This PR is fixing a bug in the sync mechanism between wasmi and pallet-contracts. This bug leads to essentially double charging all the gas that was used during the execution of the host function. When the `call` host function is used for recursion this will lead to a quadratic amount of gas consumption with regard to the nesting depth.We also took the chance to refactor the code in question and improve the rust docs. The bug was caused by not updating `GasMeter::executor_consumed` (previously `engine_consumed`) when leaving the host function. This lead to the value being stale (too low) when entering another host function. --------- Co-authored-by: PG Herveou <pgherveou@gmail.com>

License
- Substrate Primitives (
sp-*), Frame (frame-*) and the pallets (pallets-*), binaries (/bin) and all other utilities are licensed under Apache 2.0. - Substrate Client (/client/*/sc-*) is licensed under GPL v3.0 with a classpath linking exception.
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.
