This PR:
- moves `validate_xcm_nesting` from `XcmpQueue` into the `VersionedXcm`
- adds `validate_xcm_nesting` to the `ParentAsUmp`
- adds `validate_xcm_nesting` to the `ChildParachainRouter`


Based on discussion
[here](https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/pull/4186#discussion_r1571344270)
and/or

and/or [here]()

## Question/TODO

- [x] To the
[comment](https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/pull/4186#discussion_r1572072295)
- Why was `validate_xcm_nesting` added just to the `XcmpQueue` router
and nowhere else? What kind of problem `MAX_XCM_DECODE_DEPTH` is
solving? (see
[comment](https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/pull/4236#discussion_r1574605191))

Basically combines all the recommended calls into one
`build_using_defaults()` call or `init_with_defaults()` when there are
some custom changes required.

Preparation for https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/pull/3935

Changes:
- Add some `default-features = false` for the case that a crate and that
dependency both support nostd builds.
- Shuffle files around of some benchmarking-only crates. These
conditionally disabled the `cfg_attr` for nostd and pulled in libstd.
Example [here](https://github.com/ggwpez/zepter/pull/95). The actual
logic is moved into a `inner.rs` to preserve nostd capability of the
crate in case the benchmarking feature is disabled.
- Add some `use sp_std::vec` where needed.
- Remove some `optional = true` in cases where it was not optional.
- Removed one superfluous `cfg_attr(not(feature = "std"), no_std..`.

All in all this should be logical no-op.

Introduce types to define 1:1 balance conversion for different relative
asset ids/locations of native asset.

Examples:
native asset on Asset Hub presented as `VersionedLocatableAsset` type in
the context of Relay Chain is
```
{
  `location`: (0, Parachain(1000)),
  `asset_id`: (1, Here),
}
```
and it's balance should be converted 1:1 by implementations of
`ConversionToAssetBalance` trait.

This MR contains two major changes and some maintenance cleanup.  

## 1. Free Standing Pallet Benchmark Runner

Closes https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/issues/3045, depends
on your runtime exposing the `GenesisBuilderApi` (like
https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/pull/1492).

Introduces a new binary crate: `frame-omni-bencher`.  
It allows to directly benchmark a WASM blob - without needing a node or
chain spec.

This makes it much easier to generate pallet weights and should allow us
to remove bloaty code from the node.
It should work for all FRAME runtimes that dont use 3rd party host calls
or non `BlakeTwo256` block hashing (basically all polkadot parachains
should work).

It is 100% backwards compatible with the old CLI args, when the `v1`
compatibility command is used. This is done to allow for forwards
compatible addition of new commands.

### Example (full example in the Rust docs)

Installing the CLI:
```sh
cargo install --locked --path substrate/utils/frame/omni-bencher
frame-omni-bencher --help
```

Building the Westend runtime:
```sh
cargo build -p westend-runtime --release --features runtime-benchmarks
```

Benchmarking the runtime:
```sh
frame-omni-bencher v1 benchmark pallet --runtime target/release/wbuild/westend-runtime/westend_runtime.compact.compressed.wasm --all
```

## 2. Building the Benchmark Genesis State in the Runtime

Closes https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/issues/2664

This adds `--runtime` and `--genesis-builder=none|runtime|spec`
arguments to the `benchmark pallet` command to make it possible to
generate the genesis storage by the runtime. This can be used with both
the node and the freestanding benchmark runners. It utilizes the new
`GenesisBuilder` RA and depends on having
https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/pull/3412 deployed.

## 3. Simpler args for `PalletCmd::run`

You can do three things here to integrate the changes into your node:
- nothing: old code keeps working as before but emits a deprecated
warning
- delete: remove the pallet benchmarking code from your node and use the
omni-bencher instead
- patch: apply the patch below and keep using as currently. This emits a
deprecated warning at runtime, since it uses the old way to generate a
genesis state, but is the smallest change.

```patch
runner.sync_run(|config| cmd
-    .run::<HashingFor<Block>, ReclaimHostFunctions>(config)
+    .run_with_spec::<HashingFor<Block>, ReclaimHostFunctions>(Some(config.chain_spec))
)
```

## 4. Maintenance Change
- `pallet-nis` get a `BenchmarkSetup` config item to prepare its
counterparty asset.
- Add percent progress print when running benchmarks.
- Dont immediately exit on benchmark error but try to run as many as
possible and print errors last.

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).

migrations: prevent accidentally using unversioned migrations instead of `VersionedMigration` (#3835)

closes #1324 

#### Problem
Currently, it is possible to accidentally use inner unversioned
migration instead of `VersionedMigration` since both implement
`OnRuntimeUpgrade`.

#### Solution

With this change, we make it clear that value of `Inner` is not intended
to be used directly. It is achieved by bounding `Inner` to new trait
`UncheckedOnRuntimeUpgrade`, which has the same interface (except
`unchecked_` prefix) as `OnRuntimeUpgrade`.

#### `try-runtime` functions

Since developers can implement `try-runtime` for `Inner` value in
`VersionedMigration` and have custom logic for it, I added the same
`try-runtime` functions to `UncheckedOnRuntimeUpgrade`. I looked for a
ways to not duplicate functions, but couldn't find anything that doesn't
significantly change the codebase. So I would appreciate If you have any
suggestions to improve this

Working towards migrating the `parity-bridges-common` repo inside
`polkadot-sdk`. This PR upgrades some dependencies in order to align
them with the versions used in `parity-bridges-common`

Related to
https://github.com/paritytech/parity-bridges-common/issues/2538

When using `schedule_code_upgrade` to change the code of a parachain in
the relay chain runtime, we had already fixed to not set the `GoAhead`
signal. This was done to not brick any parachain after the upgrade,
because they were seeing the signal without having any upgrade prepared.
The remaining problem is that the parachain code is only upgraded after
a parachain header was enacted, aka the parachain made some progress.
However, this is quite complicated if the parachain is bricked (which is
the most common scenario why to manually schedule a code upgrade). Thus,
this pull request replaces `SetGoAhead` with `UpgradeStrategy` to signal
to the logic kind of strategy want to use. The strategies are either
`SetGoAheadSignal` or `ApplyAtExpectedBlock`. `SetGoAheadSignal` sets
the go ahead signal as before and awaits a parachain block.
`ApplyAtExpectedBlock` schedules the upgrade and applies it directly at
the `expected_block` without waiting for the parachain to make any kind
of progress.

Fix "double-weights" for extrinsics, use only the ones benchmarked in
the runtime.

Deprecate extrinsics that don't specify WeightLimit, remove their usage
across the repo.

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.

Removes transient code introduced to clean up offchain database after
`im-online` pallet removal.

Should be merged after #2290 has been enacted.

This PR adds a new extrinsic `Call::restore_ledger ` gated by
`StakingAdmin` origin that restores a corrupted staking ledger. This
extrinsic will be used to recover ledgers that were affected by the
issue discussed in
https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/issues/3245.

The extrinsic will re-write the storage items associated with a stash
account provided as input parameter. The data used to reset the ledger
can be either i) fetched on-chain or ii) partially/totally set by the
input parameters of the call.

In order to use on-chain data to restore the staking locks, we need a
way to read the current lock in the balances pallet. This PR adds a
`InspectLockableCurrency` trait and implements it in the pallet
balances. An alternative would be to tightly couple staking with the
pallet balances but that's inelegant (an example of how it would look
like in [this
branch](https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/tree/gpestana/ledger-badstate-clean_tightly)).

More details on the type of corruptions and corresponding fixes
https://hackmd.io/DLb5jEYWSmmvqXC9ae4yRg?view#/

We verified that the `Call::restore_ledger` does fix all current
corrupted ledgers in Polkadot and Kusama. You can verify it here
https://hackmd.io/v-XNrEoGRpe7APR-EZGhOA.

**Changes introduced**
- Adds `Call::restore_ledger ` extrinsic to recover a corrupted ledger;
- Adds trait `frame_support::traits::currency::InspectLockableCurrency`
to allow external pallets to read current locks given an account and
lock ID;
- Implements the `InspectLockableCurrency` in the pallet-balances.
- Adds staking locks try-runtime checks

The PR provides API for obtaining:
- the weight required to execute an XCM message,
- a list of acceptable `AssetId`s for message execution payment,
- the cost of the weight in the specified acceptable `AssetId`.

It is meant to address an issue where one has to guess how much fee to
pay for execution. Also, at the moment, a client has to guess which
assets are acceptable for fee execution payment.
See the related issue
https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/issues/690.
With this API, a client is supposed to query the list of the supported
asset IDs (in the XCM version format the client understands), weigh the
XCM program the client wants to execute and convert the weight into one
of the acceptable assets. Note that the client is supposed to know what
program will be executed on what chains. However, having a small
companion JS library for the pallet-xcm and xtokens should be enough to
determine what XCM programs will be executed and where (since these
pallets compose a known small set of programs).
```Rust
pub trait XcmPaymentApi<Call>
	where
		Call: Codec,
	{
		/// Returns a list of acceptable payment assets.
		///
		/// # Arguments
		///
		/// * `xcm_version`: Version.
		fn query_acceptable_payment_assets(xcm_version: Version) -> Result<Vec<VersionedAssetId>, Error>;
		/// Returns a weight needed to execute a XCM.
		///
		/// # Arguments

		fn query_xcm_weight(message: VersionedXcm<Call>) -> Result<Weight, Error>;

		fn query_weight_to_asset_fee(weight: Weight, asset: VersionedAssetId) -> Result<u128, Error>;
		/// Get delivery fees for sending a specific `message` to a `destination`.
		/// These always come in a specific asset, defined by the chain.

This PR notifies broker pallet for any parachain slot swaps performed on
the relay chain. This is achieved by registering an `OnSwap` for the the
`coretime` pallet. The hook sends XCM message to the broker chain and
invokes a new extrinsic `swap_leases` which updates `Leases` storage
item (which keeps the legacy parachain leases).

I made two assumptions in this PR:
1.
[`Leases`](https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/blob/4987d798/substrate/frame/broker/src/lib.rs#L120)
in `broker` pallet and
[`Leases`](https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/blob/4987d798

/polkadot/runtime/common/src/slots/mod.rs#L118)
in `slots` pallet are in sync.
2. `swap_leases` extrinsic from `broker` pallet can be triggered only by
root or by the XCM message from the relay chain. If not - the extrinsic
will generate an error and do nothing.

As a side effect from the changes `OnSwap` trait is moved from
runtime/common/traits.rs to runtime/parachains. Otherwise it is not
accessible from `broker` pallet.
