Adrian Catangiu e7651cf41b pallet-xcm: add new flexible transfer_assets() call/extrinsic (#2388)
# Motivation (+testing)

### Enable easy `ForeignAssets` transfers using `pallet-xcm` 

We had just previously added capabilities to teleport fees during
reserve-based transfers, but what about reserve-transferring fees when
needing to teleport some non-fee asset?

This PR aligns everything under either explicit reserve-transfer,
explicit teleport, or this new flexible `transfer_assets()` which can
mix and match as needed with fewer artificial constraints imposed to the
user.

This will enable, for example, a (non-system) parachain to teleport
their `ForeignAssets` assets to AssetHub while using DOT to pay fees.
(the assets are teleported - as foreign assets should from their owner
chain - while DOT used for fees can only be reserve-based transferred
between said parachain and AssetHub).

Added `xcm-emulator` tests for this scenario ^.

# Description

Reverts `(limited_)reserve_transfer_assets` to only allow reserve-based
transfers for all `assets` including fees.

Similarly `(limited_)teleport_assets` only allows teleports for all
`assets` including fees.
    
For complex combinations of asset transfers where assets and fees may
have different reserves or different reserve/teleport trust
configurations, users can use the newly added `transfer_assets()`
extrinsic which is more flexible in allowing more complex scenarios.

`assets` (excluding `fees`) must have same reserve location or otherwise
be teleportable to `dest`.
No limitations imposed on `fees`.

- for local reserve: transfer assets to sovereign account of destination
chain and forward a notification XCM to `dest` to mint and deposit
reserve-based assets to `beneficiary`.
- for destination reserve: burn local assets and forward a notification
to `dest` chain to withdraw the reserve assets from this chain's
sovereign account and deposit them to `beneficiary`.
- for remote reserve: burn local assets, forward XCM to reserve chain to
move reserves from this chain's SA to `dest` chain's SA, and forward
another XCM to `dest` to mint and deposit reserve-based assets to
`beneficiary`.
- for teleports: burn local assets and forward XCM to `dest` chain to
mint/teleport assets and deposit them to `beneficiary`.

## Review notes

Only around 500 lines are prod code (see `pallet_xcm/src/lib.rs`), the
rest of the PR is new tests and improving existing tests.
