --steps=2 --repeat=1 --extrinsic=* --heap-pages=4096 --json-file=./bench.json --chain=westend-dev --template=./polkadot/xcm/pallet-xcm-benchmarks/template.hbs --pallet=pallet_xcm_benchmarks::generic --output=./polkadot/runtime/westend/src/weights/xcm

BEEFY ECDSA signatures are on keccak has of the messages. As such we can
not simply call

`EcdsaBlsPair::verify(signature.as_inner_ref(), msg,
self.as_inner_ref())`

because that invokes ecdsa default verification which perfoms blake2
hash which we don't want.

This bring up the second issue makes: This makes `sign` and `verify`
function in `pair_crypto` useless, at least for BEEFY use case.
Moreover, there is no obvious clean way to generate the signature given
that pair_crypto does not exposes `sign_prehashed`. You could in theory
query the keystore for the pair (could you?), invoke `to_raw` and
re-generate each sub-pair and sign using each. But that sounds extremely
anticlimactic and will be frow upon by auditors . So I appreciate any
alternative suggestion.

Collators were previously reencoding the available data and checking the
erasure root.
Replace that with just checking the PoV hash, which consumes much less
CPU and takes less time.

We also don't need to check the `PersistedValidationData` hash, as
collators don't use it.

Reason:
https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/issues/575#issuecomment-1806572230



After systematic chunks recovery is merged, collators will no longer do
any reed-solomon encoding/decoding, which has proven to be a great CPU
consumer.
