maksimryndin 47a3faa41e Pvf thiserror (#2958)
resolve #2157 

- [x] fix broken doc links
- [x] fix codec macro typo
https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/blob/master/polkadot/node/core/pvf/common/src/error.rs#L81
(see the comment below)
- [x] refactor `ValidationError`, `PrepareError` and related error types
to use `thiserror` crate

## `codec` issue

`codec` macro was mistakenly applied two times to `Kernel` error (so it
was encoded with 10 instead of 11 and the same as `JobDied`). The PR
changes it to 11 because

- it was an initial goal of the code author
- Kernel is less frequent than JobDied so in case of existing error
encoding it is more probable to have 10 as JobDied than Kernel

See https://github.com/paritytech/parity-scale-codec/issues/555

PVF Host

This is the PVF host, responsible for responding to requests from Candidate Validation and spawning worker tasks to fulfill those requests.

See also:

Running basic tests

Running cargo test in the pvf/ directory will run unit and integration tests.

Note: some tests run only under Linux, amd64, and/or with the ci-only-tests feature enabled.

See the general Testing instructions for more information on running tests and observing logs.

Running a test-network with zombienet

Since this crate is consensus-critical, for major changes it is highly recommended to run a test-network. See the "Behavior tests" section of the Testing docs for full instructions.

To run the PVF-specific zombienet test:

RUST_LOG=parachain::pvf=trace zombienet --provider=native spawn zombienet_tests/functional/0001-parachains-pvf.toml

Testing on Linux

Some of the PVF functionality, especially related to security, is Linux-only, and some is amd64-only. If you touch anything security-related, make sure to test on Linux amd64! If you're on a Mac, you can either run a VM or you can hire a VPS and use the open-source tool EternalTerminal to connect to it.1
