* "Update Substrate"

Co-authored-by: parity-processbot <>

Currently we will take all leaves and give that to the overseer on
startup, but this is a bad idea when the finality is lagging for
example. There can be many of unfinalized leaves, we don't even need to
look at anymore. To solve this, the pr adds a maximum of 4 leaves we
forward to the overseer and the pr also checks that we only pass uncles
of the best block.

* Move NetworkBridgeEvent to subsystem::messages.

It is not protocol related at all, it is in fact only part of the
subsystem communication as it gets wrapped into messages of each
subsystem.

* Request/response infrastructure is taking shape.

WIP: Does not compile.

* Multiplexer variant not supported by Rusts type system.

* request_response::request type checks.

* Cleanup.

* Minor fixes for request_response.

* Implement request sending + move multiplexer.

Request multiplexer is moved to bridge, as there the implementation is
more straight forward as we can specialize on `AllMessages` for the
multiplexing target.

Sending of requests is mostly complete, apart from a few `From`
instances. Receiving is also almost done, initializtion needs to be
fixed and the multiplexer needs to be invoked.

* Remove obsolete multiplexer.

* Initialize bridge with multiplexer.

* Finish generic request sending/receiving.

Subsystems are now able to receive and send requests and responses via
the overseer.

* Doc update.

* Fixes.

* Link issue for not yet implemented code.

* Fixes suggested by @ordian

 - thanks!

- start encoding at 0
- don't crash on zero protocols
- don't panic on not yet implemented request handling

* Update node/network/protocol/src/request_response/v1.rs
