Dcompoze 002d9260f9 Fix spelling mistakes across the whole repository (#3808)
**Update:** Pushed additional changes based on the review comments.

**This pull request fixes various spelling mistakes in this
repository.**

Most of the changes are contained in the first **3** commits:

- `Fix spelling mistakes in comments and docs`

- `Fix spelling mistakes in test names`

- `Fix spelling mistakes in error messages, panic messages, logs and
tracing`

Other source code spelling mistakes are separated into individual
commits for easier reviewing:

- `Fix the spelling of 'authority'`

- `Fix the spelling of 'REASONABLE_HEADERS_IN_JUSTIFICATION_ANCESTRY'`

- `Fix the spelling of 'prev_enqueud_messages'`

- `Fix the spelling of 'endpoint'`

- `Fix the spelling of 'children'`

- `Fix the spelling of 'PenpalSiblingSovereignAccount'`

- `Fix the spelling of 'PenpalSudoAccount'`

- `Fix the spelling of 'insufficient'`

- `Fix the spelling of 'PalletXcmExtrinsicsBenchmark'`

- `Fix the spelling of 'UNKNOWN_PROOF_REQUEST'`

- `Fix the spelling of 'succeeded'`

- `Fix the spelling of 'reopened'`

- `Fix the spelling of 'proposer'`

- `Fix the spelling of 'InstantiationNonce'`

- `Fix the spelling of 'depositor'`

- `Fix the spelling of 'expiration'`

- `Fix the spelling of 'phantom'`

- `Fix the spelling of 'AggregatedKeyValue'`

- `Fix the spelling of 'randomness'`

- `Fix the spelling of 'defendant'`

- `Fix the spelling of 'AquaticMammal'`

- `Fix the spelling of 'transactions'`

- `Fix the spelling of 'PassingTracingSubscriber'`

- `Fix the spelling of 'TxSignaturePayload'`

- `Fix the spelling of 'versioning'`

- `Fix the spelling of 'descendant'`

- `Fix the spelling of 'overridden'`

- `Fix the spelling of 'network'`

Let me know if this structure is adequate.

**Note:** The usage of the words `Merkle`, `Merkelize`, `Merklization`,
`Merkelization`, `Merkleization`, is somewhat inconsistent but I left it
as it is.

~~**Note:** In some places the term `Receival` is used to refer to
message reception, IMO `Reception` is the correct word here, but I left
it as it is.~~

~~**Note:** In some places the term `Overlayed` is used instead of the
more acceptable version `Overlaid` but I also left it as it is.~~

~~**Note:** In some places the term `Applyable` is used instead of the
correct version `Applicable` but I also left it as it is.~~

**Note:** Some usage of British vs American english e.g. `judgement` vs
`judgment`, `initialise` vs `initialize`, `optimise` vs `optimize` etc.
are both present in different places, but I suppose that's
understandable given the number of contributors.

~~**Note:** There is a spelling mistake in `.github/CODEOWNERS` but it
triggers errors in CI when I make changes to it, so I left it as it
is.~~

# Transaction Storage Pallet
Indexes transactions and manages storage proofs.
Allows storing arbitrary data on the chain. Data is automatically removed after `StoragePeriod` blocks, unless the
storage is renewed. Validators must submit proof of storing a random chunk of data for block `N - StoragePeriod` when
producing block `N`.
# Running a chain
The following describes how to set up a new storage chain.
Start with generating a chain spec.
```bash
cargo run --release -- build-spec --chain=local > sc_init.json
```
Edit the json chain spec file to customise the chain. The storage chain genesis params are configured in the
`transactionStorage` section. Note that `storagePeriod` is specified in blocks and changing it also requires code
changes at the moment.
Build a raw spec from the init spec.
```bash
cargo run --release build-spec --chain=sc_init.json --raw > sc.json
```
Run a few validator nodes.
```bash
cargo run --release -- --chain=sc.json -d /tmp/alice --storage-chain --keep-blocks=100800 --ipfs-server --validator --alice
cargo run --release -- --chain=sc.json -d /tmp/bob --storage-chain --keep-blocks=100800 --ipfs-server --validator --bob
```
`--storage-chain` enables transaction indexing. `--keep-blocks=100800` enables block pruning. The value here should be
greater or equal than the storage period. `--ipfs-server` enables serving stored content over IPFS.
Once the network is started, any other joining nodes need to sync with `--sync=fast`. Regular sync will fail because
block pruning removes old blocks. The chain does not keep full block history.
```bash
cargo run --release -- --chain=sc.json -d /tmp/charlie --storage-chain --keep-blocks=100800 --ipfs-server --validator --charlie --sync=fast
```
# Making transactions
To store data use the `transactionStorage.store` extrinsic. And IPFS CID can be generated from the Blake2-256 hash of
the data.
```js
const util_crypto = require('@polkadot/util-crypto');
const keyring_api = require('@polkadot/keyring');
const polkadot_api = require('@polkadot/api');
const fs = require('fs');
const multihash = require('multihashes');
const CID = require('cids')
const wsProvider = new polkadot_api.WsProvider();
const api = await polkadot_api.ApiPromise.create({ provider: wsProvider });
const keyring = new keyring_api.Keyring({ type: "sr25519" });
const alice = keyring.addFromUri("//Alice");
const file = fs.readFileSync('cute_kitten.jpeg');
const hash = util_crypto.blake2AsU8a(file)
const encoded_hash = multihash.encode(hash, 'blake2b-256');
const cid = new CID(1, 'blake2b-256', encoded_hash)
console.log(cid.toString());
const txHash = await api.tx.transactionStorage.store('0x' + file.toString('hex')).signAndSend(alice);
```
Data can be queried over IPFS
```bash
ipfs swarm connect <substrate peer address>
ipfs block get /ipfs/<CID> > kitten.jpeg
```
To renew data and prevent it from being disposed after the storage period, use `transactionStorage.renew(block, index)`
where `block` is the block number of the previous store or renew transaction, and index is the index of that transaction
in the block.
