This MR is the merge of
https://github.com/paritytech/substrate/pull/14414 and
https://github.com/paritytech/substrate/pull/14275. It implements
[RFC#13](https://github.com/polkadot-fellows/RFCs/pull/13), closes
https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/issues/198.

----- 

This Merge request introduces three major topicals:

1. Multi-Block-Migrations
1. New pallet `poll` hook for periodic service work
1. Replacement hooks for `on_initialize` and `on_finalize` in cases
where `poll` cannot be used

and some more general changes to FRAME.  
The changes for each topical span over multiple crates. They are listed
in topical order below.

# 1.) Multi-Block-Migrations

Multi-Block-Migrations are facilitated by creating `pallet_migrations`
and configuring `System::Config::MultiBlockMigrator` to point to it.
Executive picks this up and triggers one step of the migrations pallet
per block.
The chain is in lockdown mode for as long as an MBM is ongoing.
Executive does this by polling `MultiBlockMigrator::ongoing` and not
allowing any transaction in a block, if true.

A MBM is defined through trait `SteppedMigration`. A condensed version
looks like this:
```rust
/// A migration that can proceed in multiple steps.
pub trait SteppedMigration {
	type Cursor: FullCodec + MaxEncodedLen;
	type Identifier: FullCodec + MaxEncodedLen;

	fn id() -> Self::Identifier;

	fn max_steps() -> Option<u32>;

	fn step(
		cursor: Option<Self::Cursor>,
		meter: &mut WeightMeter,
	) -> Result<Option<Self::Cursor>, SteppedMigrationError>;
}
```

`pallet_migrations` can be configured with an aggregated tuple of these
migrations. It then starts to migrate them one-by-one on the next
runtime upgrade.
Two things are important here:
- 1. Doing another runtime upgrade while MBMs are ongoing is not a good
idea and can lead to messed up state.
- 2. **Pallet Migrations MUST BE CONFIGURED IN `System::Config`,
otherwise it is not used.**

The pallet supports an `UpgradeStatusHandler` that can be used to notify
external logic of upgrade start/finish (for example to pause XCM
dispatch).

Error recovery is very limited in the case that a migration errors or
times out (exceeds its `max_steps`). Currently the runtime dev can
decide in `FailedMigrationHandler::failed` how to handle this. One
follow-up would be to pair this with the `SafeMode` pallet and enact
safe mode when an upgrade fails, to allow governance to rescue the
chain. This is currently not possible, since governance is not
`Mandatory`.

## Runtime API

- `Core`: `initialize_block` now returns `ExtrinsicInclusionMode` to
inform the Block Author whether they can push transactions.

### Integration

Add it to your runtime implementation of `Core` and `BlockBuilder`:
```patch
diff --git a/runtime/src/lib.rs b/runtime/src/lib.rs
@@ impl_runtime_apis! {
	impl sp_block_builder::Core<Block> for Runtime {
-		fn initialize_block(header: &<Block as BlockT>::Header) {
+		fn initialize_block(header: &<Block as BlockT>::Header) -> RuntimeExecutiveMode {
			Executive::initialize_block(header)
		}

		...
	}
```

# 2.) `poll` hook

A new pallet hook is introduced: `poll`. `Poll` is intended to replace
mostly all usage of `on_initialize`.
The reason for this is that any code that can be called from
`on_initialize` cannot be migrated through an MBM. Currently there is no
way to statically check this; the implication is to use `on_initialize`
as rarely as possible.
Failing to do so can result in broken storage invariants.

The implementation of the poll hook depends on the `Runtime API` changes
that are explained above.

# 3.) Hard-Deadline callbacks

Three new callbacks are introduced and configured on `System::Config`:
`PreInherents`, `PostInherents` and `PostTransactions`.
These hooks are meant as replacement for `on_initialize` and
`on_finalize` in cases where the code that runs cannot be moved to
`poll`.
The reason for this is to make the usage of HD-code (hard deadline) more
explicit - again to prevent broken invariants by MBMs.

# 4.) FRAME (general changes)

## `frame_system` pallet

A new memorize storage item `InherentsApplied` is added. It is used by
executive to track whether inherents have already been applied.
Executive and can then execute the MBMs directly between inherents and
transactions.

The `Config` gets five new items:
- `SingleBlockMigrations` this is the new way of configuring migrations
that run in a single block. Previously they were defined as last generic
argument of `Executive`. This shift is brings all central configuration
about migrations closer into view of the developer (migrations that are
configured in `Executive` will still work for now but is deprecated).
- `MultiBlockMigrator` this can be configured to an engine that drives
MBMs. One example would be the `pallet_migrations`. Note that this is
only the engine; the exact MBMs are injected into the engine.
- `PreInherents` a callback that executes after `on_initialize` but
before inherents.
- `PostInherents` a callback that executes after all inherents ran
(including MBMs and `poll`).
- `PostTransactions` in symmetry to `PreInherents`, this one is called
before `on_finalize` but after all transactions.

A sane default is to set all of these to `()`. Example diff suitable for
any chain:
```patch
@@ impl frame_system::Config for Test {
 	type MaxConsumers = ConstU32<16>;
+	type SingleBlockMigrations = ();
+	type MultiBlockMigrator = ();
+	type PreInherents = ();
+	type PostInherents = ();
+	type PostTransactions = ();
 }
```

An overview of how the block execution now looks like is here. The same
graph is also in the rust doc.

This PR adds tests for the `transaction_broadcast` method.


The testing needs to coordinate the following components:
- The `TestApi` marks transactions as invalid and implements
`ChainApi::validate_transaction`
- this is what dictates if a transaction is valid or not and is called
from within the `BasicPool`
- The `BasicPool` which maintains the transactions and implements
`submit_and_watch` needed by the tx broadcast to submit the transaction
- The status of the transaction pool is exposed by mocking the BasicPool
- The `ChainHeadMockClient` which mocks the
`BlockchainEvents::import_notification_stream` needed by the tx
broadcast to know to which blocks the transaction is submitted

The following changes have been added to the substrate testing to
accommodate this:
- `TestApi` gets ` remove_invalid`, counterpart to `add_invalid` to
ensure an invalid transaction can become valid again; as well as a
priority setter for extrinsics
- `BasicPool` test constructor is extended with options for the
`PoolRotator`
- this mechanism is needed because transactions are banned for 30mins
(default) after they are declared invalid
  - testing bypasses this by providing a `Duration::ZERO`

### Testing Scenarios

- Capture the status of the transaction as it is normally broadcasted
- `transaction_stop` is valid while the transaction is in progress
- A future transaction is handled when the dependencies are completed
- Try to resubmit the transaction at a later block (currently invalid)
- An invalid transaction status is propagated; the transaction is marked
as temporarily banned; then the ban expires and transaction is
resubmitted

Introduce storage attr macro `#[disable_try_decode_storage]` and set it on `System::Events` and `ParachainSystem::HostConfiguration` (#3454)

Closes https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/issues/2560

Allows marking storage items with `#[disable_try_decode_storage]`, and
uses it with `System::Events`.

Question: what's the recommended way to write a test for this? I
couldn't find a test for similar existing macro `#[whitelist_storage]`.

Hey everyone,

this PR will replace existing Polkadotters bootnodes for Polkadot,
Kusama and Westend and add Paseo bootnode to the relay chain suite. At
the same time, it will add new bootnodes for all the system parachains,
including People on Westend. This PR is a part of our membership in the
IBP, meaning that all the bootnodes are hosted on our hardware housed in
the data center in Christchurch, New Zealand.
All the bootnodes were tested with an empty chain spec file with the
following command yielding 1 peer.

- Add a reference doc page named `frame_runtime_types`, which explains
what types like `RuntimeOrigin`, `RuntimeCall` etc are.
- On top of it, it adds a reference doc page called `frame_origin` which
explains a few important patterns that we use around origins
- And finally brushes up `#[frame::origin]` docs. 
- Updates the theme, sidebar and favicon to look like:

When running `cargo test -p bridge-hub-rococo-runtime --features
runtime-benchmarks`, two of the Snowbridge benchmark tests fails. The
reason is that when the runtime-benchmarks feature is enabled, the
`NoopMessageProcessor` message processor is used. The Snowbridge tests
rely on the outbound messages to be processed using the message queue,
so that we can check the expected nonce and block digest logs.

This PR changes the conditional compilation to only use
`NoopMessageProcessor` when compiling the executable to run benchmarks
against, not when running tests.

Tests run as part of the `test-linux-stable` jobs could hang as shown
[here](https://gitlab.parity.io/parity/mirrors/polkadot-sdk/-/jobs/5341393).
This PR adds a failsafe for such cases.

While investigating some pruning issues I found some room for
improvement in the notification pin handling.

**Problem:** It was not possible to define an upper limit on
notification pins. The block pinning cache has a limit, but only handles
bodies and justifications.

After this PR, bookkeeping for notifications is managed in the pinning
worker. A limit can be defined in the worker. If that limit is crossed,
blocks that were pinned for that notification are unpinned, which now
affects the state as well as bodies and justifications. The pinned
blocks cache still has a limit, but should never be hit.

Instead of only generating the error, we now generate the actual code
and the error. This generates in total less errors and helps the user to
identify the actual problem and not being confronted with tons of
errors.

with the deprecation of Rococo, Encointer needs a new staging
environment. Paseo will be Polkadot-focused and westend Kusama-focused,
so we propose to use Westend

## Problem
During the bumping of the `polkadot-fellows` repository to
`[email protected]`, I encountered a situation where the benchmarks
`teleport_assets` and `reserve_transfer_assets` in AssetHubKusama
started to fail. This issue arose due to a decreased ED balance for
AssetHubs introduced
[here](https://github.com/polkadot-fellows/runtimes/pull/158/files#diff-80668ff8e793b64f36a9a3ec512df5cbca4ad448c157a5d81abda1b15f35f1daR213),
and also because of a [missing CI
pipeline](https://github.com/polkadot-fellows/runtimes/issues/197) to
check the benchmarks, which went unnoticed.

These benchmarks expect the `caller` to have enough:
1. balance to transfer (BTT)
2. balance for paying delivery (BFPD).
 
So the initial balance was calculated as `ED * 100`, which seems
reasonable:
```
const ED_MULTIPLIER: u32 = 100;
let balance = existential_deposit.saturating_mul(ED_MULTIPLIER.into());`
```
The problem arises when the price for delivery is 100 times higher than
the existential deposit. In other words, when `ED * 100` does not cover
`BTT` + `BFPD`.

I check AHR/AHW/AHK/AHP and this problem has only AssetHubKusama
```
ED: 3333333
calculated price to parent delivery:  1031666634  (from xcm logs from the benchmark)
---

3333333 * 100 - BTT(3333333) - BFPD(1031666634) = −701666667
```
which results in the error;
```
2024-02-23 09:19:42 Unable to charge fee with error Module(ModuleError { index: 31, error: [17, 0, 0, 0], message: Some("FeesNotMet") })
Error: Input("Benchmark pallet_xcm::reserve_transfer_assets failed: FeesNotMet")
     
```

## Solution

The benchmarks `teleport_assets` and `reserve_transfer_assets` were
fixed by removing `ED * 100` and replacing it with `DeliveryHelper`
logic, which calculates the (almost real) price for delivery and sets it
along with the existential deposit as the initial balance for the
account used in the benchmark.

Add more debug logs to understand if statement-distribution is in a bad

https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/issues/3314 on production
networks.

Additionally, increase the number of parallel requests should make,
since I notice that requests take around 100ms on kusama, and the 5
parallel request was picked mostly random, no reason why we can do more
than that.

Changes the runtime hash algorithm used in
`resolve_state_version_from_wasm` from `DefaultHasher` to a
caller-provided one (usually `HashingFor<Block>`), to match the one used
elsewhere.

This fixes an issue where the runtime wasm is compiled 3 times when
starting the `tanssi-node` with `--dev`. With this fix, the runtime wasm
is only compiled 2 times. The other redundant compilation is caused by
the `GenesisConfigBuilderRuntimeCaller` struct, which ignores the
runtime cache.

### Summary
Some preparations for Runtime to support elastic scaling, guarded by
config node features bit `FeatureIndex::ElasticScalingMVP`. This PR
introduces a per-candidate `CoreIndex` but does it in a hacky way to
avoid changing `CandidateCommitments`, `CandidateReceipts` primitives
and networking protocols.

#### Including `CoreIndex` in `BackedCandidate`
If the `ElasticScalingMVP` feature bit is enabled then
`BackedCandidate::validator_indices` is extended by 8 bits.
The value stored in these bits represents the assumed core index for the
candidate.

It is temporary solution which works by creating a mapping from
`BackedCandidate` to `CoreIndex` by assuming the `CoreIndex` can be
discovered by checking in which validator group the validator that
signed the statement is.

- [x] fix tests
- [x] add new tests

# Runtime side for PoV Reclaim

## Implementation Overview
- Hostfunction to fetch the storage proof size has been added to the
PVF. It uses the size tracking recorder that was introduced in my
previous PR.
- Mechanisms to use the reclaim HostFunction have been introduced.
- 1. A SignedExtension that checks the node-reported proof size before
and after application of an extrinsic. Then it reclaims the difference.
- 2. A manual helper to make reclaiming easier when manual interaction
is required, for example in `on_idle` or other hooks.
- In order to utilize the manual reclaiming, I modified `WeightMeter` to
support the reduction of consumed weight, at least for storage proof
size.

## How to use
To enable the general functionality for a parachain:
1. Add the SignedExtension to your parachain runtime. 
2. Provide the HostFunction to the node
3. Enable proof recording during block import

## Summary
* use benchamarked weights instead of hardcoded ones for
`pallet-membership`
* rename benchmark to match extrinsic name
* remove unnecessary dependency from `clear_prime`

Add a `ApiVersion` constant to the pallet-contracts Config to
communicate with developers the current state of the host functions
exposed by the pallet

By passing `RUST_LOG=info` to the check command, we will be able to see
the exact problem with a given prdoc.

The `fee` should be calculated with the reanchored asset, otherwise it
could lead to a failure where the set aside fee ends up not being
enough.

Extracting small parts of
https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/pull/3429 into separate PR:

- Add support for BHP local and BHK local
- Increase the timeout for the bridge zomienet tests

This introduces a check to ensure that the parachain code matches the
validation code stored in the relay chain state. If not, it will print a
warning. This should be mainly useful for parachain builders to make
sure they have setup everything correctly.

As part of BEEFY worker/voter initialization the task waits for certain
chain and backend conditions to be fulfilled:
- BEEFY consensus enabled on-chain & GRANDPA best finalized higher than
on-chain BEEFY genesis block,
- backend has synced headers for BEEFY mandatory blocks between best
BEEFY and best GRANDPA.

During this waiting time, any messages gossiped on the BEEFY topic for
current chain get enqueued in the gossip engine, leading to RAM bloating
and output warning/error messages when the wait time is non-negligible
(like during a clean sync).

This PR adds logic to pump the gossip engine while waiting for other
things to make sure gossiped messages get consumed (practically
discarded until worker is fully initialized).

Also raises the warning threshold for enqueued messages from 10k to
100k. This is in line with the other gossip protocols on the node.

This PR fixes a subtle bug in `wasm-builder` first introduced in
https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/pull/1851 (sorry, my bad! I
should have caught this during review) where the status code of the
`cargo` subprocess is not properly checked, which results in builds
silently succeeding when they shouldn't (that is: if we successfully
build a runtime blob, and then modify the code so that it won't compile,
and recompile it again, then the build will succeed and silently use the
*old* blob).

cc @athei This is the bug you were seeing.

[edit]Also fixes a similar PolkaVM-specific bug where I accidentally
used the wrong comparison operator.[/edit]

This PR adds two more public channels in matrix where should the release
announcements go

First step in implementing
https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/issues/3144

### Summary of changes
- switch statement `Table` candidate mapping from `ParaId` to
`CoreIndex`
- introduce experimental `InjectCoreIndex`  node feature.
- determine and assume a `CoreIndex` for a candidate based on statement
validator index. If the signature is valid it means validator controls
the validator that index and we can easily map it to a validator
group/core.
- introduce a temporary provisioner fix until we fully enable elastic
scaling in the subystem. The fix ensures we don't fetch the same
backable candidate when calling `get_backable_candidate` for each core.

TODO:
- [x] fix backing tests
- [x] fix statement table tests
- [x] add new test

In Tanssi, we need a way to stop the collator code and then start it
again. This is to support rotating the same collator between different
runtimes. Currently, this works very well, except for the proposer
metrics, because they only get registered the first time they are
started. Afterwards, we see this warning log:

> Failed to register proposer prometheus metrics: Duplicate metrics
collector registration attempted


~~So this PR adds a method to set metrics, to allow us to register
metrics manually before creating the `ProposerFactory`, and then clone
the same metrics every time we need to start the collator.~~ Implemented
Clone instead
