Igor Matuszewski 028f3d2674 Merge 2.0.1 backport branch into mainline master (#7842)
* Backport paritytech/substrate#7381

* Bring back genesis storage build in aura/timestamp

To not change spec version, see
https://github.com/paritytech/substrate/pull/7686#discussion_r540032743

* Backport paritytech/substrate#7238

* Backport paritytech/substrate#7395

* Bump impl_version

* Fix UI tests and bump trybuild dep

See https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/73996

Backports:
https://github.com/paritytech/substrate/pull/7764
https://github.com/paritytech/substrate/pull/7656

* Partially backport paritytech/substrate#7838

* Release frame-support with a dep compilation fix

* Bump patch level for remaining crates

This is done because at the time of writing cargo-unleash does not fully
support partial workspace publishing and mixes both local and crates.io
versions of the packages, leading to errors in the release check workflow.

* Backport paritytech/substrate#7854

...to fix compilation error when using futures-* v0.3.9.

* Adding Changelog  entry for patch release

Aura (Authority-round) consensus in substrate.

Aura works by having a list of authorities A who are expected to roughly agree on the current time. Time is divided up into discrete slots of t seconds each. For each slot s, the author of that slot is A[s % |A|].

The author is allowed to issue one block but not more during that slot, and it will be built upon the longest valid chain that has been seen.

Blocks from future steps will be either deferred or rejected depending on how far in the future they are.

NOTE: Aura itself is designed to be generic over the crypto used.
