Fixes https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/issues/3144

Builds on top of https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/pull/3229

### 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.

TODO:
- [x] fix tests
- [x] add new tests
- [x] Bump runtime API for Kusama, so we have that node features thing!
