Sets `frame_system::LastRuntimeUpgrade` after running try-runtime
migrations to better emulate real behavior.

This fixes an issue where migrations using the spec version to determine
whether to execute can incorrectly fail idempotency checks.

@s0me0ne-unkn0wn noticed this issue with the session key migration
introduced in https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/pull/2265.

Addresses #409.

This request has been raised by multiple community members - the ability
for the nomination pool root role to configure permissionless commission
claiming:

> Would it be possible to have a claim_commission_other extrinsic for
claiming commission of nomination pools permissionless?

This PR does not quite introduce this additional call, but amends
`do_claim_commission` to check a new `claim_permission` field in the
`Commission` struct, configured by an enum:

```
enum CommissionClaimPermission {
   Permissionless,
   Account(AccountId),
}
```
This can be optionally set in a bonded pool's
`commission.claim_permission` field:

```
struct BondedPool {
   commission: {
      <snip>
      claim_permission: Option<CommissionClaimPermission<T::AccountId>>,
   },
   <snip>
}
```

This is a new field and requires a migration to add it to existing
pools. This will be `None` on pool creation, falling back to the `root`
role having sole access to claim commission if it is not set; this is
the behaviour as it is today. Once set, the field _can_ be set to `None`
again.

#### Changes
- [x] Add `commision.claim_permission` field.
- [x] Add `can_claim_commission` and amend `do_claim_commission`.
- [x] Add `set_commission_claim_permission` call.
- [x] Test to cover new configs and call.
- [x] Add and amend benchmarks.
- [x] Generate new weights + slot into call
`set_commission_claim_permission`.
- [x] Add migration to introduce `commission.claim_permission`, bump
storage version.
- [x] Update Westend weights.
- [x] Migration working.

The `chill_other` call is the only staking call that explicitly requires
`controller` in its signature. This PR changes the controller arg to be
the stash instead, with `StakingLedger` then fetching the controller
from storage.

This is not a breaking change per se - the call types do not change, but
is noteworthy as UIs will now want to pass the stash account into
`chill_other` calls, & metadata will reflect this.

Note: This is very low impact. `chill_other` has [hardly ever been
used](https://polkadot.subscan.io/extrinsic?address=&module=staking&call=chill_other&result=all&signedChecked=signed%20only&startDate=&endDate=&startBlock=&timeType=date&version=9431&endBlock=)
on Polkadot - notwithstanding the one called 11 days ago at block
18177457 that was a part of test I did, the last call was made 493 days
ago. Only 2 calls have ever been successful.

Addresses controller deprecation #2500

Our executor currently only supports the WASM MVP feature set, however
nowadays when compiling WASM the Rust compiler has more features enabled
by default.

We do set the `-C target-cpu=mvp` flag to make sure that *our* code gets
compiled in a way that is compatible with our executor, however this
doesn't affect Rust's standard library crates (`std`, `core` and
`alloc`) which are by default precompiled and still can make use of
these extra features.

So in this PR we force the compiler to also compile the standard library
crates for us to make sure that they also only use the MVP features.

I've added the `WASM_BUILD_STD` environment variable which can be used
to disable this behavior if set to `0`.

Unfortunately this *will* slow down the compile times when building
runtimes, but there isn't much that we can do about that.

The FastUnstake pallet tests were previously directly modifying storage
items in the pallet-staking to alter exposure. However, due to the
introduction of the [new paged exposure
feature](https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/pull/1189) these
tests were not testing against correct storage items. This issue
resulted in a bug that I didn't catch, which has been addressed in [this
fix](https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/pull/2369).

This PR introduces a modification to how the pallet-fast-unstake handles
exposure. It now utilizes `pallet-staking::EraInfo` to set or mutate
Exposures.

# Description

Needed this in my code as part of the larger data structure.

Amends some staking pallet docs, and deprecation comment, to adjust to
the latest controller deprecation state.

Note, do we need the `README.md` file, which is a duplicate of the
pallet docs? Docs would be easier to maintain, and less ambiguity for
devs to refer to, if we had one source of truth in the generated pallet
docs.

This moves the macro related re-exports to `__private` to make it more
obvious for downstream users that they are using an internal api.

CI: Disable runtime upgrade spec name check on Westend Asset Hub and fix Staking pallet migration (#2447)

Westend Asset Hub currently failing because the spec name is being
changed next runtime upgrade
(https://gitlab.parity.io/parity/mirrors/polkadot-sdk/-/jobs/4413125).

This also fixes an idempotency issue with a staking pallet migration.
Similar issues will be caught automatically now that we've also updated
to try-runtime-cli v0.5.0 which checks for idempotency issues.

This also enables try-state checks running in the CI.

This PR removes `#[macro_use]` from the service module in each of the
Substrate nodes in the repo.

* Parachain Template
* Polkadot Parachain
* Minimal Node
* Node Template
* Kitchen Sink Node

IDK why this annotation was present, maybe from when we had the
`new_partial!` macro?

The `SkipCheckifFeeless::IDENTIFIER` became transparent (ie was whatever
the inner signed ext was). This PR just makes the `TypeInfo` transparent
too, so that libraries that use said info to decode the data (ie subxt)
can behave identically whether or not the `SkipCheckifFeeless` wrapper
is used or not.

Fully-qualified path was not being used in benchmark macro for one of

couple of files, which I believe was done to fix this issue.

Deprecates `RewardDestination::Controller` variant.

- [x] `RewardDestination::Controller` annotated with `#[deprecated]`.
- [x] `Controller` variant is now handled the same way as `Stash` in
`payout_stakers`.
- [x] `set_payee` errors if `RewardDestination::Controller` is provided.
- [x] Added `update_payee` call to lazily migrate
`RewardDestination::Controller` `Payee` storage entries to
`RewardDestination::Account(controller)` .
- [x] `payout_stakers_dead_controller` has been removed from benches &
weights - was not used.
- [x] Tests no longer use `RewardDestination::Controller`.

The `lazy_static` package does not work well in `no-std`: it requires
`spin_no_std` feature, which also will propagate into `std` if enabled.
This is not what we want.

This PR provides simple address uri parser which allows to get rid of
_regex_ which was used to parse the address uri, what in turns allows to
remove lazy_static.

Three regular expressions
(`SS58_REGEX`,`SECRET_PHRASE_REGEX`,`JUNCTION_REGEX`) were replaced with
the parser which unifies all of them.

The new parser does not support Unicode, it is ASCII only.

Related to #2285

- save the state of the BEEFY gadget after processing a finality proof.
We need this in order to avoid skipping blocks.
- avoid reprocessing the old state when not necessary

Addresses a bug caused by
https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/pull/1189. The changes are
still not released yet, so would like to push the fix soon so it can go
together with the release of the above PR.

`fast_unstake` checks if a staker is exposed in an era. However, this fn
is still returning whether the staker is exposed based on the old
storage item. This PR fixes that by looking in both old and new exposure
storages.

Also adds some integrity tests for paged exposures.

The versioned migrations are already there in pallet nomination-pools:

https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/blob/f6ee4781/substrate/frame/nomination-pools/src/migration.rs#L27-L48

Just updating the kitchensink runtime to point to them.

This is also nice because it points the dev to an example of how to use
`VersionedMigration`.

Adds a function for querying the last runtime upgrade spec version. This
can be useful for when writing runtime level migrations to ensure that
they are not executed multiple times. An example would be a session key
migration.

The goal of this PR is to migrate Identity deposits from the Relay Chain
to a system parachain.

The problem I want to solve is that `IdentityOf` and `SubsOf` both store
an amount that's held in reserve as a storage deposit. When migrating to
a parachain, we can take a snapshot of the actual `IdentityInfo` and
sub-account mappings, but should migrate (off chain) the `deposit`s to
zero, since the chain (and by extension, accounts) won't have any funds
at genesis.

The good news is that we expect parachain deposits to be significantly
lower (possibly 100x) on the parachain. That is, a deposit of 21 DOT on
the Relay Chain would need 0.21 DOT on a parachain. This PR proposes to
migrate the deposits in the following way:

1. Introduces a new pallet with two extrinsics: 
- `reap_identity`: Has a configurable `ReapOrigin`, which would be set
to `EnsureSigned` on the Relay Chain (i.e. callable by anyone) and
`EnsureRoot` on the parachain (we don't want identities reaped from
there).
- `poke_deposit`: Checks what deposit the pallet holds (at genesis,
zero) and attempts to update the amount based on the calculated deposit
for storage data.
2. `reap_identity` clears all storage data for a `target` account and
unreserves their deposit.
3. A `ReapIdentityHandler` teleports the necessary DOT to the parachain
and calls `poke_deposit`. Since the parachain deposit is much lower, and
was just unreserved, we know we have enough.

One awkwardness I ran into was that the XCMv3 instruction set does not
provide a way for the system to teleport assets without a fee being
deducted on reception. Users shouldn't have to pay a fee for the system
to migrate their info to a more efficient location. So I wrote my own
program and did the `InitiateTeleport` accounting on my own to send a
program with `UnpaidExecution`. Have discussed an
`InitiateUnpaidTeleport` instruction with @franciscoaguirre

 . Obviously
any chain executing this would have to pass a `Barrier` for free
execution.

This PR adds support for multiple hashes being passed to the
`chainHeda_unpin` parameters.

The `hash` parameter is renamed to `hash_or_hashes` per

While at it, a new integration test is added to check the unpinning of
multiple hashes. The API is checked against a hash or a vector of
hashes.

add details in `--dev` flag to tell that it disables local peer
discovery

### Context

When adding automated end-to-end tests, we replaced `--dev` by 

```
`--chain=dev`, `--force-authoring`, `--rpc-cors=all`, `--alice`, and `--tmp` flags
```

as stated in the command line documentation. But the tests started
failing due to the nodes connecting to each other.

### Fix

This PR includes additional command line documentation to explain more
in detail what `--dev` flag inludes.

BEEFY ECDSA signatures are on keccak has of the messages. As such we can
not simply call

`EcdsaBlsPair::verify(signature.as_inner_ref(), msg,
self.as_inner_ref())`

because that invokes ecdsa default verification which perfoms blake2
hash which we don't want.

This bring up the second issue makes: This makes `sign` and `verify`
function in `pair_crypto` useless, at least for BEEFY use case.
Moreover, there is no obvious clean way to generate the signature given
that pair_crypto does not exposes `sign_prehashed`. You could in theory
query the keystore for the pair (could you?), invoke `to_raw` and
re-generate each sub-pair and sign using each. But that sounds extremely
anticlimactic and will be frow upon by auditors . So I appreciate any
alternative suggestion.

Fixes https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/issues/1725

This PR adds the following changes:
1. An attribute `pallet::feeless_if` that can be optionally attached to
a call like so:
```rust
#[pallet::feeless_if(|_origin: &OriginFor<T>, something: &u32| -> bool {
	*something == 0
})]
pub fn do_something(origin: OriginFor<T>, something: u32) -> DispatchResult {
     ....
}
```
The closure passed accepts references to arguments as specified in the
call fn. It returns a boolean that denotes the conditions required for
this call to be "feeless".

2. A signed extension `SkipCheckIfFeeless<T: SignedExtension>` that
wraps a transaction payment processor such as
`pallet_transaction_payment::ChargeTransactionPayment`. It checks for
all calls annotated with `pallet::feeless_if` to see if the conditions
are met. If so, the wrapped signed extension is not called, essentially
making the call feeless.

In order to use this, you can simply replace your existing signed
extension that manages transaction payment like so:
```diff
- pallet_transaction_payment::ChargeTransactionPayment<Runtime>,
+ pallet_skip_feeless_payment::SkipCheckIfFeeless<
+	Runtime,
+	pallet_transaction_payment::ChargeTransactionPayment<Runtime>,
+ >,
```

### Todo
- [x] Tests
- [x] Docs
- [x] Prdoc

Remove the `GRANDPA_AUTHORITIES_KEY` key and its usage. Apparently this
was used in the early days to communicate the grandpa authorities to the
node. However, we have now a runtime api that does this for us. So, this
pull request is moving from the custom managed storage item to a FRAME
managed storage item.

This pr also includes a migration for doing the switch on a running
chain.
