Alexandru Vasile 287b116c3e chainHead: Ensure reasonable distance between leaf and finalized block (#3562)
This PR ensure that the distance between any leaf and the finalized
block is within a reasonable distance.

For a new subscription, the chainHead has to provide all blocks between
the leaves of the chain and the finalized block.
 When the distance between a leaf and the finalized block is large:
 - The tree route is costly to compute
 - We could deliver an unbounded number of blocks (potentially millions)
(For more details see
https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/pull/3445#discussion_r1507210283)

The configuration of the ChainHead is extended with:
- suspend on lagging distance: When the distance between any leaf and
the finalized block is greater than this number, the subscriptions are
suspended for a given duration.
- All active subscriptions are terminated with the `Stop` event, all
blocks are unpinned and data discarded.
- For incoming subscriptions, until the suspended period expires the
subscriptions will immediately receive the `Stop` event.
    - Defaults to 128 blocks
- suspended duration: The amount of time for which subscriptions are
suspended
    - Defaults to 30 seconds

Substrate is a next-generation framework for blockchain innovation 🚀.

Getting Started

Head to docs.substrate.io and follow the installation instructions. Then try out one of the tutorials. Refer to the Docker instructions to quickly run Substrate, Substrate Node Template, Subkey, or to build a chain spec.

Community & Support

Join the highly active and supportive community on the Substrate Stack Exchange to ask questions about use and problems you run into using this software. Please do report bugs and issues here for anything you suspect requires action in the source.

Contributions & Code of Conduct

Please follow the contributions guidelines as outlined in docs/contributor/CONTRIBUTING.md. In all communications and contributions, this project follows the Contributor Covenant Code of Conduct.

Security

The security policy and procedures can be found in docs/contributor/SECURITY.md.

License

The reason for the split-licensing is to ensure that for the vast majority of teams using Substrate to create feature-chains, then all changes can be made entirely in Apache2-licensed code, allowing teams full freedom over what and how they release and giving licensing clarity to commercial teams.

In the interests of the community, we require any deeper improvements made to Substrate's core logic (e.g. Substrate's internal consensus, crypto or database code) to be contributed back so everyone can benefit.
