Tsvetomir Dimitrov 988e30f102 Implementation of the new validator disabling strategy (#2226)
Closes https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/issues/1966,
https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/issues/1963 and
https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/issues/1962.

Disabling strategy specification
[here](https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/pull/2955). (Updated
13/02/2024)

Implements:
* validator disabling for a whole era instead of just a session
* no more than 1/3 of the validators in the active set are disabled
Removes:
* `DisableStrategy` enum - now each validator committing an offence is
disabled.
* New era is not forced if too many validators are disabled.

Before this PR not all offenders were disabled. A decision was made
based on [`enum
DisableStrategy`](https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/blob/bbb6631641f9adba30c0ee6f4d11023a424dd362/substrate/primitives/staking/src/offence.rs#L54).
Some offenders were disabled for a whole era, some just for a session,
some were not disabled at all.

This PR changes the disabling behaviour. Now a validator committing an
offense is disabled immediately till the end of the current era.

Some implementation notes:
* `OffendingValidators` in pallet session keeps all offenders (this is
not changed). However its type is changed from `Vec<(u32, bool)>` to
`Vec<u32>`. The reason is simple - each offender is getting disabled so
the bool doesn't make sense anymore.
* When a validator is disabled it is first added to
`OffendingValidators` and then to `DisabledValidators`. This is done in
[`add_offending_validator`](https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/blob/bbb6631641f9adba30c0ee6f4d11023a424dd362/substrate/frame/staking/src/slashing.rs#L325)
from staking pallet.
* In
[`rotate_session`](https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/blob/bdbe98297032e21a553bf191c530690b1d591405/substrate/frame/session/src/lib.rs#L623)
the `end_session` also calls
[`end_era`](https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/blob/bbb6631641f9adba30c0ee6f4d11023a424dd362/substrate/frame/staking/src/pallet/impls.rs#L490)
when an era ends. In this case `OffendingValidators` are cleared
**(1)**.
* Then in
[`rotate_session`](https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/blob/bdbe98297032e21a553bf191c530690b1d591405/substrate/frame/session/src/lib.rs#L623)
`DisabledValidators` are cleared **(2)**
* And finally (still in `rotate_session`) a call to
[`start_session`](https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/blob/bbb6631641f9adba30c0ee6f4d11023a424dd362/substrate/frame/staking/src/pallet/impls.rs#L430)
repopulates the disabled validators **(3)**.
* The reason for this complication is that session pallet knows nothing
abut eras. To overcome this on each new session the disabled list is
repopulated (points 2 and 3). Staking pallet knows when a new era starts
so with point 1 it ensures that the offenders list is cleared.
