Use dynamic aura slot duration in lookahead collator (#3211)

It's a follow-up of #2949. It enables the lookahead collator to
dynamically adjust the aura slot size, which may change during the
runtime upgrade. It also addressed a couple of issues with time
constants I missed in the original PR.

Good news: it works. The parachain successfully switches from sync
backing with 12s slots to async backing with 6s slots.

Bad news: during the transitional period of a single block in which the
actual runtime upgrade is performed, it still gets the old slot duration
of 12s (as it gets it from the best block), resulting in a runtime panic
(logs follow). That doesn't affect the following block production of the
parachain. Ideas on how to improve the situation are appreciated.
