This PR changes how we call runtime API methods with more than 6
arguments: They are no longer spilled to the stack but packed into
registers instead. Pointers are 32 bit wide so we can pack two of them
into a single 64 bit register. Since we mostly pass pointers, this
technique effectively increases the number of arguments we can pass
using the available registers.

To make this work for `instantiate` too we now pass the code hash and
the call data in the same buffer, akin to how the `create` family
opcodes work in the EVM. The code hash is fixed in size, implying the
start of the constructor call data.

Improve debugging by using `#[track_caller]` in system `assert_last_event` and `assert_has_event` (#7142)

Without track caller the error message of the assert points to the
`assert_last_event` function, which is not useful.

# Derived Dev Accounts

Resolves https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/issues/6040

## Description
This update introduces support for creating an arbitrary number of
developer accounts at the genesis block based on a specified derivation
path. This functionality is gated by the runtime-benchmarks feature,
ensuring it is only enabled during benchmarking scenarios.

### Key Features
- Arbitrary Dev Accounts at Genesis: Developers can now specify any
number of accounts to be generated at genesis using a hard derivation
path.

- Default Derivation Path: If no derivation path is provided (i.e., when
`Option<dev_accounts: (..., None)>` is set to `Some` at genesis), the
system will default to the path `//Sender//{}`.

- No Impact on Total Token Issuance: Developer accounts are excluded
from the total issuance of the token supply at genesis, ensuring they do
not affect the overall balance or token distribution.

decimals
- Remove the precise code length estimation in dry run call.
Over-estimating is fine, since extra gas is refunded anyway.
- Ensure that the estimated fee calculated from gas_price x gas use the
encoded weight & deposit limit instead of the exact one calculated by
the dry-run. Else we can end up with a fee that is lower than the actual

This PR enforces that outbound requests are finished within the
specified protocol timeout.

The stable2412 version running libp2p 0.52.4 contains a bug which does
not track request timeouts properly:
- https://github.com/libp2p/rust-libp2p/pull/5429

The issue has been detected while submitting libp2p -> litep2p requests
in kusama. This aims to check that pending outbound requests have not
timedout. Although the issue has been fixed in libp2p, there might be
other cases where this may happen. For example:
- https://github.com/libp2p/rust-libp2p/pull/5417

For more context see:
https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/issues/7076#issuecomment-2596085096


1. Ideally, the force-timeout mechanism in this PR should never be
triggered in production. However, origin/stable2412 occasionally
encounters this issue. When this happens, 2 warnings may be generated:
- one warning introduced by this PR wrt force timeout terminating the
request
- possible one warning when the libp2p decides (if at all) to provide
the response back to substrate (as mentioned by @alexggh
[here](https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/pull/7222/files#diff-052aeaf79fef3d9a18c2cfd67006aa306b8d52e848509d9077a6a0f2eb856af7L769)
and
[here](https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/pull/7222/files#diff-052aeaf79fef3d9a18c2cfd67006aa306b8d52e848509d9077a6a0f2eb856af7L842)

2. This implementation does not propagate to the substrate service the
`RequestFinished { error: .. }`. That event is only used internally by
substrate to increment metrics. However, we don't have the peer
information available to propagate the event properly when we
force-timeout the request. Considering this should most likely not
happen in production (origin/master) and that we'll be able to extract
information by warnings, I would say this is a good tradeoff for code
simplicity:


https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/blob/06e3b5c6

/substrate/client/network/src/service.rs#L1543


### Testing

Added a new test to ensure the timeout is reached properly, even if
libp2p does not produce a response in due time.

I've also transitioned the tests to using `tokio::test` due to a
limitation of
[CI](https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/actions/runs/12832055737/job/35784043867)

## Description

The `frame-benchmarking-cli` crate has not been buildable without the
`rocksdb` feature since version 1.17.0.

**Error:**  
```rust
self.database()?.unwrap_or(Database::RocksDb),
                             ^^^^^^^ variant or associated item not found in `Database`
```

This issue is also related to the `rocksdb` feature bleeding (#3793),
where the `rocksdb` feature was always activated even when compiling
this crate with `--no-default-features`.

**Fix:**  
- Resolved the error by choosing `paritydb` as the default database when
compiled without the `rocksdb` feature.
- Fixed the issue where the `sc-cli` crate's `rocksdb` feature was
always active, even compiling `frame-benchmarking-cli` with
`--no-default-features`.

## Review Notes

Fix the crate to be built without rocksdb, not intended to solve #3793.

Migrate staking currency from `traits::LockableCurrency` to
`traits::fungible::holds`.

Resolves part of https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/issues/226.

## Changes
### Nomination Pool
TransferStake is now incompatible with fungible migration as old pools
were not meant to have additional ED. Since they are anyways deprecated,
removed its usage from all test runtimes.

### Staking
- Config: `Currency` becomes of type `Fungible` while `OldCurrency` is
the `LockableCurrency` used before.
- Lazy migration of accounts. Any ledger update will create a new hold
with no extra reads/writes. A permissionless extrinsic
`migrate_currency()` releases the old `lock` along with some
housekeeping.
- Staking now requires ED to be left free. It also adds no consumer to
staking accounts.
- If hold cannot be applied to all stake, the un-holdable part is force
withdrawn from the ledger.

### Delegated Staking
The pallet does not add provider for agents anymore.

## Migration stats
### Polkadot
Total accounts that can be migrated: 59564
Accounts failing to migrate: 0
Accounts with stake force withdrawn greater than ED: 59
Total force withdrawal: 29591.26 DOT

### Kusama
Total accounts that can be migrated: 26311
Accounts failing to migrate: 0
Accounts with stake force withdrawn greater than ED: 48
Total force withdrawal: 1036.05 KSM


[Full logs here](https://hackmd.io/@ak0n/BklDuFra0).

## Note about locks (freeze) vs holds
With locks or freezes, staking could use total balance of an account.
But with holds, the account needs to be left with at least Existential
Deposit in free balance. This would also affect nomination pools which
till now has been able to stake all funds contributed to it. An
alternate version of this PR is
https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/pull/5658 where staking
pallet does not add any provider, but means pools and delegated-staking
pallet has to provide for these accounts and makes the end to end logic
(of provider and consumer ref) lot less intuitive and prone to bug.

This PR now introduces requirement for stakers to maintain ED in their
free balance. This helps with removing the bug prone incrementing and
decrementing of consumers and providers.

## TODO
- [x] Test: Vesting + governance locked funds can be staked.
- [ ] can `Call::restore_ledger` be removed? @gpestana 
- [x] Ensure unclaimed withdrawals is not affected by no provider for
pool accounts.
- [x] Investigate kusama accounts with balance between 0 and ED.
- [x] Permissionless call to release lock.
- [x] Migration of consumer (dec) and provider (inc) for direct stakers.
- [x] force unstake if hold cannot be applied to all stake.
- [x] Fix try state checks (it thinks nothing is staked for unmigrated
ledgers).
- [x] Bench `migrate_currency`.
- [x] Virtual Staker migration test.

Closes #3149 

## Description

This PR introduces `pallet-asset-rewards`, which allows accounts to be
rewarded for freezing `fungible` tokens. The motivation for creating
this pallet is to allow incentivising LPs.

See the pallet docs for more info about the pallet.

## Runtime changes

The pallet has been added to
- `asset-hub-rococo`
- `asset-hub-westend`

The `NativeAndAssets` `fungibles` Union did not contain `PoolAssets`, so
it has been renamed `NativeAndNonPoolAssets`

A new `fungibles` Union `NativeAndAllAssets` was created to encompass
all assets and the native token.

## TODO
- [x] Emulation tests
- [x] Fill in Freeze logic (blocked
https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/issues/3342) and re-run

This PR provides the partial results of the `GetRecord` kademlia query.

This significantly improves the authority discovery records, from ~37
minutes to ~2/3 minutes.
In contrast, libp2p discovers authority records in around ~10 minutes. 

The authority discovery was slow because litep2p provided the records
only after the Kademlia query was completed. A normal Kademlia query
completes in around 40 seconds to a few minutes.
In this PR, partial records are provided as soon as they are discovered
from the network.

### Testing Done

Started a node in Kusama with `--validator` and litep2p backend.
The node discovered 996/1000 authority records in ~ 1 minute 45 seconds.

Add an option to persist EVM transaction hash to a SQL db.
This should make it possible to run a full archive ETH RPC node
(assuming the substrate node is also a full archive node)

Some queries such as eth_getTransactionByHash,
eth_getBlockTransactionCountByHash, and other need to work with a
transaction hash indexes, which are not stored in Substrate and need to
be stored by the eth-rpc proxy.

The refactoring break down the Client into a `BlockInfoProvider` and
`ReceiptProvider`
- BlockInfoProvider does not need any persistence data, as we can fetch
all block info from the source substrate chain
- ReceiptProvider comes in two flavor, 
  - An in memory cache implementation - This is the one we had so far.
- A DB implementation - This one persist rows with the block_hash, the
transaction_index and the transaction_hash, so that we can later fetch
the block and extrinsic for that receipt and reconstruct the ReceiptInfo
object.

This PR also adds ...

This PR adds the `(litep2p)` suffix to the agent version (user agent) of
the identify protocol.

The change is needed to gain visibility into network backends and
determine exactly the number of validators that are running litep2p.
Using tools like subp2p-explorer, we can determine if the validators are
running litep2p nodes.

This reflects on the identify protocol:

```
info=Identify {
  protocol_version: Some("/substrate/1.0"),
  agent_version: Some("polkadot-parachain/v1.17.0-967989c5

 (kusama-node-name-01) (litep2p)")
  ...
}
