[Maybe followup](https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/issues/4217)
with migration of storage item `VirtualStakers` as a bool or enum in
`Ledger`.

## Context
We want to achieve a way for a user (`Delegator`) to delegate their
funds to another account (`Agent`). Delegate implies the funds are
locked in delegator account itself. Agent can act on behalf of delegator
to stake directly on Staking pallet.

The delegation feature is added to Staking via another pallet
`delegated-staking` worked on
[here](https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/pull/3904).

## Introduces:
### StakingUnchecked Trait
As the name implies, this trait allows unchecked (non-locked) mutation
of staking ledger. These apis are only meant to be used by other pallets
in the runtime and should not be exposed directly to user code path.
Also related: https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/issues/3888.

### Virtual Bond
Allows other pallets to stake via staking pallet while managing the
locks on these accounts themselves. Introduces another storage
`VirtualStakers` that whitelist these accounts.

We also restrict virtual stakers to set reward account as themselves.
Since the account has no locks, we cannot support compounding of
rewards. Conservatively, we require them to set a separate account
different from the staker. Since these are code managed, it should be
easy for another pallet to redistribute reward and rebond them.

### Slashes
Since there is no actual lock maintained by staking-pallet for virtual
stakers, this pallet does not apply any slashes. It is then important
for pallets managing virtual stakers to listen to slashing events and
apply necessary slashes.

Introduce `touch` call designed to address operational prerequisites
before providing liquidity to a pool.

This function ensures that essential requirements, such as the presence
of the pool's accounts, are fulfilled. It is particularly beneficial in
scenarios where a pool creator removes the pool's accounts without
providing liquidity.

- Moved `substrate/frame/contracts/src/tests/builder.rs` into a pub
test_utils module, so we can use that in the
`pallet-contracts-mock-network` tests
- Refactor xcm tests to use XCM builders, and simplify the use case for
xcm-send

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.

Improve doc:

* the pallet macro is actually referring to 2 places, for the module and
for the struct placeholder but doesn't really clarify it (I should have
named the latter just `pallet_struct` or something but it is a bit late)

* The doc of `with_default` is a bit confusing too IMO.

This PR introduces changes enabling the transfer of coretime regions via
XCM.

TL;DR: There are two primary issues that are resolved in this PR:

1. The `mint` and `burn` functions were not implemented for coretime
regions. These operations are essential for moving assets to and from
the XCM holding register.
2. The transfer of non-fungible assets through XCM was previously
disallowed. This was due to incorrectly benchmarking non-fungible asset
transfers via XCM, which led to assigning it a weight of `Weight::Max`,
effectively preventing its execution.

### `mint_into` and `burn` implementation

This PR addresses the issue with cross-chain transferring regions back
to the Coretime chain. Remote reserve transfers are performed by
withdrawing and depositing the asset to and from the holding registry.
This requires the asset to support burning and minting functionality.

This PR adds burning and minting; however, they work a bit differently
than usual so that the associated region record is not lost when
burning. Instead of removing all the data, burning will set the owner of
the region to `None`, and when minting it back, it will set it to an
actual value. So, when cross-chain transferring, withdrawing into the
registry will remove the region from its original owner, and when
depositing it from the registry, it will set its owner to another
account

This was originally implemented in this PR: #3455, however we decided to
move all of it to this single PR
(https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/pull/3455#discussion_r1547324892)

### Fixes made in this PR

- Update the `XcmReserveTransferFilter` on coretime chain since it is
meant as a reserve chain for coretime regions.
- Update the XCM benchmark to use `AssetTransactor` instead of assuming
`pallet-balances` for fungible transfers.
- Update the XCM benchmark to properly measure weight consumption for
nonfungible reserve asset transfers. ATM reserve transfers via the
extrinsic do not work since the weight for it is set to `Weight::max()`.

`LiveAsset` is an error to be returned when an asset is not supposed to
be live.
And `AssetNotLive` is an error to be returned when an asset is supposed
to be live, I don't think frozen qualifies as live.

The first test proves that parachains who were migrated over on a legacy
lease can renew without downtime.

The exception is if their lease expires in period 0 - aka within
`region_length` timeslices after `start_sales` is called. The second
test is designed such that it passes if the issue exists and should be
fixed.
This will require an intervention on Kusama to add these renewals to
storage as it is too tight to schedule a runtime upgrade before the
start_sales call. All leases will still have at least two full regions
of coretime.

Small adjustments which should make understanding what is going on much
easier for future readers.

Initialization is a bit messy, the very least we should do is adding
documentation to make it harder to use wrongly.

I was thinking about calling `request_core_count` right from
`start_sales`, but as explained in the docs, this is not necessarily
what you want.

Current benchmarking macro returns a closure with the captured
benchmarked code.
This can cause issues when the benchmarked code has complex lifetime
requirements.

This PR updates the existing macro by injecting the recording parameter
and invoking the start / stop method around the benchmarked block
instead of returning a closure

One other added benefit is that you can write this kind of code now as
well:

```rust
let v;
#[block]
{ v = func.call(); }
dbg!(v); // or assert something on v
```

Fix some broken legacy definitions of pallet_contracts_uapi storage host
functions

Cumulus test-parachain node and test runtime were still using relay
chain consensus and 12s blocktimes. With async backing around the corner
on the major chains we should switch our tests too.

Also needed to nicely test the changes coming to collators in #3168.

### Changes Overview
- Followed the [migration
guide](https://wiki.polkadot.network/docs/maintain-guides-async-backing)
for async backing for the cumulus-test-runtime
- Adjusted the cumulus-test-service to use the correct import-queue,
lookahead collator etc.
- The block validation function now uses the Aura Ext Executor so that
the seal of the block is validated
- Previous point requires that we seal block before calling into
`validate_block`, I introduced a helper function for that
- Test client adjusted to provide a slot to the relay chain proof and
the aura pre-digest

Update the Contracts API to use `WeightMeter`, as it simplifies the code
and makes it easier to reason about, rather than taking a mutable weight
or returning a tuple with the weight consumed

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 subs...

`frame_support_procedural` doc comments, since these doc comments are

This PR adds a check that `max_timeslices > 0` and errors if not. It
also adds a test for this behaviour and cleans up some misleading docs.

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).

Implementation of #1984.
