* node/approval-voting: Introduce Backend trait and Overlaybackend

This commit introduces a Backend trait and attempts to move away
from the Action model via an OverlayBackend as in the ChainSelection
subsystem.

* node/approval-voting: Add WriteOps for StoredBlockRange and BlocksAtHeight

* node/approval-voting: Add load_all_blocks to overlay

* node/approval-voting: Get all module tests to pass.

This commit modifies all tests to ensure tests are passing.

* node/approval-voting: Address oversights in the previous commit

This commit addresses some oversights in the prior commit.

1. Inner errors in backend.write were swallowed
2. One-off write functions removed to avoid useless abstraction
3. Touch-ups in general

* node/approval-voting: Move from TestDB to dyn KeyValueDB

This commit removes the TestDB from tests.rs and replaces it with
an in-memory kvdb.

* node/approval-voting: Address feedback

* node/approval-voting: Add license to ops.rs

* node/approval-voting: Address second-pass feedback

* Add TODO

* node/approval-voting: Bump spec_version

* node/approval-voting: Address final comments.

* node/approval-voting: Introduce framework for full subsystem tests

* node/approval-voting: Introduce basic tests to attempt to provide
coverage via full subsystem tests

* Ensure that we fetch another collation if the first collation was invalid

* Feedback

* Only send one collation per relay parent at a time to validators

This changes the way we are sending collations to validators. Before we
answered every collation request immediatley. Now we only answer one
pov request at a time per relay parent. This should bring down the
bandwidth requirements and should help parachains to include bigger
blocks more easily.

* Guide updates

* Review feedback.

* Use wasm-builder from git

This brings new features like compressed runtimes out of the box.

* chore: update wasm builder dep. from 3.0.0 to master

* Fix tests

* node/approval-voting: Introduce LruCache for pending Approval work

This commit adds an LruCache that is intended to track the approval work
submitted as background tasks in order to ensure that the validator needn't
launch duplicate approval work for the same candidate across multiple blocks.
A simple state machine is also introduced in order to differentiate pending
and completed tasks. In addition, this LruCache will retain ValidationResults
from the completed approval work once the task has completed. As per LruCache
implementation, the oldest tasks will get evicted as new approval work is
submitted to this cache.

* node/approval-voting: Revert changes to master

This commit reverts changes from the previous commit in order
to simplify addressing the architecture discussion raised in the PR.

* node/approval-voting: remove background task mpsc construct

This diff removes the mpsc construct for background tasks in preparation
for a move to leveraging RemoteHandles to launch approvals, rather than
passing ApprovalRequests to a mpsc channel and handling the ApprovalRequests
in the main subsystem task.

* node/approval-voting: Introduce LRU Cache

This commit introduces an LRU Cache but does not yet make use of it.

* node/approval-voting: Remove BackgroundTasksMap and memoize currently_checking

This commit removes the BackgroundTasksMap in the main subsystem task
and introduces a method to keep track of RemoteHandles in such a way that
we can ensure that a task is spawned once for a CandidateHash and
relay parent tuple.

* node/approval-voting: Remove BackgroundTasksMap and memoize currently_checking

This commit removes the BackgroundTasksMap in the main subsystem task
and introduces a map of FuturesUnordered per BlockNumber. In addition,
a FusedFuture is generated by iterating across all FuturesUnordered for
the BlockNumbers for which at least one candidate has approvals work
running in the subsystem.

* node/approval-voting: Address Rob's comments

This diff removes the prior HashMap<BlockNumber, FuturesUnordered>
construction and instead moves to a simple FuturesUnordered where
all the work is await with Timeout.

* node/approval-voting: Update Cargo.lock

Due to a mismatch in rustc versions

* node/approval-voting: Make use of actions when issuing_approval

This commit fixes a small oversight in the logic of the prior commit.

* node/approval-voting: Address Rob's feedback

* node/approval-voting: Introduce lazy launch_approval evaluation

* node/approval-voting: Send DistibruteApproval message on every LaunchApproval

In addition to fixed the DistributeApproval bug, this commit also
increases the size of the approvals cache and ensures the StaleGuard
is removed when the advantageous approval state is reached.

* node/approval-voting: Address final comments

This commit removes the CandidateIndex from the ApprovalVoteRequest.
Instead, the launch_approval function will compute the candidate_index
from the block entry.

In addition, a comment has been added explaining the difficulty of
issuing approvals in the handle_actions function.

* node/approval-voting: Set timeout to be 120s rather than 2s

* Update Cargo.lock

* Dispute distribution initial design.

* WIP.

* Dispute distribution guide update.

* make spawn sync

* improve error type

* Only fetch one collation at a time per relay parent

Before a validator would fetch all collations that were advertised to
him. This pr changes the behavior to always just fetch one collation at
a time. If fetching fails, the validator will start fetching one of the
other collations.
