Sync with `polkadot-v1.8.0`

To fix `ink!` CI with
https://github.com/paritytech/substrate-contracts-node/pull/224

Adds `--finalize-delay-sec` cli argument, based on the great work by
@shunsukew at https://github.com/inkdevhub/swanky-node/pull/61.

Manual testing by starting node with/without option, along with example
contract upload:
```shell
# build example contract
cargo contract build --manifest-path=../ink-examples/erc20/Cargo.toml

# start node
cargo run

# upload contract
cargo contract upload --suri //Alice --execute --manifest-path=../ink-examples/erc20/Cargo.toml
# check finalized head remains at genesis
sleep 1
test $(curl -sH "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"id":"1", "jsonrpc":"2.0", "method": "chainHead_unstable_genesisHash", "params":[]}' http://localhost:9944 | jq .result) \
  = $(curl -sH "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"id":"1", "jsonrpc":"2.0", "method": "chain_getFinalizedHead", "params":[]}' http://localhost:9944 | jq .result) && echo PASS || echo FAIL


# start node (with delayed finalization)
cargo run -- --finalize-delay-sec 1

# upload contract
cargo contract upload --suri //Alice --execute --manifest-path=../ink-examples/erc20/Cargo.toml
# check finalized head matches chain head
sleep 1
test $(curl -sH "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"id":"1", "jsonrpc":"2.0", "method": "chain_getHead", "params":[]}' http://localhost:9944 | jq .result) \
  = $(curl -sH "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"id":"1", "jsonrpc":"2.0", "method": "chain_getFinalizedHead", "params":[]}' http://localhost:9944 | jq .result) && echo PASS || echo FAIL

```

Closes #160

It has been reported an issue
(https://github.com/paritytech/ink/issues/1985) that weight_to_fee
always returns zero in end-to-end tests.
This pull request adds `type FeeMultiplierUpdate =
SlowAdjustingFeeUpdate<Self>` to make it work.

Add back the version here this is required for deployment

The first attept to use a workflow to protect GitLab CI from untrusted
contributors failed, because GitHub doesn't pass secrets to workflows
for PRs that originate from forks.
 
This uses a different approach: instead of triggerring gitspiegel API
directly from the workflow, we're just spawning an empty workflow with a
specific path, and gitspiegel listens for `workflow_run` event to start
mirroring.

The idea is the same: for the first-time contributors, running workflows
would require manual aciton and that would block mirroring. But this
time, we don't need any secrets to make it work.

This PR update the current code to use the parachain-template-code.
The template code has been modified to allow continued use of a solo
node, preserving existing behaviors by default.

when launched using the --chain "contracts-parachain-local", it will now
starts a parachain instead.

Using a workflow to trigger mirroring instead of a webhook allows us to
reuse "Approving workflow runs from public forks" GitHub feature to
somewhat protect us from malicious PRs

Closes #203. This will be the first release to crates.io:

- Use crates.io dependencies, remove chain extension #204

Use all substrate/polkadot-sdk dependencies from crates.io, remove
`pallet-asset-chain-extension` so we can release this to crates.io. See
#203

Sync with `polkadot-v1.0.0` in order to include
https://github.com/paritytech/substrate/pull/14642.

Fixes #200

Updates lockfile to point to `polkadot-1.0.0` HEAD, to include the
enabling of `sign_ext`

- [x] Needs update of
https://github.com/727-Ventures/pallet-assets-chain-extension to
`polkadot-v1.0.0`
- [x] Diff and apply commits between `0.9.43` and `1.0.0`

Required for https://github.com/paritytech/ink/pull/1795 and
https://github.com/paritytech/cargo-contract/pull/1149

#180 upgraded to
[polkadot-v0.9.42](https://github.com/paritytech/substrate/tree/polkadot-v0.9.42).

This PR bumps the version to `0.26.0` in preparation for a release tag.

As discussed with @Kianenigma, @PierreBesson

 and others, this pull
request brings the ability to spin up a Codespace instance inside this
repository. The PR has two components:

- `devContainer.json`: The setup instructions to initialize the instance
with
- `updateContentCommand.sh`: A custom shell script to install the necessary
dependencies for Substrate and the contracts node template on the
Codespace instance that is invoked immediately after the instance is
created

It also includes a badge in the README to allow users to start a Codespace instance using these settings from their own GitHub account.

In recent PR
https://github.com/paritytech/substrate-contracts-node/pull/182#issuecomment-1536514910,
the CI step of running `cargo test` was commented out as a dirty
workaround for the pallet contracts integrity test failure. The test
checks that the pallet configuration is memory safe.

So to make the test pass, we enlarge the runtime memory limit in the
Schedule. We do this because this development node
[allows](https://github.com/paritytech/substrate-contracts-node/blob/8d13ddef3f5c728d1661e79c511a28cef206b298/runtime/src/lib.rs#L367)
larger contract size than it is normally allowed in a production running
node. This should be fine for the development node where possible
security implications could be neglected for the sake of development
convenience. **However, please DO NOT do this to your production node
config, unless you are sure that the limit you're setting is the real
memory limit of your runtime**.

This is needed in order to make the e2e test for
[call_runtime](https://github.com/paritytech/ink/blob/e267dd15730c3d19d5030fa440292f849acf9960/integration-tests/call-runtime/lib.rs#L150)
pass

Minor improvements including spelling and fixing broken links.

This flag got removed from Substrate a while ago.

Sync the repository with Substrate's
[polkadot-v0.9.37](https://github.com/paritytech/substrate/tree/polkadot-v0.9.37)
branch.

The utility pallet is required for batch transactions to work in
polkadot-js and should therefore be included in the substrate contracts
node.
