Dmitry Markin 5208bed7d2 Extract warp sync strategy from ChainSync (#2467)
Extract `WarpSync` (and `StateSync` as part of warp sync) from
`ChainSync` as independent syncing strategy called by `SyncingEngine`.
Introduce `SyncingStrategy` enum as a proxy between `SyncingEngine` and
specific syncing strategies.

## Limitations
Gap sync is kept in `ChainSync` for now because it shares the same set
of peers as block syncing implementation in `ChainSync`. Extraction of a
common context responsible for peer management in syncing strategies
able to run in parallel is planned for a follow-up PR.

## Further improvements
A possibility of conversion of `SyncingStartegy` into a trait should be
evaluated. The main stopper for this is that different strategies need
to communicate different actions to `SyncingEngine` and respond to
different events / provide different APIs (e.g., requesting
justifications is only possible via `ChainSync` and not through
`WarpSync`; `SendWarpProofRequest` action is only relevant to
`WarpSync`, etc.)

title: Extract warp sync strategy from `ChainSync`
doc:
- audience: Node Dev
description: |
`WarpSync`, and `StateSync` as the logical part of warp sync, are extracted from `ChainSync`
as independent syncing strategies. `SyncingStrategy` enum is introduced as a proxy between
`SyncingEngine` and specific strategies. `SyncingStrategy` may be replaced by a trait in a
follow-up PRs.
