Here we add the ability to save subsystem benchmark results in JSON
format to display them as graphs

To draw graphs, CI team will use
[github-action-benchmark](https://github.com/benchmark-action/github-action-benchmark).
Since we are using custom benchmarks, we need to prepare [a specific
data
type](https://github.com/benchmark-action/github-action-benchmark?tab=readme-ov-file#examples):
```
[
    {
        "name": "CPU Load",
        "unit": "Percent",
        "value": 50
    }
]
```

Then we'll get graphs like this:

Let me know if this structure is adequate.

**Note:** The usage of the words `Merkle`, `Merkelize`, `Merklization`,
`Merkelization`, `Merkleization`, is somewhat inconsistent but I left it
as it is.

~~**Note:** In some places the term `Receival` is used to refer to
message reception, IMO `Reception` is the correct word here, but I left
it as it is.~~

~~**Note:** In some places the term `Overlayed` is used instead of the
more acceptable version `Overlaid` but I also left it as it is.~~

~~**Note:** In some places the term `Applyable` is used instead of the
correct version `Applicable` but I also left it as it is.~~

**Note:** Some usage of British vs American english e.g. `judgement` vs
`judgment`, `initialise` vs `initialize`, `optimise` vs `optimize` etc.
are both present in different places, but I suppose that's
understandable given the number of contributors.

~~**Note:** There is a spelling mistake in `.github/CODEOWNERS` but it
triggers errors in CI when I make changes to it, so I left it as it
is.~~

Fixes formatting for
https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/pull/3698

Adds availability-write regression tests.
The results for the `availability-distribution` subsystem are volatile,
so I had to reduce the precision of the test.

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

This PR doesn't contain any functional changes. 

The PR moves specific bridged chain definitions from
`bridges/primitives` to `bridges/chains` folder in order to facilitate
the migration of the `parity-bridges-repo` into `polkadot-sdk` as
discussed in https://hackmd.io/LprWjZ0bQXKpFeveYHIRXw?view

Apart from this it also includes some cosmetic changes to some
`Cargo.toml` files as a result of running `diener workspacify`.

Make sure explicitly set by the operator public addresses go first in
the authority discovery DHT records.

Also update `Discovery` behavior to eliminate duplicates in the returned
addresses.

This PR should improve situation with
https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/issues/3519.

Obsoletes https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/pull/3657.

Good day,

I'm seeking to add the following bootnodes for Kusama and Polkadot's
relay and system chains. The following commands can be used to test
connectivity. All node keys are backed up.

Polkadot:
```
polkadot --chain polkadot --base-path /tmp/node --name "Boot" --reserved-only --reserved-nodes "/dns/boot-polkadot.luckyfriday.io/tcp/443/wss/p2p/12D3KooWAdyiVAaeGdtBt6vn5zVetwA4z4qfm9Fi2QCSykN1wTBJ" --no-hardware-benchmarks

Small refactoring to reduce the algorithmic complexity of the initial
message distribution in approval voting after a sync from O(n_candidates
^ 2) to O(n_candidates).

This PR backports:
- node version bump
- `spec_vesion` bump
- reordering of the `prdocs` to the appropriate folder
from the `1.9.0` release branch

The PR adds two things:
1. Runtime API exposing the whole claim queue
2. Consumes the API in `collation-generation` to fetch the next
scheduled `ParaEntry` for an occupied core.

Related to https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/issues/1797

Introduces `CryptoBytes` type defined as:

```rust
pub struct CryptoBytes<const N: usize, Tag = ()>(pub [u8; N], PhantomData<fn() -> Tag>);
```

The type implements a bunch of methods and traits which are typically
expected from a byte array newtype
(NOTE: some of the methods and trait implementations IMO are a bit
redundant, but I decided to maintain them all to not change too much
stuff in this PR)

It also introduces two (generic) typical consumers of `CryptoBytes`:
`PublicBytes` and `SignatureBytes`.

```rust
pub struct PublicTag;
pub PublicBytes<const N: usize, CryptoTag> = CryptoBytes<N, (PublicTag, CryptoTag)>;

pub struct SignatureTag;
pub SignatureBytes<const N: usize, CryptoTag> = CryptoBytes<N, (SignatureTag, CryptoTag)>;
```

Both of them use a tag to differentiate the two types at a higher level.
Downstream specializations will further specialize using a dedicated
crypto tag. For example in ECDSA:


```rust
pub struct EcdsaTag;

pub type Public = PublicBytes<PUBLIC_KEY_SERIALIZED_SIZE, EcdsaTag>;
pub type Signature = PublicBytes<PUBLIC_KEY_SERIALIZED_SIZE, EcdsaTag>;
```

Overall we have a cleaner and most importantly **consistent** code for
all the types involved

All these details are opaque to the end user which can use `Public` and
`Signature` for the cryptos as before

On top of #3302.

We want the validators to upgrade first before we add changes to the
collation side to send the new variants, which is why this part is
extracted into a separate PR.

The detection of when to send the parent head is based on the core
assignments at the relay parent of the candidate. We probably want to
make it more flexible in the future, but for now, it will work for a
simple use case when a para always has multiple cores assigned to it.

Fixes #3128.

This introduces a new variant for the collation response from the
collator that includes the parent head data. For now, collators won't
send this new variant. We'll need to change the collator side of the
collator protocol to detect all the cores assigned to a para and send
the parent head data in the case when it's more than 1 core.

- [x] validate approach
- [x] check head data hash

This change includes new bootnodes for Paseo. 

_This is meant to be a silent PR_

Fixes https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/issues/3530

This is printed every 10 minutes, I see no reason why it shouldn't be in
all the logs, it would give us valuable information about what is going
on with node connectivity when validators come-back to us to report
issues.

Revert "FRAME: Create `TransactionExtension` as a replacement for `SignedExtension` (#2280)" (#3665)

This PR reverts #2280 which introduced `TransactionExtension` to replace
`SignedExtension`.

As a result of the discussion
[here](https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/pull/3623#issuecomment-1986789700),
the changes will be reverted for now with plans to reintroduce the
concept in the future.

Sometimes we see nodes printing this warning:
```
cannot query the runtime API version: Api called for an unknown Block: State already discarded for

The log is harmless, but let's print the api we got this for, so that we
can track its call site and truly confirm it is harmless or fix it.

This PR adds a new PolkaVM-based executor to Substrate.

- The executor can now be used to actually run a PolkaVM-based runtime,
and successfully produces blocks.
- The executor is always compiled-in, but is disabled by default.
- The `SUBSTRATE_ENABLE_POLKAVM` environment variable must be set to `1`
to enable the executor, in which case the node will accept both WASM and
PolkaVM program blobs (otherwise it'll default to WASM-only). This is
deliberately undocumented and not explicitly exposed anywhere (e.g. in
the command line arguments, or in the API) to disincentivize anyone from
enabling it in production. If/when we'll move this into production usage
I'll remove the environment variable and do it "properly".
- I did not use our legacy runtime allocator for the PolkaVM executor,
so currently every allocation inside of the runtime will leak guest
memory until that particular instance is destroyed. The idea here is
that I will work on the https://github.com/polkadot-fellows/RFCs/pull/4
which will remove the need for the legacy allocator under WASM, and that
will also allow us to use a proper non-leaking allocator under PolkaVM.
- I also did some minor cleanups of the WASM executor and deleted some
dead code.

No prdocs included since this is not intended to be an end-user feature,
but an unofficial experiment, and shouldn't affect any current
production user. Once this is production-ready a full Polkadot
Fellowship RFC will be necessary anyway.

Looking at rococo-asset-hub
https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/issues/3519 there seems to be
a lot of instances where collator did not advertise their collations,
while there are multiple problems there, one of it is that we are
connecting and disconnecting to our assigned validators every block,
because on reconnect_timeout every 4s we call connect_to_validators and
that will produce 0 validators when all went well, so set_reseverd_peers
called from validator discovery will disconnect all our peers.
More details here:
https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/issues/3519#issuecomment-1972667343

Now, this shouldn't be a problem, but it stacks with an existing bug in
our network stack where if disconnect from a peer the peer might not
notice it, so it won't detect the reconnect either and it won't send us
the necessary view updates, so we won't advertise the collation to it
more details here:

https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/issues/3519#issuecomment-1972958276

To avoid hitting this condition that often, let's keep the peers in the
reserved set for the entire duration we are allocated to a backing
group. Backing group sizes(1 rococo, 3 kusama, 5 polkadot) are really
small, so this shouldn't lead to that many connections. Additionally,
the validators would disconnect us any way if we don't advertise
anything for 4 blocks.

## TODO
- [x] More testing.
- [x] Confirm on rococo that this is improving the situation. (It
doesn't but just because other things are going wrong there).

Closes #2160

First part of [Extrinsic
Horizon](https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/issues/2415)

Introduces a new trait `TransactionExtension` to replace
`SignedExtension`. Introduce the idea of transactions which obey the
runtime's extensions and have according Extension data (né Extra data)
yet do not have hard-coded signatures.

Deprecate the terminology of "Unsigned" when used for
transactions/extrinsics owing to there now being "proper" unsigned
transactions which obey the extension framework and "old-style" unsigned
which do not. Instead we have __*General*__ for the former and
__*Bare*__ for the latter. (Ultimately, the latter will be phased out as
a type of transaction, and Bare will only be used for Inherents.)

Types of extrinsic are now therefore:
- Bare (no hardcoded signature, no Extra data; used to be known as
"Unsigned")
- Bare transactions (deprecated): Gossiped, validated with
`ValidateUnsigned` (deprecated) and the `_bare_compat` bits of
`TransactionExtension` (deprecated).
  - Inherents: Not gossiped, validated with `ProvideInherent`.
- Extended (Extra data): Gossiped, validated via `TransactionExtension`.
  - Signed transactions (with a hardcoded signature).
  - General transactions (without a hardcoded signature).

`TransactionExtension` differs from `SignedExtension` because:
- A signature on the underlying transaction may validly not be present.
- It may alter the origin during validation.
- `pre_dispatch` is renamed to `prepare` and need not contain the checks
present in `validate`.
- `validate` and `prepare` is passed an `Origin` rather than a
`AccountId`.
- `validate` may pass arbitrary information into `prepare` via a new
user-specifiable type `Val`.
- `AdditionalSigned`/`additional_signed` is renamed to
`Implicit`/`implicit`. It is encoded *for the entire transaction* and
passed in to each extension as a new argument to `validate`. This
facilitates the ability of extensions to acts as underlying crypto.

There is a new `DispatchTransaction` trait which contains only default
function impls and is impl'ed for any `TransactionExtension` impler. It
provides several utility functions which reduce some of the tedium from
using `TransactionExtension` (indeed, none of its regular functions
should now need to be called directly).

Three transaction version discriminator ("versions") are now
permissible:
- 0b000000100: Bare (used to be called "Unsigned"): contains Signature
or Extra (extension data). After bare transactions are no longer
supported, this will strictly identify an Inherents only.
- 0b100000100: Old-school "Signed" Transaction: contains Signature and
Extra (extension data).
- 0b010000100: New-school "General" Transaction: contains Extra
(extension data), but no Signature.

For the New-school General Transaction, it becomes trivial for authors
to publish extensions to the mechanism for authorizing an Origin, e.g.
through new kinds of key-signing schemes, ZK proofs, pallet state,
mutations over pre-authenticated origins or any combination of the
above.

## Code Migration

### NOW: Getting it to build

Wrap your `SignedExtension`s in `AsTransactionExtension`. This should be
accompanied by renaming your aggregate type in line with the new
terminology. E.g. Before:

```rust
/// The SignedExtension to the basic transaction logic.
pub type SignedExtra = (
	/* snip */
	MySpecialSignedExtension,
);
/// Unchecked extrinsic type as expected by this runtime.
pub type UncheckedExtrinsic =
	generic::UncheckedExtrinsic<Address, RuntimeCall, Signature, SignedExtra>;
```

After:

```rust
/// The extension to the basic transaction logic.
pub type TxExtension = (
	/* snip */
	AsTransactionExtension<MySpecialSignedExtension>,
);
/// Unchecked extrinsic type as expected by this runtime.
pub type UncheckedExtrinsic =
	generic::UncheckedExtrinsic<Address, RuntimeCall, Signature, TxExtension>;
```

You'll also need to alter any transaction building logic to add a
`.into()` to make the conversion happen. E.g. Before:

```rust
fn construct_extrinsic(
		/* snip */
) -> UncheckedExtrinsic {
	let extra: SignedExtra = (
		/* snip */
		MySpecialSignedExtension::new(/* snip */),
	);
	let payload = SignedPayload::new(call.clone(), extra.clone()).unwrap();
	let signature = payload.using_encoded(|e| sender.sign(e));
	UncheckedExtrinsic::new_signed(
		/* snip */
		Signature::Sr25519(signature),
		extra,
	)
}
```

After:

```rust
fn construct_extrinsic(
		/* snip */
) -> UncheckedExtrinsic {
	let tx_ext: TxExtension = (
		/* snip */
		MySpecialSignedExtension::new(/* snip */).into(),
	);
	let payload = SignedPayload::new(call.clone(), tx_ext.clone()).unwrap();
	let signature = payload.using_encoded(|e| sender.sign(e));
	UncheckedExtrinsic::new_signed(
		/* snip */
		Signature::Sr25519(signature),
		tx_ext,
	)
}
```

### SOON: Migrating to `TransactionExtension`

Most `SignedExtension`s can be trivially converted to become a
`TransactionExtension`. There are a few things to know.

- Instead of a single trait like `SignedExtension`, you should now
implement two traits individually: `TransactionExtensionBase` and
`TransactionExtension`.
- Weights are now a thing and must be provided via the new function `fn
weight`.

#### `TransactionExtensionBase`

This trait takes care of anything which is not dependent on types
specific to your runtime, most notably `Call`.

- `AdditionalSigned`/`additional_signed` is renamed to
`Implicit`/`implicit`.
- Weight must be returned by implementing the `weight` function. If your
extension is associated with a pallet, you'll probably want to do this
via the pallet's existing benchmarking infrastructure.

#### `TransactionExtension`

Generally:
- `pre_dispatch` is now `prepare` and you *should not reexecute the
`validate` functionality in there*!
- You don't get an account ID any more; you get an origin instead. If
you need to presume an account ID, then you can use the trait function
`AsSystemOriginSigner::as_system_origin_signer`.
- You get an additional ticket, similar to `Pre`, called `Val`. This
defines data which is passed from `validate` into `prepare`. This is
important since you should not be duplicating logic from `validate` to
`prepare`, you need a way of passing your working from the former into
the latter. This is it.
- This trait takes two type parameters: `Call` and `Context`. `Call` is
the runtime call type which used to be an associated type; you can just
move it to become a type parameter for your trait impl. `Context` is not
currently used and you can safely implement over it as an unbounded
type.
- There's no `AccountId` associated type any more. Just remove it.

Regarding `validate`:
- You get three new parameters in `validate`; all can be ignored when
migrating from `SignedExtension`.
- `validate` returns a tuple on success; the second item in the tuple is
the new ticket type `Self::Val` which gets passed in to `prepare`. If
you use any information extracted during `validate` (off-chain and
on-chain, non-mutating) in `prepare` (on-chain, mutating) then you can
pass it through with this. For the tuple's last item, just return the
`origin` argument.

Regarding `prepare`:
- This is renamed from `pre_dispatch`, but there is one change:
- FUNCTIONALITY TO VALIDATE THE TRANSACTION NEED NOT BE DUPLICATED FROM
`validate`!!
- (This is different to `SignedExtension` which was required to run the
same checks in `pre_dispatch` as in `validate`.)

Regarding `post_dispatch`:
- Since there are no unsigned transactions handled by
`TransactionExtension`, `Pre` is always defined, so the first parameter
is `Self::Pre` rather than `Option<Self::Pre>`.

If you make use of `SignedExtension::validate_unsigned` or
`SignedExtension::pre_dispatch_unsigned`, then:
- Just use the regular versions of these functions instead.
- Have your logic execute in the case that the `origin` is `None`.
- Ensure your transaction creation logic creates a General Transaction
rather than a Bare Transaction; this means having to include all
`TransactionExtension`s' data.
- `ValidateUnsigned` can still be used (for now) if you need to be able
to construct transactions which contain none of the extension data,
however these will be phased out in stage 2 of the Transactions Horizon,
so you should consider moving to an extension-centric design.

## TODO

- [x] Introduce `CheckSignature` impl of `TransactionExtension` to
ensure it's possible to have crypto be done wholly in a
`TransactionExtension`.
- [x] Deprecate `SignedExtension` and move all uses in codebase to
`TransactionExtension`.
  - [x] `ChargeTransactionPayment`
  - [x] `DummyExtension`
  - [x] `ChargeAssetTxPayment` (asset-tx-payment)
  - [x] `ChargeAssetTxPayment` (asset-conversion-tx-payment)

  - [x] `CheckTxVersion`
  - [x] `CheckSpecVersion`
  - [x] `CheckNonce`
  - [x] `CheckNonZeroSender`
  - [x] `CheckMortality`
  - [x] `CheckGenesis`
  - [x] `CheckOnlySudoAccount`
  - [x] `WatchDummy`
  - [x] `PrevalidateAttests`
  - [x] `GenericSignedExtension`
  - [x] `SignedExtension` (chain-polkadot-bulletin)
  - [x] `RefundSignedExtensionAdapter`
- [x] Implement `fn weight` across the board.
- [ ] Go through all pre-existing extensions which assume an account
signer and explicitly handle the possibility of another kind of origin.
- [x] `CheckNonce` should probably succeed in the case of a non-account
origin.
- [x] `CheckNonZeroSender` should succeed in the case of a non-account
origin.
- [x] `ChargeTransactionPayment` and family should fail in the case of a
non-account origin.
  - [ ] 
- [x] Fix any broken tests.

https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/issues/3130

builds on top of https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/pull/3160

Processes the availability cores and builds a record of how many
candidates it should request from prospective-parachains and their
predecessors.
Tries to supply as many candidates as the runtime can back. Note that
the runtime changes to back multiple candidates per para are not yet
done, but this paves the way for it.

The following backing/inclusion policy is assumed:
1. the runtime will never back candidates of the same para which don't
form a chain with the already backed candidates. Even if the others are
still pending availability. We're optimistic that they won't time out
and we don't want to back parachain forks (as the complexity would be
huge).
2. if a candidate is timed out of the core before being included, all of
its successors occupying a core will be evicted.
3. only the candidates which are made available and form a chain
starting from the on-chain para head may be included/enacted and cleared
from the cores. In other words, if para head is at A and the cores are
occupied by B->C->D, and B and D are made available, only B will be
included and its core cleared. C and D will remain on the cores awaiting
for C to be made available or timed out. As point (2) above already
says, if C is timed out, D will also be dropped.
4. The runtime will deduplicate candidates which form a cycle. For
example if the provisioner supplies candidates A->B->A, the runtime will
only back A (as the state output will be the same)

Note that if a candidate is timed out, we don't guarantee that in the
next relay chain block the block author will be able to fill all of the
timed out cores of the para. That increases complexity by a lot.
Instead, the provisioner will supply N candidates where N is the number
of candidates timed out, but doesn't include their successors which will
be also deleted by the runtime. This'll be backfilled in the next relay
chain block.

- For non prospective-parachains, don't supply multiple candidates per
para (we can't have elastic scaling without prospective parachains
enabled). paras_inherent should already sanitise this input but it's
more efficient this way.

Note: all of these changes are backwards-compatible with the
non-elastic-scaling scenario (one core per para).

### What's been done
- `subsystem-bench` has been split into two parts: a cli benchmark
runner and a library.
- The cli runner is quite simple. It just allows us to run `.yaml` based
test sequences. Now it should only be used to run benchmarks during
development.
- The library is used in the cli runner and in regression tests. Some
code is changed to make the library independent of the runner.
- Added first regression tests for availability read and write that
replicate existing test sequences.

### How we run regression tests
- Regression tests are simply rust integration tests without the
harnesses.
- They should only be compiled under the `subsystem-benchmarks` feature
to prevent them from running with other tests.
- This doesn't work when running tests with `nextest` in CI, so
additional filters have been added to the `nextest` runs.
- Each benchmark run takes a different time in the beginning, so we
"warm up" the tests until their CPU usage differs by only 1%.
- After the warm-up, we run the benchmarks a few more times and compare
the average with the exception using a precision.

### What is still wrong?
- I haven't managed to set up approval voting tests. The spread of their
results is too large and can't be narrowed down in a reasonable amount
of time in the warm-up phase.
- The tests start an unconfigurable prometheus endpoint inside, which
causes errors because they use the same 9999 port. I disable it with a
flag, but I think it's better to extract the endpoint launching outside
the test, as we already do with `valgrind` and `pyroscope`. But we still
use `prometheus` inside the tests.

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.

Closes https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk-docs/issues/55

- Changes 'current storage version' terminology to less ambiguous
'in-code storage version' (suggestion by @ggwpez

)
- Adds a new example pallet `pallet-example-single-block-migrations`
- Adds a new reference doc to replace
https://docs.substrate.io/maintain/runtime-upgrades/ (temporarily living
in the pallet while we wait for developer hub PR to merge)
- Adds documentation for the `storage_alias` macro
- Improves `trait Hooks` docs 
- Improves `trait GetStorageVersion` docs
- Update the suggested patterns for using `VersionedMigration`, so that
version unchecked migrations are never exported
- Prevents accidental usage of version unchecked migrations in runtimes

https://github.com/paritytech/substrate/pull/14421#discussion_r1255467895
- Unversioned migration code is kept inside `mod version_unchecked`,
versioned code is kept in `pub mod versioned`
- It is necessary to use modules to limit visibility because the inner
migration must be `pub`. See
https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/30905 and

https://internals.rust-lang.org/t/lang-team-minutes-private-in-public-rules/4504/40

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.

```

Best regards,

Petr, Polkadotters

Add more debug logs to understand if statement-distribution is in a bad
state, should be useful for debugging
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.
