Dmitry Markin 96ebb305ed Prepare syncing for parallel sync strategies (#3224)
This PR should supersede
https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/pull/2814 and accomplish the
same with less changes. It's needed to run sync strategies in parallel,
like running `ChainSync` and `GapSync` as independent strategies, and
running `ChainSync` and Sync 2.0 alongside each other.

The difference with https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/pull/2814
is that we allow simultaneous requests to remote peers initiated by
different strategies, as this is not tracked on the remote node in any
way. Therefore, `PeerPool` is not needed.

Dmitry Markin 5208bed7d2 Extract warp sync strategy from ChainSync (#2467)
Extract `WarpSync` (and `StateSync` as part of warp sync) from
`ChainSync` as independent syncing strategy called by `SyncingEngine`.
Introduce `SyncingStrategy` enum as a proxy between `SyncingEngine` and
specific syncing strategies.

## Limitations
Gap sync is kept in `ChainSync` for now because it shares the same set
of peers as block syncing implementation in `ChainSync`. Extraction of a
common context responsible for peer management in syncing strategies
able to run in parallel is planned for a follow-up PR.

## Further improvements
A possibility of conversion of `SyncingStartegy` into a trait should be
evaluated. The main stopper for this is that different strategies need
to communicate different actions to `SyncingEngine` and respond to
different events / provide different APIs (e.g., requesting
justifications is only possible via `ChainSync` and not through
`WarpSync`; `SendWarpProofRequest` action is only relevant to
`WarpSync`, etc.)
