      pallet-xcm: add new flexible `transfer_assets()` call/extrinsic (#2388) · e7651cf4
      Adrian Catangiu authored
      # Motivation (+testing)
      
      ### Enable easy `ForeignAssets` transfers using `pallet-xcm` 
      
      We had just previously added capabilities to teleport fees during
      reserve-based transfers, but what about reserve-transferring fees when
      needing to teleport some non-fee asset?
      
      This PR aligns everything under either explicit reserve-transfer,
      explicit teleport, or this new flexible `transfer_assets()` which can
      mix and match as needed with fewer artificial constraints imposed to the
      user.
      
      This will enable, for example, a (non-system) parachain to teleport
      their `ForeignAssets` assets to AssetHub while using DOT to pay fees.
      (the assets are teleported - as foreign assets should from their owner
      chain - while DOT used for fees can only be reserve-based transferred
      between said parachain and AssetHub).
      
      Added `xcm-emulator` tests for this scenario ^.
      
      # Description
      
      Reverts `(limited_)reserve_transfer_assets` to only allow reserve-based
      transfers for all `assets` including fees.
      
      Similarly `(limited_)teleport_assets` only allows teleports for all
      `assets` including fees.
          
      For complex combinations of asset transfers where assets and fees may
      have different reserves or different reserve/teleport trust
      configurations, users can use the newly added `transfer_assets()`
      extrinsic which is more flexible in allowing more complex scenarios.
      
      `assets` (excluding `fees`) must have same reserve location or otherwise
      be teleportable to `dest`.
      No limitations imposed on `fees`.
      
      - for local reserve: transfer assets to sovereign account of destination
      chain and forward a notification XCM to `dest` to mint and deposit
      reserve-based assets to `beneficiary`.
      - for destination reserve: burn local assets and forward a notification
      to `dest` chain to withdraw the reserve assets from this chain's
      sovereign account and deposit them to `beneficiary`.
      - for remote reserve: burn local assets, forward XCM to reserve chain to
      move reserves from this chain's SA to `dest` chain's SA, and forward
      another XCM to `dest` to mint and deposit reserve-based assets to
      `beneficiary`.
      - for teleports: burn local assets and forward XCM to `dest` chain to
      mint/teleport assets and deposit them to `beneficiary`.
      
      ## Review notes
      
      Only around 500 lines are prod code (see `pallet_xcm/src/lib.rs`), the
      rest of the PR is new tests and improving existing tests.

      pallet-xcm: enhance `reserve_transfer_assets` to support remote reserves (#1672) · 18257373
      Adrian Catangiu authored
      
      
      ## Motivation
      
      `pallet-xcm` is the main user-facing interface for XCM functionality,
      including assets manipulation functions like `teleportAssets()` and
      `reserve_transfer_assets()` calls.
      
      While `teleportAsset()` works both ways, `reserve_transfer_assets()`
      works only for sending reserve-based assets to a remote destination and
      beneficiary when the reserve is the _local chain_.
      
      ## Solution
      
      This PR enhances `pallet_xcm::(limited_)reserve_withdraw_assets` to
      support transfers when reserves are other chains.
      This will allow complete, **bi-directional** reserve-based asset
      transfers user stories using `pallet-xcm`.
      
      Enables following scenarios:
      - transferring assets with local reserve (was previously supported iff
      asset used as fee also had local reserve - now it works in all cases),
      - transferring assets with reserve on destination,
      - transferring assets with reserve on remote/third-party chain (iff
      assets and fees have same remote reserve),
      - transferring assets with reserve different than the reserve of the
      asset to be used as fees - meaning can be used to transfer random asset
      with local/dest reserve while using DOT for fees on all involved chains,
      even if DOT local/dest reserve doesn't match asset reserve,
      - transferring assets with any type of local/dest reserve while using
      fees which can be teleported between involved chains.
      
      All of the above is done by pallet inner logic without the user having
      to specify which scenario/reserves/teleports/etc. The correct scenario
      and corresponding XCM programs are identified, and respectively, built
      automatically based on runtime configuration of trusted teleporters and
      trusted reserves.
      
      #### Current limitations:
      - while `fees` and "non-fee" `assets` CAN have different reserves (or
      fees CAN be teleported), the remaining "non-fee" `assets` CANNOT, among
      themselves, have different reserve locations (this is also implicitly
      enforced by `MAX_ASSETS_FOR_TRANSFER=2`, but this can be safely
      increased in the future).
      - `fees` and "non-fee" `assets` CANNOT have **different remote**
      reserves (this could also be supported in the future, but adds even more
      complexity while possibly not being worth it - we'll see what the future
      holds).
