Igor Matuszewski 028f3d2674 Merge 2.0.1 backport branch into mainline master (#7842)
* Backport paritytech/substrate#7381

* Bring back genesis storage build in aura/timestamp

To not change spec version, see
https://github.com/paritytech/substrate/pull/7686#discussion_r540032743

* Backport paritytech/substrate#7238

* Backport paritytech/substrate#7395

* Bump impl_version

* Fix UI tests and bump trybuild dep

See https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/73996

Backports:
https://github.com/paritytech/substrate/pull/7764
https://github.com/paritytech/substrate/pull/7656

* Partially backport paritytech/substrate#7838

* Release frame-support with a dep compilation fix

* Bump patch level for remaining crates

This is done because at the time of writing cargo-unleash does not fully
support partial workspace publishing and mixes both local and crates.io
versions of the packages, leading to errors in the release check workflow.

* Backport paritytech/substrate#7854

...to fix compilation error when using futures-* v0.3.9.

* Adding Changelog  entry for patch release

Substrate offchain workers.

The offchain workers is a special function of the runtime that gets executed after block is imported. During execution it's able to asynchronously submit extrinsics that will either be propagated to other nodes or added to the next block produced by the node as unsigned transactions.

Offchain workers can be used for computation-heavy tasks that are not feasible for execution during regular block processing. It can either be tasks that no consensus is required for, or some form of consensus over the data can be built on-chain for instance via:

  1. Challenge period for incorrect computations
  2. Majority voting for results
  3. etc
