Gonçalo Pestana bbdbeb7ec6 Extrinsic to restore corrupt staking ledgers (#3706)
This PR adds a new extrinsic `Call::restore_ledger ` gated by
`StakingAdmin` origin that restores a corrupted staking ledger. This
extrinsic will be used to recover ledgers that were affected by the
issue discussed in
https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/issues/3245.

The extrinsic will re-write the storage items associated with a stash
account provided as input parameter. The data used to reset the ledger
can be either i) fetched on-chain or ii) partially/totally set by the
input parameters of the call.

In order to use on-chain data to restore the staking locks, we need a
way to read the current lock in the balances pallet. This PR adds a
`InspectLockableCurrency` trait and implements it in the pallet
balances. An alternative would be to tightly couple staking with the
pallet balances but that's inelegant (an example of how it would look
like in [this
branch](https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/tree/gpestana/ledger-badstate-clean_tightly)).

We verified that the `Call::restore_ledger` does fix all current
corrupted ledgers in Polkadot and Kusama. You can verify it here

**Changes introduced**
- Adds `Call::restore_ledger ` extrinsic to recover a corrupted ledger;
- Adds trait `frame_support::traits::currency::InspectLockableCurrency`
to allow external pallets to read current locks given an account and
lock ID;
- Implements the `InspectLockableCurrency` in the pallet-balances.
- Adds staking locks try-runtime checks
(https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/issues/3751)

**Todo**
- [x] benchmark `Call::restore_ledger`
- [x] throughout testing of all ledger recovering cases
- [x] consider adding the staking locks try-runtime checks to this PR
(https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/issues/3751)
- [x] simulate restoring all ledgers

Substrate is a next-generation framework for blockchain innovation 🚀.

Getting Started

Head to docs.substrate.io and follow the installation instructions. Then try out one of the tutorials. Refer to the Docker instructions to quickly run Substrate, Substrate Node Template, Subkey, or to build a chain spec.

Community & Support

Join the highly active and supportive community on the Substrate Stack Exchange to ask questions about use and problems you run into using this software. Please do report bugs and issues here for anything you suspect requires action in the source.

Contributions & Code of Conduct

Please follow the contributions guidelines as outlined in docs/contributor/CONTRIBUTING.md. In all communications and contributions, this project follows the Contributor Covenant Code of Conduct.

Security

The security policy and procedures can be found in docs/contributor/SECURITY.md.

License

The reason for the split-licensing is to ensure that for the vast majority of teams using Substrate to create feature-chains, then all changes can be made entirely in Apache2-licensed code, allowing teams full freedom over what and how they release and giving licensing clarity to commercial teams.

In the interests of the community, we require any deeper improvements made to Substrate's core logic (e.g. Substrate's internal consensus, crypto or database code) to be contributed back so everyone can benefit.
