still need to support unupgraded chains (BHK and BHP) in relay

We may need to revert this change when all chains are upgraded

Closes #4272.

It turned out that not only the node part but also the runtime wasn't
async backing ready. Now, both of them are using proper APIs and
producing 6-second blocks out of the box.

This PR backports version bumps and reorganization of the `prdocs` from
`1.11.0` release branch back to master

HRMP - set `DefaultChannelSizeAndCapacityWithSystem` with dynamic values according to the `ActiveConfig` (#4332)

## Summary
This PR enhances the capability to set
`DefaultChannelSizeAndCapacityWithSystem` for HRMP. Currently, all
testnets (Rococo, Westend) have a hard-coded value set as 'half of the
maximum' determined by the live `ActiveConfig`. While this approach
appears satisfactory, potential issues could arise if the live
`ActiveConfig` are adjusted below these hard-coded values, necessitating
a new runtime release with updated values. Additionally, hard-coded
values have consequences, such as Rococo's benchmarks not functioning:
https://gitlab.parity.io/parity/mirrors/polkadot-sdk/-/jobs/6082656.

## Solution
The proposed solution here is to utilize
`ActiveConfigHrmpChannelSizeAndCapacityRatio`, which reads the current
`ActiveConfig` and calculates `DefaultChannelSizeAndCapacityWithSystem`,
for example, "half of the maximum" based on live data. This way,
whenever `ActiveConfig` is modified,
`ActiveConfigHrmpChannelSizeAndCapacityRatio` automatically returns
adjusted values with the appropriate ratio. Thus, manual adjustments and
new runtime releases become unnecessary.

For #1903 we will need to add a Fisherman struct. This PR:
- defines a basic version of `Fisherman` and moves into it the logic
that we have now for reporting double voting equivocations
- splits the logic for generating the key ownership proofs into a more
generic separate method
- renames `EquivocationProof` to `DoubleVotingProof` since later we will
introduce a new type of equivocation

The PR doesn't contain any functional changes

This PR makes a few improvements in the docs for the minimal template.

This PR does a "developer experience" refactor of the XCM Simulator
Example.

I was looking for existing code / documentation where developers could
better learn about working with and configuring XCM.

The XCM Simulator was a natural starting point due to the fact that it
can emulate end to end XCM scenarios, without needing to spawn multiple
real chains.

However, the XCM Simulator Example was just 3 giant files with a ton of
configurations, runtime, pallets, and tests mashed together.

This PR breaks down the XCM Simulator Example in a way that I believe is
more approachable by a new developer who is looking to navigate the
various components of the end to end example, and modify it themselves.

The basic structure is:

- xcm simulator example
    - lib (tries to only use the xcm simulator macros)
    - tests
    - relay-chain
        - mod (basic runtime that developers should be familiar with)
        - xcm-config
            - mod (contains the `XcmConfig` type
            - various files for each custom configuration  
    - parachain
        - mock_msg_queue (custom pallet for simulator example)
        - mod (basic runtime that developers should be familiar with)
        - xcm-config
            - mod (contains the `XcmConfig` type
            - various files for each custom configuration

I would like to add more documentation to this too, but I think this is
a first step to be accepted which will affect how documentation is added
to the example

Some traits are already included in the 2021 prelude and so shouldn't be
needed to use explicitly:

use `convert::TryFrom`, `convert::TryInto`, and `iter::FromIterator` are
removed.

( https://doc.rust-lang.org/core/prelude/rust_2021/ )

No breaking changes or change of functionality, so I think no PR doc is
needed in this case.

(Motivation: Removes some references to `sp-std`)

closes https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/issues/426.
related to https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/pull/1189.

Would help offchain programs to query if there are unclaimed pages of
rewards for a given era.

The logic could look like below

```js
// loop as long as all era pages are claimed.
while (api.call.stakingApi.pendingRewards(era, validator_stash)) {
  api.tx.staking.payout_stakers(validator_stash, era)
}
```

Just the upper-stream for
https://github.com/Snowfork/polkadot-sdk/pull/137 and more context
there.

Disabling strategy specification

13/02/2024)

Implements:

Removes:
* `DisableStrategy` enum - now each validator committing an offence is
disabled.
* New era is not forced if too many validators are disabled.

Before this PR not all offenders were disabled. A decision was made
based on [`enum

This PR includes two changes:
- added `workflow_dispatch` to review bot
- reverted #4271

### Added `workflow_dispatch` to review bot
This allows us, in the case that review-bot fails for some fork reasons,
to trigger it manually ensuring that we can overcame the problem with
the multiple actions while we look for a solution.

<img width="342" alt="image"

### Reverted #4271
Unfortunately, the changes added in #4271 do not work in forks.

Here is a lengthy discussion of many individuals facing the same problem
as me:
- [GitHub Action `pull_request` attribute empty in `workflow_run` event
object for PR from forked repo
#25220](https://github.com/orgs/community/discussions/25220)

So I had to revert it (but I updated the dependencies to latest).

#### Miscellaneous changes

I added a debug log at the end of review bot in case it fails so we ca...

TODOs:
- [x] wait and see if test `1` works;
- [x] ~think of whether we need remaining tests.~ I think we should keep
it - will try to revive and update it

There are some accounts that do not have a consumer ref while having a
reserve.
This adds a fail-safe mechanism to trigger in the case that
`does_consume` is true, but the assumption of `consumer>0` is not.

This should prevent those accounts from loosing balance and the TI from
getting messed up even more, but is not an "ideal" fix. TBH an ideal fix
is not possible, since on-chain data is in an invalid state.

The solochain template links to parachain template instead of solochain.

Should help us to understand more what's happening between individual
runs and possibly adjust the number of runs

Makes https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/pull/4035 easier to
review

Currently, PVFs are re-prepared if any execution environment parameter
changes. As we've recently seen on Kusama and Polkadot, that may lead to
a severe finality lag because every validator has to re-prepare every
PVF. That cannot be avoided altogether; however, we could cease
re-preparing PVFs when a change in the execution environment can't lead
to a change in the artifact itself. For example, it's clear that
changing the execution timeout cannot affect the artifact.

In this PR, I'm introducing a separate hash for the subset of execution
environment parameters that changes only if a preparation-related
parameter changes. It introduces some minor code duplication, but
without that, the scope of changes would be much bigger.

TODO:
- [x] Add a test to ensure the artifact is not re-prepared if
non-preparation-related parameter is changed
- [x] Add a test to ensure the artifact is re-prepared if a
preparation-related parameter is changed
- [x] Add comments, warnings, and, possibly, a test to ensure a new
parameter ever added to the executor environment parameters will be
evaluated by the author of changes with respect to its artifact
preparation impact and added to the new hash preimage if needed.

Closes #4132

... a few sessions too late :(, this already happened on polkadot, so as
of now there are no known relay-chains without async backing enabled in
runtime, but let's fix it in case someone else wants to repeat our
steps.

It seems that `review-trigger` is not uploading the artifact that is
used by `review-bot`, so I changed the PR-Number to be obtained by the
previous event that triggered this action.

I also took the liberty to replace `tibdex/github-app-token` for
`actions/create-github-app-token` which is GitHub's official app.

This PR:
- introduces `AllowHrmpNotificationsFromRelayChain` barrier for allowing
HRMP notifications just from the relay chain (to fulfill safety
assumptions -
[see](https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/blob/master/polkadot/xcm/src/v4/mod.rs#L532))
- sets it up for all testnet SP parachains

Continuation of: https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/pull/3696

Trying to split parts of the
https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/pull/1903 into smaller PRs

For https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/pull/1903 it would help
if `verify_with_validator_set()` returned the list of valid
authority-signatures pairs, since after the verification we need to send
them in the equivocation proof.

Seems like Externalities already [return a
vector](https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/blob/ffbce2a8

/substrate/primitives/externalities/src/lib.rs#L86),
so calling `to_vec` on a vector just results in an unneeded copying.

Change `transfer_assets_using_type()` to not assume `DepositAssets` as
the intended use of the assets on the destination.

Instead provides the caller with the ability to specify custom XCM that
be executed on `dest` chain as the last step of the transfer, thus
allowing custom usecases for the transferred assets. E.g. some are
used/swapped/etc there, while some are sent further to yet another
chain.

Note: this is a follow-up on
https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/pull/3695, bringing in an API
change for `transfer_assets_using_type()`. This is ok as the previous
version has not been yet released. Thus, its first release will include
the new API proposed by this PR.

This allows usecases such as:
https://forum.polkadot.network/t/managing-sas-on-multiple-reserve-chains-for-same-asset/7538/4

BTW: all this pallet-xcm asset transfers code will be massively reduced
once we have https://github.com/paritytech/xcm-format/pull/54
