James Wilson 4b9ee133ac Ensure metadata is in sync with running node during tests (#333)
* add test-runtime crate to dynamically obtain metadata/node_runtime for tests

* cargo fmt

* Download substrate prior to cargo calls (hopefully)

* add README explaining test-runtime

* Fix CI, fmt and clippy

* more clippy

* tweak test-node readme

* fmt the clippied

* A little tidy up in build.rs

* use ureq and raw string

* Don't export unnecessary metadata

* async_std/RpcClient/bytes instead of ureq/Value/hex

# test-runtime
The logic for this crate exists mainly in the `build.rs` file.
At compile time, this crate will:
- Spin up a local `substrate` binary (set the `SUBSTRATE_NODE_PATH` env var to point to a custom binary, otehrwise it'll look for `substrate` on your PATH).
- Obtain metadata from this node.
- Export the metadata and a `node_runtime` module which has been annotated using the `subxt` proc macro and is based off the above metadata.
The reason for doing this is that our integration tests (which also spin up a Substrate node) can then use the generated `subxt` types from the exact node being tested against, so that we don't have to worry about metadata getting out of sync with the binary under test.
