Partly addresses https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/issues/6157

The benchmarks measuring the impact of contract sizes on calling or
instantiating a contract were bogus because they needed to be written in
assembly in order to tightly control the basic block size.

This fixes the benchmarks for:
- call_with_code_per_byte
- upload_code
- instantiate_with_code

And adds a new benchmark that accounts for the fact that the interpreter
will always compile whole basic blocks:
- basic_block_compilation

After this PR only the weight we assign to instructions need to be
addressed.

This PR is centered around a main fix regarding the base deposit and a
bunch of drive by or related fixtures that make sense to resolve in one
go. It could be broken down more but I am constantly rebasing this PR
and would appreciate getting those fixes in as-one.

**This adds a multi block migration to Westend AssetHub that wipes the
pallet state clean. This is necessary because of the changes to the
`ContractInfo` storage item. It will not delete the child storage
though. This will leave a tiny bit of garbage behind but won't cause any
problems. They will just be orphaned.**

## Record the deposit for immutable data into the `storage_base_deposit`

The `storage_base_deposit` are all the deposit a contract has to pay for
existing. It included the deposit for its own metadata and a deposit
proportional (< 1.0x) to the size of its code. However, the immutable
code size was not recorded there. This would lead to the situation where
on terminate this portion wouldn't be refunded staying locked into the
contract. It would also make the calculation of the deposit changes on
`set_code_hash` more complicated when it updates the immutable data (to
be done in #6985). Reason is because it didn't know how much was payed
before since the storage prices could have changed in the mean time.

In order for this solution to work I needed to delay the deposit
calculation for a new contract for after the contract is done executing
is constructor as only then we know the immutable data size. Before, we
just charged this eagerly in `charge_instantiate` before we execute the
constructor. Now, we merely send the ED as free balance before the
constructor in order to create the account. After the constructor is
done we calculate the contract base deposit and charge it. This will
make `set_code_hash` much easier to implement.

As a side effect it is now legal to call `set_immutable_data` multiple
times per constructor (even though I see no reason to do so). It simply
overrides the immutable data with the new value. The deposit accounting
will be done after the constructor returns (as mentioned above) instead
of when setting the immutable data.

## Don't pre-charge for reading immutable data

I noticed that we were pre-charging weight for the max allowable
immutable data when reading those values and then refunding after read.
This is not necessary as we know its length without reading the storage
as we store it out of band in contract metadata. This makes reading it
free. Less pre-charging less problems.

## Remove delegate locking

Fixes #7092

This is also in the spirit of making #6985 easier to implement. The
locking complicates `set_code_hash` as we might need to block settings
the code hash when locks exist. Check #7092 for further rationale.

## Enforce "no terminate in constructor" eagerly

We used to enforce this rule after the contract execution returned. Now
we error out early in the host call. This makes it easier to be sure to
argue that a contract info still exists (wasn't terminated) when a
constructor successfully returns. All around this his just much simpler
than dealing this check.

## Moved refcount functions to `CodeInfo`

They never really made sense to exist on `Stack`. But now with the
locking gone this makes even less sense. The refcount is stored inside
`CodeInfo` to lets just move them there.

## Set `CodeHashLockupDepositPercent` for test runtime

The test runtime was setting `CodeHashLockupDepositPercent` to zero.
This was trivializing many code paths and excluded them from testing. I
set it to `30%` which is our default value and fixed up all the tests
that broke. This should give us confidence that the lockup doeposit
collections properly works.

## Reworked the `MockExecutable` to have both a `deploy` and a `call`
entry point

This type used for testing could only have either entry points but not
both. In order to fix the `immutable_data_set_overrides` I needed to a
new function `add_both` to `MockExecutable` that allows to have both
entry points. Make sure to make use of it in the future :)

Closes #216.

This PR allows pallets to define a `view_functions` impl like so:

```rust
#[pallet::view_functions]
impl<T: Config> Pallet<T>
where
	T::AccountId: From<SomeType1> + SomeAssociation1,
{
	/// Query value no args.
	pub fn get_value() -> Option<u32> {
		SomeValue::<T>::get()
	}

	/// Query value with args.
	pub fn get_value_with_arg(key: u32) -> Option<u32> {
		SomeMap::<T>::get(key)
	}
}
```
### `QueryId`

Each view function is uniquely identified by a `QueryId`, which for this
implementation is generated by:

```twox_128(pallet_name) ++ twox_128("fn_name(fnarg_types) -> return_ty")```

The prefix `twox_128(pallet_name)` is the same as the storage prefix for pallets and take into account multiple instances of the same pallet.

The suffix is generated from the fn type signature so is guaranteed to be unique for that pallet impl. For one of the view fns in the example above it would be `twox_128("get_value_with_arg(u32) -> Option<u32>")`. It is a known limitation that only the type names themselves are taken into account: in the case of type aliases the signature may have the same underlying types but a different id; for generics the concrete types may be different but the signatures will remain the same.

The existing Runtime `Call` dispatchables are addressed by their concatenated indices `pallet_index ++ call_index`, and the dispatching is handled by the SCALE decoding of the `RuntimeCallEnum::PalletVariant(PalletCallEnum::dispatchable_variant(payload))`. For `view_functions` the runtime/pallet generated enum structure is replaced by implementing the `DispatchQuery` trait on the outer (runtime) scope, dispatching to a pallet based on the id prefix, and the inner (pallet) scope dispatching to the specific function based on the id suffix.

Future implementations could also modify/extend this scheme and routing to pallet agnostic queries.

### Executing externally

These view functions can be executed externally via the system runtime api:

```rust
pub trait ViewFunctionsApi<QueryId, Query, QueryResult, Error> where
	QueryId: codec::Codec,
	Query: codec::Codec,
	QueryResult: codec::Codec,
	Error: codec::Codec,
{
	/// Execute a view function query.
fn execute_query(query_id: QueryId, query: Query) -> Result<QueryResult,
Error>;
}
```
### `XCQ`
Currently there is work going on by @xlc to implement [`XCQ`](https://github.com/open-web3-stack/XCQ/) which may eventually supersede this work.

It may be that we still need the fixed function local query dispatching in addition to XCQ, in the same way that we have chain specific runtime dispatchables and XCM.

I have kept this in mind and the high level query API is agnostic to the underlying query dispatch and execution. I am just providing the implementation for the `view_function` definition.

### Metadata
Currently I am utilizing the `custom` section of the frame metadata, to avoid modifying the official metadata format until this is standardized.

### vs `runtime_api`
There are similarities with `runtime_apis`, some differences being:
- queries can be defined directly on pallets, so no need for boilerplate declarations and implementations
- no versioning, the `QueryId` will change if the signature changes. 
- possibility for queries to be executed from smart contracts (see below)

### Calling from contracts
Future work would be to add `weight` annotations to the view function queries, and a host function to `pallet_contracts` to allow executing these queries from contracts.

### TODO

- [x] Consistent naming (view functions pallet impl, queries, high level api?)
- [ ] End to end tests via `runtime_api`
- [ ] UI tests
- [x] Mertadata tests
- [ ] Docs

Use docify export for parachain template hardcoded configuration and embed it in its README #6333 (#7093)

Use docify export for parachain template hardcoded configuration and
embed it in its README #6333

Docify currently has a limitation of not being able to embed a
variable/const in its code, without embedding it's definition, even if
do something in a string like

"this is a sample string ${sample_variable}"

It will embed the entire string 
"this is a sample string ${sample_variable}"
without replacing the value of sample_variable from the code

Hence, the goal was just to make it obvious in the README where the
PARACHAIN_ID value is coming from, so a note has been added at the start
for the same, so whenever somebody is running these commands, they will
be aware about the value and replace accordingly.

To make it simpler, we added a 
rust ignore block so the user can just look it up in the readme itself
and does not have to scan through the runtime directory for the value.

Follow-up to #6825, which introduced this bug.

We use the `can_build_upon` method to ask the runtime if it is fine to
build another block. The runtime checks this based on the
[`ConsensusHook`](https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/blob/c1b7c302/cumulus/pallets/aura-ext/src/consensus_hook.rs#L110-L110)
implementation, the most popular one being the `FixedConsensusHook`.

In #6825 I removed a check that would always allow us to build when we
are building on an included block. Turns out this check is still
required when:
1. The [`UnincludedSegment`
](https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/blob/c1b7c302

/cumulus/pallets/parachain-system/src/lib.rs#L758-L758)
storage item in pallet-parachain-system is equal or larger than the
unincluded segment.
2. We are calling the `can_build_upon` runtime API where the included
block has progressed offchain to the current parent block (so last entry
in the `UnincludedSegment` storage item).

In this scenario the last entry in `UnincludedSegment` does not have a
hash assigned yet (because it was not available in `on_finalize` of the
previous block). So the unincluded segment will be reported at its
maximum length which will forbid building another block.

Ideally we would have a more elegant solution than to rely on the
node-side here. But for now the check is reintroduced and a test is
added to not break it again by accident.

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] Migration of consumer (dec) and provider (inc) for direct stakers.

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
benchmarks

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.

closes #3967 

## Changes
We now use relay chain slots to measure velocity on chain. Previously we
were storing the current parachain slot. Then in `on_state_proof` of the
`ConsensusHook` we were checking how many blocks were athored in the
current parachain slot. This works well when the parachain slot time and
relay chain slot time is the same. With elastic scaling, we can have
parachain slot times lower than that of the relay chain. In these cases
we want to measure velocity in relation to the relay chain. This PR
adjusts that.


##  Migration
This PR includes a migration. Storage item `SlotInfo` of pallet
`aura-ext` is renamed to `RelaySlotInfo` to better reflect its new
content. A migration has been added that just kills the old storage
item. `RelaySlotInfo` will be `None` initially but its value will be
adjusted after one new relay chain slot arrives.

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

# Description

Migrating salary pallet to use umbrella crate. It is a follow-up from
https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/pull/7025
Why did I create this new branch? 
I did this, so that the unnecessary cargo fmt changes from the previous
branch are discarded and hence opened this new PR.



## Review Notes

This PR migrates pallet-salary to use the umbrella crate.

Added change: Explanation requested for why `TestExternalities` was
replaced by `TestState` as testing_prelude already includes it
`pub use sp_io::TestExternalities as TestState;`


I have also modified the defensive! macro to be compatible with umbrella
crate as it was being used in the salary pallet

Will fix:
https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/issues/6574
https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/issues/6644
https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/issues/6062

# Description

Migrate pallet-node-authorization to use umbrella crate. Part of #6504 

## Review Notes

* This PR migrates pallet-node-authorization to use the umbrella crate.
* Some imports like below have not been added to any prelude as they
have very limited usage across the various pallets.
```rust
use sp_core::OpaquePeerId as PeerId;
```
* Added a commonly used runtime trait for testing in the
`testing_prelude` in `substrate/frame/src/lib.rs`:
```rust
pub use sp_runtime::traits::BadOrigin;
```
* `weights.rs` uses the `weights_prelude` like:
```rust
use frame::weights_prelude::*;
```
* `tests.rs` and `mock.rs` use the `testing_prelude`:
```rust
use frame::testing_prelude::*;
```
* `lib.rs` uses the main `prelude` like:
```rust
use frame::prelude::*;
```
* For testing: Checked that local build works and tests run
successfully.

# Description

This PR removes usage of deprecated `sp-std` from Substrate. (following
PR of #5010)

## Integration

This PR doesn't remove re-exported `sp_std` from any crates yet, so
downstream projects using re-exported `sp_std` will not be affected.

## Review Notes

The existing code using `sp-std` is refactored to use `alloc` and `core`
directly. The key-value maps are instantiated from a vector of tuples
directly instead of using `sp_std::map!` macro.

`sp_std::Writer` is a helper type to use `Vec<u8>` with
`core::fmt::Write` trait. This PR copied it into `sp-runtime`, because
all crates using `sp_std::Writer` (including `sp-runtime` itself,
`frame-support`, etc.) depend on `sp-runtime`.

If this PR is merged, I would write following PRs to remove remaining
usage of `sp-std` from `bridges` and `cumulus`.
