fixes https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/issues/182

This PR adds a document with recommendations of how deprecations should
be handled. Initiated within FRAME, this checklist could be extended to
the rest of the repo.

I want to quote here a comment from @Kianenigma

 that summarizes the
spirit of this new document:
> I would see it as a guideline of "what an extensive deprecation
process looks like". As the author of a PR, you should match this
against your "common sense" and see if it is needed or not. Someone else
can nudge you to "hey, this is an important PR, you should go through
the deprecation process".
> 
> For some trivial things, all the steps might be an overkill.

This changes `BlockCollection` logic so we don't download block ranges
from peers with which we have these ranges already in sync.

Improves situation with
https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/issues/1915.

# Description

Update the bootnode of kusama parachains before decommissioning the
nodes. This will avoid connecting to non-existing bootnodes.

The check_hardware functions does not give us too much information as to
what is failing, so let's return the list of failed metrics, so that callers can print 
it.

This would make debugging easier, rather than try to guess which
dimension is actually failing.

Added if condition on review-bot's trigger so it does not trigger in
`draft` PRs.

Right now governance could only control byte-fee component of Rococo <>
Westend message fees (paid at Asset Hubs). This PR changes it a bit:
1) governance now allowed to control both fee components - byte fee and
base fee;
2) base fee now includes cost of "default" delivery and confirmation
transactions, in addition to `ExportMessage` instruction cost.

- This adds the new trait `StorageDecodeNonDedupLength` and implements
them for `BTreeSet` and its bounded types.
- New unit test has been added to cover the case.  
- See linked
[issue](https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/issues/126) which
outlines the original issue.

Note that the added trait here doesn't add new logic but improves
semantics.

## Changes

This MR refactores the XCMP, Parachains System and DMP pallets to use
the [MessageQueue](https://github.com/paritytech/substrate/pull/12485)
for delayed execution of incoming messages. The DMP pallet is entirely
replaced by the MQ and thereby removed. This allows for PoV-bounded
execution and resolves a number of issues that stem from the current
work-around.

All System Parachains adopt this change.  
The most important changes are in `primitives/core/src/lib.rs`,
`parachains/common/src/process_xcm_message.rs`,
`pallets/parachain-system/src/lib.rs`, `pallets/xcmp-queue/src/lib.rs`
and the runtime configs.

### DMP Queue Pallet

The pallet got removed and its logic refactored into parachain-system.
Overweight message management can be done directly through the MQ
pallet.

Final undeployment migrations are provided by
`cumulus_pallet_dmp_queue::UndeployDmpQueue` and `DeleteDmpQueue` that
can be configured with an aux config trait like:

```rust
parameter_types! {
	pub const DmpQueuePalletName: &'static str = \"DmpQueue\" < CHANGE ME;
	pub const RelayOrigin: AggregateMessageOrigin = AggregateMessageOrigin::Parent;
}

impl cumulus_pallet_dmp_queue::MigrationConfig for Runtime {
	type PalletName = DmpQueuePalletName;
	type DmpHandler = frame_support::traits::EnqueueWithOrigin<MessageQueue, RelayOrigin>;
	type DbWeight = <Runtime as frame_system::Config>::DbWeight;
}

// And adding them to your Migrations tuple:
pub type Migrations = (
	...
	cumulus_pallet_dmp_queue::UndeployDmpQueue<Runtime>,
	cumulus_pallet_dmp_queue::DeleteDmpQueue<Runtime>,
);
```

### XCMP Queue pallet

Removed all dispatch queue functionality. Incoming XCMP messages are now
either: Immediately handled if they are Signals, enqueued into the MQ
pallet otherwise.

New config items for the XCMP queue pallet:
```rust
/// The actual queue implementation that retains the messages for later processing.
type XcmpQueue: EnqueueMessage<ParaId>;

/// How a XCM over HRMP from a sibling parachain should be processed.
type XcmpProcessor: ProcessMessage<Origin = ParaId>;

/// The maximal number of suspended XCMP channels at the same time.
#[pallet::constant]
type MaxInboundSuspended: Get<u32>;
```

How to configure those:

```rust
// Use the MessageQueue pallet to store messages for later processing. The `TransformOrigin` is needed since
// the MQ pallet itself operators on `AggregateMessageOrigin` but we want to enqueue `ParaId`s.
type XcmpQueue = TransformOrigin<MessageQueue, AggregateMessageOrigin, ParaId, ParaIdToSibling>;

// Process XCMP messages from siblings. This is type-safe to only accept `ParaId`s. They will be dispatched
// with origin `Junction::Sibling(…)`.
type XcmpProcessor = ProcessFromSibling<
	ProcessXcmMessage<
		AggregateMessageOrigin,
		xcm_executor::XcmExecutor<xcm_config::XcmConfig>,
		RuntimeCall,
	>,
>;

// Not really important what to choose here. Just something larger than the maximal number of channels.
type MaxInboundSuspended = sp_core::ConstU32<1_000>;
```

The `InboundXcmpStatus` storage item was replaced by
`InboundXcmpSuspended` since it now only tracks inbound queue suspension
and no message indices anymore.

Now only sends the most recent channel `Signals`, as all prio ones are
out-dated anyway.

### Parachain System pallet

For `DMP` messages instead of forwarding them to the `DMP` pallet, it
now pushes them to the configured `DmpQueue`. The message processing
which was triggered in `set_validation_data` is now being done by the MQ
pallet `on_initialize`.

XCMP messages are still handed off to the `XcmpMessageHandler`
(XCMP-Queue pallet) - no change here.

New config items for the parachain system pallet:
```rust
/// Queues inbound downward messages for delayed processing. 
///
/// Analogous to the `XcmpQueue` of the XCMP queue pallet.
type DmpQueue: EnqueueMessage<AggregateMessageOrigin>;
``` 

How to configure:
```rust
/// Use the MQ pallet to store DMP messages for delayed processing.
type DmpQueue = MessageQueue;
``` 

## Message Flow

The flow of messages on the parachain side. Messages come in from the
left via the `Validation Data` and finally end up at the `Xcm Executor`
on the right.

## Further changes

- Bumped the default suspension, drop and resume thresholds in
`QueueConfigData::default()`.
- `XcmpQueue::{suspend_xcm_execution, resume_xcm_execution}` errors when
they would be a noop.
- Properly validate the `QueueConfigData` before setting it.
- Marked weight files as auto-generated so they wont auto-expand in the
MR files view.
- Move the `hypothetical` asserts to `frame_support` under the name
`experimental_hypothetically`

Questions:
- [ ] What about the ugly `#[cfg(feature = \"runtime-benchmarks\")]` in
the runtimes? Not sure how to best fix. Just having them like this makes
tests fail that rely on the real message processor when the feature is
enabled.
- [ ] Need a good weight for `MessageQueueServiceWeight`. The scheduler
already takes 80% so I put it to 10% but that is quite low.

TODO:
- [x] Remove c&p code after
https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot/pull/6271
- [x] Use `HandleMessage` once it is public in Substrate
- [x] fix `runtime-benchmarks` feature
https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot/pull/6966
- [x] Benchmarks
- [x] Tests
- [ ] Migrate `InboundXcmpStatus` to `InboundXcmpSuspended`
- [x] Possibly cleanup Migrations (DMP+XCMP)
- [x] optional: create `TransformProcessMessageOrigin` in Substrate and
replace `ProcessFromSibling`
- [ ] Rerun weights on ref HW

Fixes https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/issues/2123

# Description
We derive few useful traits on `ErrorOrigin` and `ExecError`, including
`codec::Encode` and `codec::Decode`, so that `ExecResult` is
en/decodable as well. This is required for a contract mocking feature
(already prepared in drink:
https://github.com/Cardinal-Cryptography/drink/pull/61). In more detail:
`ExecResult` must be passed from runtime extension, through runtime
interface, back to the pallet, which requires that it is serializable to
bytes in some form (or implements some rare, auxiliary traits).

**Impact on runtime size**: Since most of these traits is used directly
in the pallet now, compiler should be able to throw it out (and thus we
bring no new overhead). However, they are very useful in secondary tools
like drink or other testing libraries.

I just wonder how could have other PR been merged after this was merged:
https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/pull/1714/files#diff-1bde7bb2be0165cbe6db391e10a4a0b2f333348681373a86a0f8502d14d20d32R56

## Summary

Asset bridging support for AssetHub**Rococo** <-> AssetHub**Wococo** was
added [here](https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/pull/1215), so
now we aim to bridge AssetHub**Rococo** and AssetHub**Westend**. (And
perhaps retire AssetHubWococo and the Wococo chains).

## Solution

**bridge-hub-westend-runtime**
- added new runtime as a copy of `bridge-hub-rococo-runtime`
- added support for bridging to `BridgeHubRococo`
- added tests and benchmarks

**bridge-hub-rococo-runtime**
- added support for bridging to `BridgeHubWestend`
- added tests and benchmarks
- internal refactoring by splitting bridge configuration per network,
e.g., `bridge_to_whatevernetwork_config.rs`.

**asset-hub-rococo-runtime**
- added support for asset bridging to `AssetHubWestend` (allows to
receive only WNDs)
- added new xcm router for `Westend`
- added tests and benchmarks

**asset-hub-westend-runtime**
- added support for asset bridging to `AssetHubRococo` (allows to
receive only ROCs)
- added new xcm router for `Rococo`
- added tests and benchmarks

## Deployment

All changes will be deployed as a part of
https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/issues/1988.

## TODO

- [x] benchmarks for all pallet instances
- [x] integration tests
- [x] local run scripts

# Description

This PR updates the node-template-release generation binary as well as
the `node-template-release.sh` file so that we can automatically push
updates to the [substrate-node-template
repository](https://github.com/substrate-developer-hub/substrate-node-template).
I assume this part was not updated after the substrate project has been
moved into the polkadot-sdk mono repo.

# Adjustments
- extend the `node-template-release.sh` to support the substrate
child-folder
- update the `SUBSTRATE_GIT_URL`
- fix the Cargo.toml filter (so that it does not include any
non-relevant .toml files)
- set the workspace-edition to 2021

# Note
In order to auto-generate the artifacts [this
line](https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/blob/master/.gitlab/pipeline/build.yml#L320C15-L320C15)
needs to be included in the build.yml script again. Since I do not have
access to the (probably) internal gitlab environment I hope that someone
with actual access can introduce that change.
I also do not know how the auto-publish feature works so that would be
another thing to add later on.

This is a port (and hopefully a small improvement) of @Kianenigma

's PR
from the old Substrate repo:
https://github.com/paritytech/substrate/pull/13987. Following #1689 I
moved the documentation of all macros relevant to this PR from
`frame_support_procedural` to `pallet_macros` while including a hint for
RA users.

Question: Again with respect to #1689: Is there a good reason why we
should *not* enhance paths with links to our current rustdocs? For
example, instead of
```rust
/// **Rust-Analyzer users**: See the documentation of the Rust item in
/// `frame_support::pallet_macros::storage`.
```
we could write
```rust
/// **Rust-Analyzer users**: See the documentation of the Rust item in
/// [`frame_support::pallet_macros::storage`](https://paritytech.github.io/polkadot-sdk/master/frame_support/pallet_macros/attr.storage.html).
```
This results in a clickable link like this:
<img width="674" alt="image"
src="https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/assets/10713977/c129e622-3942-4eeb-8acf-93ee4efdc99d">
I don't really expect the links to become outdated any time soon, but I
think this would be a great UX improvement over just having paths.

TODOs:
- [ ] Add documentation for `constant_name` macro
- [x] Add proper documentation for different `QueryKinds`, i.e.
`OptionQuery`, `ValueQuery`, `ResultQuery`. One example for each. Custom
`OnEmpty` should be moved to `QueryKinds` trait doc page.
- [ ] Rework `type_value` docs

# Context
Rewards payout is processed today in a single block and limited to
`MaxNominatorRewardedPerValidator`. This number is currently 512 on both
Kusama and Polkadot.

This PR tries to scale the nominators payout to an unlimited count in a
multi-block fashion. Exposures are stored in pages, with each page
capped to a certain number (`MaxExposurePageSize`). Starting out, this
number would be the same as `MaxNominatorRewardedPerValidator`, but
eventually, this number can be lowered through new runtime upgrades to
limit the rewardeable nominators per dispatched call instruction.

The changes in the PR are backward compatible.

## How payouts would work like after this change
Staking exposes two calls, 1) the existing `payout_stakers` and 2)
`payout_stakers_by_page`.

### payout_stakers
This remains backward compatible with no signature change. If for a
given era a validator has multiple pages, they can call `payout_stakers`
multiple times. The pages are executed in an ascending sequence and the
runtime takes care of preventing double claims.

### payout_stakers_by_page
Very similar to `payout_stakers` but also accepts an extra param
`page_index`. An account can choose to payout rewards only for an
explicitly passed `page_index`.

**Lets look at an example scenario**
Given an active validator on Kusama had 1100 nominators,
`MaxExposurePageSize` set to 512 for Era e. In order to pay out rewards
to all nominators, the caller would need to call `payout_stakers` 3
times.

- `payout_stakers(origin, stash, e)` => will pay the first 512
nominators.
- `payout_stakers(origin, stash, e)` => will pay the second set of 512
nominators.
- `payout_stakers(origin, stash, e)` => will pay the last set of 76
nominators.
...
- `payout_stakers(origin, stash, e)` => calling it the 4th time would
return an error `InvalidPage`.

The above calls can also be replaced by `payout_stakers_by_page` and
passing a `page_index` explicitly.

## Commission note
Validator commission is paid out in chunks across all the pages where
each commission chunk is proportional to the total stake of the current
page. This implies higher the total stake of a page, higher will be the
commission. If all the pages of a validator's single era are paid out,
the sum of commission paid to the validator across all pages should be
equal to what the commission would have been if we had a non-paged
exposure.

### Migration Note
Strictly speaking, we did not need to bump our storage version since
there is no migration of storage in this PR. But it is still useful to
mark a storage upgrade for the following reasons:

- New storage items are introduced in this PR while some older storage
items are deprecated.
- For the next `HistoryDepth` eras, the exposure would be incrementally
migrated to its corresponding paged storage item.
- Runtimes using staking pallet would strictly need to wait at least
`HistoryDepth` eras with current upgraded version (14) for the migration
to complete. At some era `E` such that `E >
era_at_which_V14_gets_into_effect + HistoryDepth`, we will upgrade to
version X which will remove the deprecated storage items.
In other words, it is a strict requirement that E<sub>x</sub> -
E<sub>14</sub> > `HistoryDepth`, where
E<sub>x</sub> = Era at which deprecated storages are removed from
runtime,
E<sub>14</sub> = Era at which runtime is upgraded to version 14.
- For Polkadot and Kusama, there is a [tracker
ticket](https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/issues/433) to clean
up the deprecated storage items.

### Storage Changes

#### Added
- ErasStakersOverview
- ClaimedRewards
- ErasStakersPaged

#### Deprecated
The following can be cleaned up after 84 eras which is tracked
[here](https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/issues/433).

- ErasStakers.
- ErasStakersClipped.
- StakingLedger.claimed_rewards, renamed to
StakingLedger.legacy_claimed_rewards.

### Config Changes
- Renamed MaxNominatorRewardedPerValidator to MaxExposurePageSize.

### TODO
- [x] Tracker ticket for cleaning up the old code after 84 eras.
- [x] Add companion.
- [x] Redo benchmarks before merge.
- [x] Add Changelog for pallet_staking.
- [x] Pallet should be configurable to enable/disable paged rewards.

This PR moves syncing-related code from `sc-network-common` to
`sc-network-sync`.

Unfortunately, some parts are tightly integrated with networking, so
they were left in `sc-network-common` for now:

1. `SyncMode` in `common/src/sync.rs` (used in `NetworkConfiguration`).
2. `BlockAnnouncesHandshake`, `BlockRequest`, `BlockResponse`, etc. in
`common/src/sync/message.rs` (used in `src/protocol.rs` and
`src/protocol/message.rs`).

More substantial refactoring is needed to decouple syncing and
networking completely, including getting rid of the hardcoded sync
protocol.

## Release notes

Move syncing-related code from `sc-network-common` to `sc-network-sync`.
Delete `ChainSync` trait as it's never used (the only implementation is
accessed directly from `SyncingEngine` and exposes a lot of public
methods that are not part of the trait). Some new trait(s) for syncing
will likely be introduced as part of Sync 2.0 refactoring to represent
syncing strategies.

This version includes paritytech/review-bot#97 which can assign
reviewers.

It will be the final step required to replace PRCR.

It also moves the secrets to the environment master.

# Description

The `trigger_defensive` call has been added to the `root-testing`
pallet. The idea is to have this pallet running on `Rococo/Westend` and
use it to verify if the runtime monitoring works end-to-end.

To accomplish this, `trigger_defensive` dispatches an event when it is
called.

Closes #1953

We shouldn't override with their default fields that have been added in
the previous version(v8), because we are going to lose whatever values have
been set.

Note, v8 & v9 seems to have landed at the same time on Rococo, probably
they will land at the same time on westend and other chains, so functionally
doesn't make much difference, but let's have this fixed for people that copy-paste
:D, like me.

This version includes:
- Move `spot` usage in CI to 50%
- Fix `PodMonitor`, metrics will be relayed to grafana

Removed confusing and outdated `TODO`.

- Usage the new published
[arkworks-extensions](https://github.com/paritytech/arkworks-extensions)
crates.
  Hooks are internally defined to jump into the proper host functions.
- Conditional compilation of each curve (gated by feature with curve
name)
- Separation in smaller host functions sets, divided by curve (fits
nicely with prev point)

This pull request changes how `check-each-crate.py` is working. Instead
of passing the name of the crate via `-p`, we now jump into the
directory of the crate and call there `cargo check`. This should fix
issues like https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/issues/2013 where
a crate is present twice in the `Cargo.lock`.

Besides that it also changes `core/Cargo.toml` to not always pull in
bandersnatch.

The change adds a test to show the failure scenario that caused #1812 to
be rolled back (more context:
https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/issues/493#issuecomment-1772009924)

Summary of the scenario:
1. Node has finished downloading up to block 1000 from the peers, from
the canonical chain.
2. Peers are undergoing re-org around this time. One of the peers has
