This commit introduces a new concept called `NotificationService` which
allows Polkadot protocols to communicate with the underlying
notification protocol implementation directly, without routing events
through `NetworkWorker`. This implies that each protocol has its own
service which it uses to communicate with remote peers and that each
`NotificationService` is unique with respect to the underlying
notification protocol, meaning `NotificationService` for the transaction
protocol can only be used to send and receive transaction-related
notifications.

The `NotificationService` concept introduces two additional benefits:
  * allow protocols to start using custom handshakes
  * allow protocols to accept/reject inbound peers

Previously the validation of inbound connections was solely the
responsibility of `ProtocolController`. This caused issues with light
peers and `SyncingEngine` as `ProtocolController` would accept more
peers than `SyncingEngine` could accept which caused peers to have
differing views of their own states. `SyncingEngine` would reject excess
peers but these rejections were not properly communicated to those peers
causing them to assume that they were accepted.

With `NotificationService`, the local handshake is not sent to remote
peer if peer is rejected which allows it to detect that it was rejected.

This commit also deprecates the use of `NetworkEventStream` for all
notification-related events and going forward only DHT events are
provided through `NetworkEventStream`. If protocols wish to follow each
other's events, they must introduce additional abtractions, as is done
for GRANDPA and transactions protocols by following the syncing protocol
through `SyncEventStream`.

Currently the polkadot node will backoff from block authoring if
finality starts lagging. This PR disables this mechanism on production
networks (polkadot and kusama) and adds a flags to optionally force
enabling it.

**Overview:**
Adding an extra malus variant focusing on disputing finalized blocks. It
will:
- wrap around approval-voting
- listen to `OverseerSignal::BlockFinalized` and when encountered start
a dispute for the `dispute_offset`th ancestor
- simply pass through all other messages and signals

Add zombienet tests testing various edgecases:
- disputing freshly finalized blocks
- disputing stale finalized blocks
- disputing eagerly pruned finalized blocks (might be separate PR)

**TODO:**
- [x] Register new malus variant
- [x] Simple pass through wrapper (approval-voting)
- [x] Simple network definition
- [x] Listen to block finalizations
- [x] Fetch ancestor hash
- [x] Fetch session index
- [x] Fetch candidate
- [x] Construct and send dispute message
- [x] zndsl test 1 checking that disputes on fresh finalizations resolve
valid Closes #1365
- [x] zndsl test 2 checking that disputes for too old finalized blocks
are not possible Closes #1364
- [ ] zndsl test 3 checking that disputes for candidates with eagerly
pruned relay parent state are handled correctly #1359 (deferred to a
separate PR)
- [x] Unit tests for new malus variant (testing cli etc)
- [x] Clean/streamline error handling
- [ ] ~~Ensure it tests properly on session boundaries~~

Adds a `NodeFeatures` bitfield value to the runtime `HostConfiguration`,
with the purpose of coordinating the enabling of node-side features,
such as: https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/issues/628 and
https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/issues/598.
These are features that require all validators enable them at the same
time, assuming all/most nodes have upgraded their node versions.

This PR doesn't add any feature yet. These are coming in future PRs.

Also adds a runtime API for querying the state of the client features
and an extrinsic for setting/unsetting a feature by its index in the bitfield.

Note: originally part of:
https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/pull/1644, but posted as
standalone to be reused by other PRs until the initial PR is merged

Fixes #1437

Collators were previously reencoding the available data and checking the
erasure root.
Replace that with just checking the PoV hash, which consumes much less
CPU and takes less time.

We also don't need to check the `PersistedValidationData` hash, as
collators don't use it.

Reason:
https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/issues/575#issuecomment-1806572230

After systematic chunks recovery is merged, collators will no longer do
any reed-solomon encoding/decoding, which has proven to be a great CPU
consumer.

One for local networks with `fast-runtime` feature activated (1 minute
sessions) and one without the feature activated that will be the default
that runs with 1 hour long sessions.

availability-distribution subsystem is not sending availability-recovery
messages. Update the overseer declaration to reflect this

**_PR migrated from https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot/pull/6782_** 

This PR will upgrade the network protocol to version 3 -> VStaging which
will later be renamed to V3. This version introduces a new kind of
assignment certificate that will be used for tranche0 assignments.
Instead of issuing/importing one tranche0 assignment per candidate,
there will be just one certificate per relay chain block per validator.
However, we will not be sending out the new assignment certificates,
yet. So everything should work exactly as before. Once the majority of
the validators have been upgraded to the new protocol version we will
enable the new certificates (starting at a specific relay chain block)
with a new client update.

There are still a few things that need to be done:

- [x] Use bitfield instead of Vec<CandidateIndex>:
https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot/pull/6802
  - [x] Fix existing approval-distribution and approval-voting tests
  - [x] Fix bitfield-distribution and statement-distribution tests
  - [x] Fix network bridge tests
  - [x] Implement todos in the code
  - [x] Add tests to cover new code
  - [x] Update metrics
  - [x] Remove the approval distribution aggression levels: TBD PR
  - [x] Parachains DB migration 
  - [x] Test network protocol upgrade on Versi
  - [x] Versi Load test
  - [x] Add Zombienet test
  - [x] Documentation updates
- [x] Fix for sending DistributeAssignment for each candidate claimed by
a v2 assignment (warning: Importing locally an already known assignment)
 - [x]  Fix AcceptedDuplicate
 - [x] Fix DB migration so that we can still keep old data.

should be used instead.
- `polkadot`:
- all references to `RuntimeGenesisConfig` in `node/service` are
removed,
- all

functions now return the JSON patch for default runtime `GenesisConfig`,
  - `ChainSpecBuilder` is used, `ChainSpec::from_genesis` is removed,

- `cumulus`:

# Description

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

The `BlockBuilderProvider` was a trait that was defined in
`sc-block-builder`. The trait was implemented for `Client`. This
basically meant that you needed to import `sc-block-builder` any way to
have access to the block builder. So, this trait was not providing any
real value. This pull request is removing the said trait. Instead of the
trait it introduces a builder for creating a `BlockBuilder`. The builder
currently has the quite fabulous name `BlockBuilderBuilder` (I'm open to
any better name 😅

). The rest of the pull request is about
replacing the old trait with the new builder.

# Downstream code changes

If you used `new_block` or `new_block_at` before you now need to switch
it over to the new `BlockBuilderBuilder` pattern:

```rust
// `new` requires a type that implements `CallApiAt`. 
let mut block_builder = BlockBuilderBuilder::new(client)
                // Then you need to specify the hash of the parent block the block will be build on top of
		.on_parent_block(at)
                // The block builder also needs the block number of the parent block. 
                // Here it is fetched from the given `client` using the `HeaderBackend`
                // However, there also exists `with_parent_block_number` for directly passing the number
		.fetch_parent_block_number(client)
		.unwrap()
                // Enable proof recording if required. This call is optional.
		.enable_proof_recording()
                // Pass the digests. This call is optional.
                .with_inherent_digests(digests)
		.build()
		.expect("Creates new block builder");
```

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.
