Makes https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/pull/4035 easier to
review

Currently, PVFs are re-prepared if any execution environment parameter
changes. As we've recently seen on Kusama and Polkadot, that may lead to
a severe finality lag because every validator has to re-prepare every
PVF. That cannot be avoided altogether; however, we could cease
re-preparing PVFs when a change in the execution environment can't lead
to a change in the artifact itself. For example, it's clear that
changing the execution timeout cannot affect the artifact.

In this PR, I'm introducing a separate hash for the subset of execution
environment parameters that changes only if a preparation-related
parameter changes. It introduces some minor code duplication, but
without that, the scope of changes would be much bigger.

TODO:
- [x] Add a test to ensure the artifact is not re-prepared if
non-preparation-related parameter is changed
- [x] Add a test to ensure the artifact is re-prepared if a
preparation-related parameter is changed
- [x] Add comments, warnings, and, possibly, a test to ensure a new
parameter ever added to the executor environment parameters will be
evaluated by the author of changes with respect to its artifact
preparation impact and added to the new hash preimage if needed.

Closes #4132

... a few sessions too late :(, this already happened on polkadot, so as
of now there are no known relay-chains without async backing enabled in
runtime, but let's fix it in case someone else wants to repeat our
steps.

Part of https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/issues/4126 we want
to safely increase the execute_workers_max_num gradually from chain to
chain and assess if there are any negative impacts.

This PR performs the necessary plumbing to be able to increase it based
on the chain id, it increase the number of execution workers from 2 to 4
on test network but lives kusama and polkadot unchanged until we gather
more data.

This is for adding onfinality polkadot bootnode. Please correct me if
this is not the right place for adding a new bootnode

Add a metric to be able to understand the time jobs are waiting in the
execution queue waiting for an available worker.

Currently all preparations have same priority and this is not ideal in
all cases. This change should improve the finality time in the context
of on-demand parachains and when `ExecutorParams` are updated on-chain
and a rebuild of all artifacts is required. The desired effect is to
speed up approval and dispute PVF executions which require preparation
and delay backing executions which require preparation.

The `next_retry_time` gets populated when a request receives an error
timeout or any other error, after thatn next_retry would check all
requests in the queue returns the smallest one, which then gets used to
move the main loop by creating a Delay
```
futures_timer::Delay::new(instant.saturating_duration_since(Instant::now())).await,
```

However when we retry a task for the first time we still keep it in the
queue an mark it as in flight so its next_retry_time would be the oldest
and it would be small than `now`, so the Delay will always triggers, so
that would make the main loop essentially busy wait untill we received a
response for the retry request.

Fix this by excluding the tasks that are already in-flight.

Implements the idea from
https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/pull/3899
- Removed latencies
- Number of runs reduced from 50 to 5, according to local runs it's
quite enough
- Network message is always sent in a spawned task, even if latency is
zero. Without it, CPU time sometimes spikes.
- Removed the `testnet` profile because we probably don't need that
debug additions.

After the local tests I can't say that it brings a significant
improvement in the stability of the results. However, I belive it is
worth trying and looking at the results over time.

Also add an early bail out for look ahead collator such that we don't
waste time if a CollatorFn is not set.

This PR backports `spec_version`, `node_version` bumps and reordering of
the prdocs from the 1.10.0 release branch

[litep2p](https://github.com/altonen/litep2p) is a libp2p-compatible P2P
networking library. It supports all of the features of `rust-libp2p`
that are currently being utilized by Polkadot SDK.

Compared to `rust-libp2p`, `litep2p` has a quite different architecture
which is why the new `litep2p` network backend is only able to use a
little of the existing code in `sc-network`. The design has been mainly
influenced by how we'd wish to structure our networking-related code in
Polkadot SDK: independent higher-levels protocols directly communicating
with the network over links that support bidirectional backpressure. A
good example would be `NotificationHandle`/`RequestResponseHandle`
abstractions which allow, e.g., `SyncingEngine` to directly communicate
with peers to announce/request blocks.

I've tried running `polkadot --network-backend litep2p` with a few
different peer configurations and there is a noticeable reduction in
networking CPU usage. For high load (`...

With Coretime enabled we can no longer assume there is a static 1:1
mapping between core index and para id. This mapping should be obtained
from the scheduler/claimqueue on block by block basis.

This PR modifies `para_id()` (from `CoreState`) to return the scheduled
`ParaId` for occupied cores and removes its usages in the code.

The runtime now can provide a number of predefined presets of
`RuntimeGenesisConfig` struct. This presets are intended to be used in
different deployments, e.g.: `local`, `staging`, etc, and should be
included into the corresponding chain-specs.

Having `GenesisConfig` presets in runtime allows to fully decouple node
from runtime types (the problem is described in #1984).

**Summary of changes:**
- The `GenesisBuilder` API was adjusted to enable this functionality
(and provide better naming - #150):
   ```rust
    fn preset_names() -> Vec<PresetId>;
fn get_preset(id: Option<PresetId>) -> Option<serde_json::Value>;
//`None` means default
    fn build_state(value: serde_json::Value);
    pub struct PresetId(Vec<u8>);
   ```

- **Breaking change**: Old `create_default_config` method was removed,
`build_config` was renamed to `build_state`. As a consequence a node
won't be able to interact with genesis config for older runtimes. The
cleanup was made for sake of API simplicity. Also IMO maintaining
compatibility with old API is not so crucial.
- Reference implementation was provided for `substrate-test-runtime` and
`rococo` runtimes. For rococo new
[`genesis_configs_presets`](https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/blob/3b41d66b/polkadot/runtime/rococo/src/genesis_config_presets.rs#L530)
module was added and is used in `GenesisBuilder`
[_presets-related_](https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/blob/3b41d66b/polkadot/runtime/rococo/src/lib.rs#L2462-L2485)
methods.

- The `chain-spec-builder` util was also improved and allows to
([_doc_](https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/blob/3b41d66b/substrate/bin/utils/chain-spec-builder/src/lib.rs#L19)):
   - list presets provided by given runtime (`list-presets`),
- display preset or default config provided by the runtime
(`display-preset`),
   - build chain-spec using named preset (`create ... named-preset`),


- The `ChainSpecBuilder` is extended with
[`with_genesis_config_preset_name`](https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/blob/3b41d66b/substrate/client/chain-spec/src/chain_spec.rs#L447)
method which allows to build chain-spec using named preset provided by
the runtime. Sample usage on the node side
[here](https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/blob/2caffaae

/polkadot/node/service/src/chain_spec.rs#L404).

Rejoice! Rejoice! The story is nearly over.

This PR removes stale migrations, auxiliary structures, and package
dependencies, thus making Rococo and Westend totally free from any
`im-online`-related stuff.

`im-online` still stays a part of the Substrate node and its runtime:
https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/blob/0d932484/substrate/bin/node/runtime/src/lib.rs#L2276-L2277
I'm not sure if it makes sense to remove it from there considering that
we're not removing `im-online` from FRAME. Please share your opinion.

Runtime release 1.2 includes bumping of the ParachainHost APIs up to
v10, so let's move all the released APIs out of vstaging folder, this PR
does not include any logic changes only renaming of the modules and some
moving around.

The metric records the current protocol_version of the validator that
just connected with the peer_map.len(), which contains all peers that
connected, that has the effect the metric will be wrong since it won't
tell us how many peers we have connected per version because it will
always record the total number of peers

Fix this by counting by version inside peer_map, additionally because
that might be a bit heavier than len(), publish it only on-active
leaves.
