Update from bkontur running command 'bench --pallet polkadot_runtime_parachains::paras --runtime westend rococo'

closes https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/issues/5742

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

The `PayFees` instruction should only ever be used once. If it's used
more than once, it's just a noop.

`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.
