Need to be backported to stable2503 release.

With the migration of staking accounts to [fungible
currency](https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/pull/5501), we can
now allow pool users to stake directly and vice versa. This update
introduces a configurable filter mechanism to determine which accounts
can join a nomination pool.

## Example Usage  

### 1. Allow any account to join a pool  
To permit all accounts to join a nomination pool, use the `Nothing`
filter:

```rust
impl pallet_nomination_pools::Config for Runtime {
    ...
    type Filter = Nothing;
}
```

### 2. Restrict direct stakers from joining a pool

To prevent direct stakers from joining a nomination pool, use
`pallet_staking::AllStakers`:
```rust
impl pallet_nomination_pools::Config for Runtime {
    ...
    type Filter = pallet_staking::AllStakers<Runtime>;
}
```

### 3. Define a custom filter
For more granular control, you can define a custom filter:
```rust
struct MyCustomFilter<T: Config>(core::marker::PhantomData<T>);

impl<T: Config> Contains<T::AccountId> for MyCustomFilter<T> {
    fn contains(account: &T::AccountId) -> bool {
        todo!("Implement custom logic. Return `false` to allow the account to join a pool.")
    }
}
```

This PR changes the behavior of delegate calls when the callee is not a
contract account: Instead of returning a `CodeNotFound` error, this is
allowed and the caller observes a successful call with empty output.

The change makes for example the following contract behave the same as
on EVM:

```Solidity
contract DelegateCall {
    function delegateToLibrary() external returns (bool) {
        address testAddress = 0x0000000000000000000000000000000000000000;
        (bool success, ) = testAddress.delegatecall(
            abi.encodeWithSignature("test()")
        );
        return success;
    }
}
```

This PR contains improved test cases that rely on the governance
location as preparation for AHM to capture the state as it is.
It introduces `execute_as_governance_call`, which can be configured with
various governance location setups instead of the hard-coded
`Location::parent()`.

Additionally, it adds a test for `authorize_upgrade` to all SP testnets.


## TODO
- [x] rewrite all tests using
`RuntimeHelper::<Runtime>::execute_as_governance` (because it is using
hard-coded `Location::parent()`) to use
`RuntimeHelper::<Runtime>::execute_as_governance_call`

## Follow-up
- [ ] add similar test for westend-runtime
- [ ] add test that ensure xcm-executor adds `ClearOrigin` before all
side-effect sent to different chain

There were already previous efforts to remove the contracts-rococo
chain, see #5471, which was done as a response to this comment
https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/pull/5288#discussion_r1711157476.

This PR intends to fix the parts that were overlooked back then, and
remove all traces of contracts-rococo as it is intended to be replaced
by a new testnet including pallet-revive.

The runtime API implemented version is not explicitly shown in metadata,
so here we add it to improve developer experience.
We need to bump `frame-metadata` and `merkleized-metadata` to allow this
new feature.

This closes #7352 .

_Refactor_: also changing all the occurrences of `ViewFunctionMethod` to
just `ViewFunction` for metadata types.

# Description
Seems like SubstrateWeights that used T::DBWeights was not public unlike
the frame_system's Call weights. PR just made those weights public

## Integration
Instead of using `()` impl which used RockDB weights, ExtensionWeights
can be used to to use the provided DBWeights to System config

removed run-relay references removed in PR #7549

Partly fixes #7403

Subxt depends still on sp-crypto-hashing v0.7 but it's only one
dependency after removing the substrate-compat feature which is probably
"acceptable"

Fix tracing should wrap around the entire call stack execution

`sc-cli` brings rocksdb dependency into frame-benchmarking-cli when used
with `default-features = false`.
This PR makes rocksdb deps optional that sc-cli brings in some of the
crates. I think I covered all the crates that depend on sc-cli but
please let me know if I missed any.

Fixes: https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/issues/3793

# Description

Fixes #7413

## Integration

This PR updates the `DryRunApi`. The signature of the `dry_run_call` is
changed, and the XCM version of the return values of `dry_run_xcm` now
follows the version of the input XCM program.

## Review Notes

* **The `DryRunApi` is modified**
* **Added the `Router::clear_messages` to `dry_run_xcm` common
implementation**
* **Fixed the xcmp-queue's Router's clear_messages: channels details'
first_index and last_index are reset when clearing**
* **The MIN_XCM_VERSION is added**
* The common implementation in the `pallet-xcm` is modified accordingly
* The `DryRunApi` tests are modified to account for testing old XCM
versions
* The implementation from the `pallet-xcm` is used where it was not used
(including the `DryRunApi` tests)
* All the runtime implementations are modified according to the Runtime
API change

# Description

This PR introduces a lightweight log-capturing mechanism for XCM unit
tests, simplifying debugging by enabling structured log assertions. It
partially addresses #6119 and #6125, offering an optional way to verify
logs in tests while remaining unobtrusive in normal execution.

# Key Changes

* [x] Introduces a log capture utility in `sp_tracing`.
* [x] Adds XCM test examples demonstrating how and when to use log
capturing.

# Review Notes:

* The log capture mechanism is opt-in and does not affect existing tests
unless explicitly used.
* The implementation is minimal and does not add complexity to existing
test setups.
* It provides a structured alternative to
[`sp_tracing::init_for_tests()`](https://paritytech.github.io/polkadot-sdk/master/sp_tracing/fn.init_for_tests.html)
for log verification in automated tests.

The test was flaky and was disabled here
https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/issues/6345, looked at the
flakiness
https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/issues/6345#issuecomment-2674063608
and it wasn't because of some bug in our production code, but because of
the way the test interacts with the infrastructure.

Since https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/pull/7504 this test is
now testing redundant things that other tests like
0009-approval-voting-coalescing.toml and 0006-parachains-max-tranche0
already cover, so instead of investing trying to fix it, just remove it.

# Description

Adds support for the upcoming Ethereum Electra upgrade, while
maintaining backwards compatibility for the current Deneb fork.

## Integration

Relayers should be updated to send updated Electra consensus data
structures.

## Review Notes

The [Ethereum Electra hard-fork
consensus](https://github.com/ethereum/consensus-specs/blob/dev/specs/electra/light-client/sync-protocol.md)
changes affecting the Ethereum light client are mainly isolated to the
[Generalized
Indexes](https://github.com/protolambda/eth2.0-ssz/blob/master/specs/navigation/generalized_indices.md)
of data structures changing. Before Electra, these values were hardcoded
in config. For Electra, these values change and needed to the updated.
Methods were added to return the correct g-index for the current fork
version.

Data structures used by the Ethereum client did not change in this
hard-fork. The BeaconState container has been updated with additional
changes, but because the on-chain code does not reference the
BeaconState directly (only indirectly through merkle proofs), it is not
a concern. Off-chain relayers use the BeaconState to generate proofs,
and so the relayer code has been updated accordingly.

# Description

* This PR adds a new extrinsic `reconsider` to `pallet-indices`. This
extrinsic will be used to re-adjust the deposits made in the pallet.
* Part of #5591 

## Review Notes

* Added a new extrinsic `reconsider` in `pallet-indices`.
* Added a new event `DepositReconsidered` to be emitted upon a
successful call of the extrinsic.
* Although the immediate use of the extrinsic will be to give back some
of the deposit after the AH-migration, the extrinsic is written such
that it can work if the deposit decreases or increases (both).
* The call to the extrinsic would be `free` if an actual adjustment is
made to the deposit and `paid` otherwise.
* Added tests to test all scenarios.
* Added a benchmark to test the "worst case" (maximum compute) flow of
the extrinsic which is when the deposit amount is updated to a new
value.

## TO-DOs

* [x] Run CI cmd bot to benchmark

This PR updates litep2p to version 0.9.1. The yamux config is entirely
removed to mirror the libp2p yamux upstream version.
While at it, I had to bump indexmap and URL as well. 


## [0.9.1] - 2025-01-19

This release enhances compatibility between litep2p and libp2p by using
the latest Yamux upstream version. Additionally, it includes various
improvements and fixes to boost the stability and performance of the
WebSocket stream and the multistream-select protocol.
