Davide Galassi 1e9fd23776 Implement crypto byte array newtypes in term of a shared type (#3684)
Introduces `CryptoBytes` type defined as:

```rust
pub struct CryptoBytes<const N: usize, Tag = ()>(pub [u8; N], PhantomData<fn() -> Tag>);
```

The type implements a bunch of methods and traits which are typically
expected from a byte array newtype
(NOTE: some of the methods and trait implementations IMO are a bit
redundant, but I decided to maintain them all to not change too much
stuff in this PR)

It also introduces two (generic) typical consumers of `CryptoBytes`:
`PublicBytes` and `SignatureBytes`.

```rust
pub struct PublicTag;
pub PublicBytes<const N: usize, CryptoTag> = CryptoBytes<N, (PublicTag, CryptoTag)>;

pub struct SignatureTag;
pub SignatureBytes<const N: usize, CryptoTag> = CryptoBytes<N, (SignatureTag, CryptoTag)>;
```

Both of them use a tag to differentiate the two types at a higher level.
Downstream specializations will further specialize using a dedicated
crypto tag. For example in ECDSA:


```rust
pub struct EcdsaTag;

pub type Public = PublicBytes<PUBLIC_KEY_SERIALIZED_SIZE, EcdsaTag>;
pub type Signature = PublicBytes<PUBLIC_KEY_SERIALIZED_SIZE, EcdsaTag>;
```

Overall we have a cleaner and most importantly **consistent** code for
all the types involved

All these details are opaque to the end user which can use `Public` and
`Signature` for the cryptos as before

Parachains

This directory is the home of Parity-developed parachain runtimes. This directory is runtime focused, and does not include builds of parachain nodes.

The general internal structure is:

  • chain-specs: Chain specs for the runtimes contained in its sibling dir runtimes.
  • common: Common configurations, impls, etc. used by several parachain runtimes.
  • integration-tests: Integration tests to test parachain interactions via XCM.
  • pallets: FRAME pallets that are specific to parachains.
  • runtimes: The entry point for parachain runtimes.

System Parachains

The runtimes directory includes many, but is not limited to, system parachains. Likewise, not all system parachains are in this repo.

Releases

The project maintainers generally try to release a set of parachain runtimes for each Polkadot Relay Chain runtime release.
