Rejoice! Rejoice! The story is nearly over.

This PR removes stale migrations, auxiliary structures, and package
dependencies, thus making Rococo and Westend totally free from any
`im-online`-related stuff.

`im-online` still stays a part of the Substrate node and its runtime:
https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/blob/0d932484/substrate/bin/node/runtime/src/lib.rs#L2276-L2277
I'm not sure if it makes sense to remove it from there considering that
we're not removing `im-online` from FRAME. Please share your opinion.

Runtime release 1.2 includes bumping of the ParachainHost APIs up to
v10, so let's move all the released APIs out of vstaging folder, this PR
does not include any logic changes only renaming of the modules and some
moving around.

Test started failing after
https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/commit/66051adb


which enabled approval coalescing, that was expected to happen because
the test required an polkadot_parachain_approval_checking_finality_lag
of 0, which can't happen with max_approval_coalesce_count greater than 1
because we always delay the approval for no_show_duration_ticks/2 in
case we can coalesce it with other approvals.


So relax a bit the restrictions, since we don't actually care that the
lags are 0, but the fact the finalities are progressing and are not
stuck.

The metric records the current protocol_version of the validator that
just connected with the peer_map.len(), which contains all peers that
connected, that has the effect the metric will be wrong since it won't
tell us how many peers we have connected per version because it will
always record the total number of peers

Fix this by counting by version inside peer_map, additionally because
that might be a bit heavier than len(), publish it only on-active
leaves.

Removes transient code introduced to clean up offchain database after
`im-online` pallet removal.

Should be merged after #2290 has been enacted.

Somehow https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/pull/3795 was merged
but tests are failing now on master. I suspect that CI is not even
running these tests anymore which is a big issue.

# Description

Since the binary split additional syscalls are getting blocked in
relation to the workers.

With the hardened systemd file it shows the following warning:

```
Cannot fully enable landlock, a Linux kernel security feature. Running validation of malicious PVF code has a higher risk of compromising this machine. Consider upgrading the kernel version for maximum security. status=Ok(NotEnforced) abi=1
```

For it to work we need to allow additionally:
- mount
- umount2
- pivot_root

and set `RestrictNamespaces=false`

Added new line `SystemCallFilter=pivot_root` because otherwise it would
get blocked by ~\@\privileged

This PR adds a new extrinsic `Call::restore_ledger ` gated by
`StakingAdmin` origin that restores a corrupted staking ledger. This
extrinsic will be used to recover ledgers that were affected by the
issue discussed in
https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/issues/3245.

The extrinsic will re-write the storage items associated with a stash
account provided as input parameter. The data used to reset the ledger
can be either i) fetched on-chain or ii) partially/totally set by the
input parameters of the call.

In order to use on-chain data to restore the staking locks, we need a
way to read the current lock in the balances pallet. This PR adds a
`InspectLockableCurrency` trait and implements it in the pallet
balances. An alternative would be to tightly couple staking with the
pallet balances but that's inelegant (an example of how it would look
like in [this
branch](https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/tree/gpestana/ledger-badstate-clean_tightly)).

More details on the type of corruptions and corresponding fixes
https://hackmd.io/DLb5jEYWSmmvqXC9ae4yRg?view#/

We verified that the `Call::restore_ledger` does fix all current
corrupted ledgers in Polkadot and Kusama. You can verify it here
https://hackmd.io/v-XNrEoGRpe7APR-EZGhOA.

**Changes introduced**
- Adds `Call::restore_ledger ` extrinsic to recover a corrupted ledger;
- Adds trait `frame_support::traits::currency::InspectLockableCurrency`
to allow external pallets to read current locks given an account and
lock ID;
- Implements the `InspectLockableCurrency` in the pallet-balances.
- Adds staking locks try-runtime checks
(https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/issues/3751)

**Todo**
- [x] benchmark `Call::restore_ledger`
- [x] throughout testing of all ledger recovering cases
- [x] consider adding the staking locks try-runtime checks to this PR

Fixes #3826.

The docs on the `candidates` field of `BlockEntry` were incorrectly
stating that they are sorted by core index. The (incorrect) optimization
was introduced in #3747 based on this assumption. The actual ordering is
based on `CandidateIncluded` events ordering in the runtime. We revert
this optimization here.

The PR provides API for obtaining:
- the weight required to execute an XCM message,
- a list of acceptable `AssetId`s for message execution payment,
- the cost of the weight in the specified acceptable `AssetId`.

It is meant to address an issue where one has to guess how much fee to
pay for execution. Also, at the moment, a client has to guess which
assets are acceptable for fee execution payment.
See the related issue
https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/issues/690.
With this API, a client is supposed to query the list of the supported
asset IDs (in the XCM version format the client understands), weigh the
XCM program the client wants to execute and convert the weight into one
of the acceptable assets. Note that the client is supposed to know what
program will be executed on what chains. However, having a small
companion JS library for the pallet-xcm and xtokens should be enough to
determine what XCM programs will be executed and where (since these
pallets compose a known small set of programs).
```Rust
pub trait XcmPaymentApi<Call>
	where
		Call: Codec,
	{
		/// Returns a list of acceptable payment assets.
		///
		/// # Arguments
		///
		/// * `xcm_version`: Version.
		fn query_acceptable_payment_assets(xcm_version: Version) -> Result<Vec<VersionedAssetId>, Error>;
		/// Returns a weight needed to execute a XCM.
		///
		/// # Arguments
		///
		/// * `message`: `VersionedXcm`.
		fn query_xcm_weight(message: VersionedXcm<Call>) -> Result<Weight, Error>;
		/// Converts a weight into a fee for the specified `AssetId`.
		///
		/// # Arguments
		///
		/// * `weight`: convertible `Weight`.

		fn query_weight_to_asset_fee(weight: Weight, asset: VersionedAssetId) -> Result<u128, Error>;
		/// Get delivery fees for sending a specific `message` to a `destination`.
		/// These always come in a specific asset, defined by the chain.
		///
		/// # Arguments
		/// * `message`: The message that'll be sent, necessary because most delivery fees are based on the

This PR notifies broker pallet for any parachain slot swaps performed on
the relay chain. This is achieved by registering an `OnSwap` for the the
`coretime` pallet. The hook sends XCM message to the broker chain and
invokes a new extrinsic `swap_leases` which updates `Leases` storage
item (which keeps the legacy parachain leases).

I made two assumptions in this PR:
1.
[`Leases`](https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/blob/4987d798/substrate/frame/broker/src/lib.rs#L120)
in `broker` pallet and
[`Leases`](https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/blob/4987d798

/polkadot/runtime/common/src/slots/mod.rs#L118)
in `slots` pallet are in sync.
2. `swap_leases` extrinsic from `broker` pallet can be triggered only by
root or by the XCM message from the relay chain. If not - the extrinsic
will generate an error and do nothing.

As a side effect from the changes `OnSwap` trait is moved from
runtime/common/traits.rs to runtime/parachains. Otherwise it is not
accessible from `broker` pallet.

**Note:** Some usage of British vs American english e.g. `judgement` vs
`judgment`, `initialise` vs `initialize`, `optimise` vs `optimize` etc.
are both present in different places, but I suppose that's
understandable given the number of contributors.

Currently `transfer_assets` from pallet-xcm covers 4 main different
transfer types:
- `localReserve`
- `DestinationReserve`
- `Teleport`
- `RemoteReserve`

For the first three, the local execution and the remote message sending
are separated, and fees are deducted in pallet-xcm itself:
https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/blob/3410dfb3

/polkadot/xcm/pallet-xcm/src/lib.rs#L1758.

For the 4th case `RemoteReserve`, pallet-xcm is still relying on the
xcm-executor itself to send the message (through the
`initiateReserveWithdraw` instruction). In this case, if delivery fees
need to be charged, it is not possible to do so because the
`jit_withdraw` mode has not being set.

This PR proposes to still use the `initiateReserveWithdraw` but
prepending a `setFeesMode { jit_withdraw: true }` to make sure delivery
fees can be paid.

A test-case is also added to present the aforementioned case

Based on issue
[#2512](https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/issues/2512), it
seems that some ecosystem teams are using these networks to set up their
staging environments and test certain use cases, some of them involving
sending XCMs from the relay with origins not allowed in the current

This PR backports:
- node version bump

from the `1.9.0` release branch

Step in https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/issues/3688

We witnessed really poor performance on Rococo, where we ended up with
50 on-demand cores. This was due to the fact that for each core the full
queue was processed. With this change full queue processing will happen
way less often (most of the time complexity is O(1) or O(log(n))) and if
it happens then only for one core (in expectation).

Also spot price is now updated before each order to ensure economic back
pressure.


TODO:

- [x] Implement
- [x] Basic tests
- [x] Add more tests (see todos)
- [x] Run benchmark to confirm better performance, first results suggest
> 100x faster.
- [x] Write migrations
- [x] Bump scale-info version and remove patch in Cargo.toml
- [x] Write PR docs: on-demand performance improved, more on-demand
cores are now non problematic anymore. If need by also the max queue
size can be increased again. (Maybe not to 10k)

Optional: Performance can be improved even more, if we called
`pop_assignment_for_core()`, before calling `report_processed` (Avoid
needless affinity drops). The effect gets smaller the larger the claim
queue and I would only go for it, if it does not add complexity to the
scheduler.

The PR adds two things:
1. Runtime API exposing the whole claim queue
2. Consumes the API in `collation-generation` to fetch the next
scheduled `ParaEntry` for an occupied core.

Related to https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/issues/1797

Introduces `CryptoBytes` type defined as:

```rust
pub struct CryptoBytes<const N: usize, Tag = ()>(pub [u8; N], PhantomData<fn() -> Tag>);
```

The type implements a bunch of methods and traits which are typically
expected from a byte array newtype
(NOTE: some of the methods and trait implementations IMO are a bit
redundant, but I decided to maintain them all to not change too much
stuff in this PR)

It also introduces two (generic) typical consumers of `CryptoBytes`:
`PublicBytes` and `SignatureBytes`.

```rust
pub struct PublicTag;
pub PublicBytes<const N: usize, CryptoTag> = CryptoBytes<N, (PublicTag, CryptoTag)>;

pub struct SignatureTag;
pub SignatureBytes<const N: usize, CryptoTag> = CryptoBytes<N, (SignatureTag, CryptoTag)>;
```

Both of them use a tag to differentiate the two types at a higher level.
Downstream specializations will further specialize using a dedicated
crypto tag. For example in ECDSA:


```rust
pub struct EcdsaTag;

pub type Public = PublicBytes<PUBLIC_KEY_SERIALIZED_SIZE, EcdsaTag>;
pub type Signature = PublicBytes<PUBLIC_KEY_SERIALIZED_SIZE, EcdsaTag>;
```

Overall we have a cleaner and most importantly **consistent** code for
all the types involved

All these details are opaque to the end user which can use `Public` and
`Signature` for the cryptos as before

On top of #3302.

We want the validators to upgrade first before we add changes to the
collation side to send the new variants, which is why this part is
extracted into a separate PR.

The detection of when to send the parent head is based on the core
assignments at the relay parent of the candidate. We probably want to
make it more flexible in the future, but for now, it will work for a
simple use case when a para always has multiple cores assigned to it.
