Redo Dockerfile generation (#530)
Moves from concatted Dockerfiles to pseudo-templated Dockerfiles via a dedicated Rust program.

Removes the unmaintained kubernetes, not because we shouldn't have/use it, but because it's unmaintained and needs to be reworked before it's present again.

Replaces the compose with the work in the new orchestrator binary which spawns everything as expected. While this arguably re-invents the wheel, it correctly manages secrets and handles the variadic Dockerfiles.

Also adds an unrelated patch for zstd and simplifies running services a bit by greater utilizing the existing infrastructure.

---

* Delete all Dockerfile fragments, add new orchestator to generate Dockerfiles

Enables greater templating.

Also delete the unmaintained kubernetes folder *for now*. This should be
restored in the future.

* Use Dockerfiles from the orchestator

* Ignore Dockerfiles in the git repo

* Remove CI job to check Dockerfiles are as expected now that they're no longer committed

* Remove old Dockerfiles from repo

* Use Debian for monero-wallet-rpc

* Remove replace_cmds for proper usage of entry-dev

Consolidates ports a bit.

Updates serai-docker-tests from "compose" to "build".

* Only write a new dockerfile if it's distinct

Preserves the updated time metadata.

* Update serai-docker-tests

* Correct the path Dockerfiles are built from

* Correct inclusion of orchestration folder in Docker builds

* Correct debug/release flagging in the cargo command

Apparently, --debug isn't an effective NOP yet an error.

* Correct path used to run the Serai node within a Dockerfile

* Correct path in Monero Dockerfile

* Attempt storing monerod in /usr/bin

* Use sudo to move into /usr/bin in CI

* Correct 18.3.0 to 18.3.1

* Escape * with quotes

* Update deny.toml, ADD orchestration in runtime Dockerfile

* Add --detach to the Monero GH CI

* Diversify dockerfiles by network

* Fixes to network-diversified orchestration

* Bitcoin and Monero testnet scripts

* Permissions and tweaks

* Flatten scripts folders

* Add missing folder specification to Monero Dockerfile

* Have monero-wallet-rpc specify the monerod login

* Have the Docker CMD specify env variables inserted at time of Dockerfile generation

They're overrideable with the global enviornment as for tests. This enables
variable generation in orchestrator and output to productionized Docker files
without creating a life-long file within the Docker container.

* Don't add Dockerfiles into Docker containers now that they have secrets

Solely add the source code for them as needed to satisfy the workspace bounds.

* Download arm64 Monero on arm64

* Ensure constant host architecture when reproducibly building the wasm

Host architecture, for some reason, can effect the generated code despite the
target architecture always being foreign to the host architecture.

* Randomly generate infrastructure keys

* Have orchestrator generate a key, be able to create/start containers

* Ensure bash is used over sh

* Clean dated docs

* Change how quoting occurs

* Standardize to sh

* Have Docker test build the dev Dockerfiles

* Only key_gen once

* cargo update

Adds a patch for zstd and reconciles the breaking nightly change which just
occurred.

* Use a dedicated network for Serai

Also fixes SERAI_HOSTNAME passed to coordinator.

* Support providing a key over the env for the Serai node

* Enable and document running daemons for tests via serai-orchestrator

Has running containers under the dev network port forward the RPC ports.

* Use volumes for bitcoin/monero

* Use bitcoin's run.sh in GH CI

* Only use the volume for testnet (not dev)

Dockerfile Parts (#428)
* De-duplicate Dockerfiles by using a bash file to concatenate common parts

Resolves #375.

Dockerfiles are still committed to the repo to avoid a dependency on bash.

* Add a CI job to confirm the committed dockerfiles are the currently generated ones

* Create dedicated Dockerfiles per processor network

Ensures the compromising of network-specific dependencies doesn't lead to a
compromise of the build process for all processors.

* Dockerfile corrections

* Correct call to build processor Docker image in tests/processor

Route blame between Processor and Coordinator (#427)
* Have processor report errors during the DKG to the coordinator

* Add RemoveParticipant, InvalidDkgShare to coordinator

* Route DKG blame around coordinator

* Allow public construction of AdditionalBlameMachine

Necessary for upcoming work on handling DKG blame in the processor and
coordinator.

Additionally fixes a publicly reachable panic when commitments parsed with one
ThresholdParams are used in a machine using another set of ThresholdParams.

Renames InvalidProofOfKnowledge to InvalidCommitments.

* Remove unused error from dleq

* Implement support for VerifyBlame in the processor

* Have coordinator send the processor share message relevant to Blame

* Remove desync between processors reporting InvalidShare and ones reporting GeneratedKeyPair

* Route blame on sign between processor and coordinator

Doesn't yet act on it in coordinator.

* Move txn usage as needed for stable Rust to build

* Correct InvalidDkgShare serialization

a0a2ef22e4
Remove ethers-solc
ethers-solc was used for a type (now manually specified) and to call out to
solc. Since Foundry was already a documented dependency, a call to it now
handles building.

Removing this single crate removes a total of 17 crates from our dependency
tree. While these may still be around due to Foundry, they at least may not
be.

Further work to remove the requirement on Foundry for solc alone would be
appreciated.

Track and amortize operating costs to ensure solvency
Implements most of #297 to the point I'm fine closing it. The solution
implemented is distinct than originally designed, yet much simpler.

Since we have a fully-linear view of created transactions, we don't have to
per-output track operating costs incurred by that output. We can track it
across the entire Serai system, without hooking into the Eventuality system.

Also updates documentation.

Add support for multiple multisigs to the processor (#377)
* Design and document a multisig rotation flow

* Make Scanner::eventualities a HashMap so it's per-key

* Don't drop eventualities, always follow through on them

Technical improvements made along the way.

* Start creating an isolate object to manage multisigs, which doesn't require being a signer

Removes key from SubstrateBlock.

* Move Scanner/Scheduler under multisigs

* Move Batch construction into MultisigManager

* Clarify "should" in Multisig Rotation docs

* Add block_number to MultisigManager, as it controls the scanner

* Move sign_plans into MultisigManager

Removes ThresholdKeys from prepare_send.

* Make SubstrateMutable an alias for MultisigManager

* Rewrite Multisig Rotation

The prior scheme had an exploit possible where funds were sent to the old
multisig, then burnt on Serai to send from the new multisig, locking liquidity
for 6 hours. While a fee could be applied to stragglers, to make this attack
unprofitable, the newly described scheme avoids all this.

* Add mini

mini is a miniature version of Serai, emphasizing Serai's nature as a
collection of independent clocks. The intended use is to identify race
conditions and prove protocols are comprehensive regarding when certain clocks
tick.

This uses loom, a prior candidate for evaluating the processor/coordinator as
free of race conditions (#361).

* Use mini to prove a race condition in the current multisig rotation docs, and prove safety of alternatives

Technically, the prior commit had mini prove the race condition.

The docs currently say the activation block of the new multisig is the block
after the next Batch's. If the two next Batches had already entered the
mempool, prior to set_keys being called, the second next Batch would be
expected to contain the new key's data yet fail to as the key wasn't public
when the Batch was actually created.

The naive solution is to create a Batch, publish it, wait until it's included,
and only then scan the next block. This sets a bound of
`Batch publication time < block time`. Optimistically, we can publish a Batch
in 24s while our shortest block time is 2m. Accordingly, we should be fine with
the naive solution which doesn't take advantage of throughput. #333 may
significantly change latency however and require an algorithm whose throughput
exceeds the rate of blocks created.

In order to re-introduce parallelization, enabling throughput, we need to
define a safe range of blocks to scan without Serai ordering the first one.
mini demonstrates safety of scanning n blocks Serai hasn't acknowledged, so
long as the first is scanned before block n+1 is (shifting the n-block window).

The docs will be updated next, to reflect this.

* Fix Multisig Rotation

I believe this is finally good enough to be final.

1) Fixes the race condition present in the prior document, as demonstrated by
mini.

`Batch`s for block `n` and `n+1`, may have been in the mempool when a
multisig's activation block was set to `n`. This would cause a potentially
distinct `Batch` for `n+1`, despite `n+1` already having a signed `Batch`.

2) Tightens when UIs should use the new multisig to prevent eclipse attacks,
and protection against `Batch` publication delays.

3) Removes liquidity fragmentation by tightening flow/handling of latency.

4) Several clarifications and documentation of reasoning.

5) Correction of "prior multisig" to "all prior multisigs" regarding historical
verification, with explanation why.

* Clarify terminology in mini

Synchronizes it from my original thoughts on potential schema to the design
actually created.

* Remove most of processor's README for a reference to docs/processor

This does drop some misc commentary, though none too beneficial. The section on
scanning, deemed sufficiently beneficial, has been moved to a document and
expanded on.

* Update scanner TODOs in line with new docs

* Correct documentation on Bitcoin::Block::time, and Block::time

* Make the scanner in MultisigManager no longer public

* Always send ConfirmKeyPair, regardless of if in-set

* Cargo.lock changes from a prior commit

* Add a policy document on defining a Canonical Chain

I accidentally committed a version of this with a few headers earlier, and this
is a proper version.

* Competent MultisigManager::new

* Update processor's comments

* Add mini to copied files

* Re-organize Scanner per multisig rotation document

* Add RUST_LOG trace targets to e2e tests

* Have the scanner wait once it gets too far ahead

Also bug fixes.

* Add activation blocks to the scanner

* Split received outputs into existing/new in MultisigManager

* Select the proper scheduler

* Schedule multisig activation as detailed in documentation

* Have the Coordinator assert if multiple `Batch`s occur within a block

While the processor used to have ack_up_to_block, enabling skips in the block
acked, support for this was removed while reworking it for multiple multisigs.
It should happen extremely infrequently.

While it would still be beneficial to have, if multiple `Batch`s could occur
within a block (with the complexity here not being worth adding that ban as a
policy), multiple `Batch`s were blocked for DoS reasons.

* Schedule payments to the proper multisig

* Correct >= to <

* Use the new multisig's key for change on schedule

* Don't report External TXs to prior multisig once deprecated

* Forward from the old multisig to the new one at all opportunities

* Move unfulfilled payments in queue from prior to new multisig

* Create MultisigsDb, splitting it out of MainDb

Drops the call to finish_signing from the Signer. While this will cause endless
re-attempts, the Signer will still consider them completed and drop them,
making this an O(n) cost at boot even if we did nothing from here.

The MultisigManager should call finish_signing once the Scanner completes the
Eventuality.

* Don't check Scanner-emitted completions, trust they are completions

Prevents needing to use async code to mark the completion and creates a
fault-free model. The current model, on fault, would cause a lack of marked
completion in the signer.

* Fix a possible panic in the processor

A shorter-chain reorg could cause this assert to trip. It's fixed by
de-duplicating the data, as the assertion checked consistency. Without the
potential for inconsistency, it's unnecessary.

* Document why an existing TODO isn't valid

* Change when we drop payments for being to the change address

The earlier timing prevents creating Plans solely to the branch address,
causing the payments to be dropped, and the TX to become an effective
aggregation TX.

* Extensively document solutions to Eventualities being potentially created after having already scanned their resolutions

* When closing, drop External/Branch outputs which don't cause progress

* Properly decide if Change outputs should be forward or not when closing

This completes all code needed to make the old multisig have a finite lifetime.

* Commentary on forwarding schemes

* Provide a 1 block window, with liquidity fragmentation risks, due to latency

On Bitcoin, this will be 10 minutes for the relevant Batch to be confirmed. On
Monero, 2 minutes. On Ethereum, ~6 minutes.

Also updates the Multisig Rotation document with the new forwarding plan.

* Implement transaction forwarding from old multisig to new multisig

Identifies a fault where Branch outputs which shouldn't be dropped may be, if
another output fulfills their next step. Locking Branch fulfillment down to
only Branch outputs is not done in this commit, but will be in the next.

* Only let Branch outputs fulfill branches

* Update TODOs

* Move the location of handling signer events to avoid a race condition

* Avoid a deadlock by using a RwLock on a single txn instead of two txns

* Move Batch ID out of the Scanner

* Increase from one block of latency on new keys activation to two

For Monero, this offered just two minutes when our latency to publish a Batch
is around a minute already. This does increase the time our liquidity can be
fragmented by up to 20 minutes (Bitcoin), yet it's a stupid attack only
possible once a week (when we rotate). Prioritizing normal users' transactions
not being subject to forwarding is more important here.

Ideally, we'd not do +2 blocks yet plus `time`, such as +10 minutes, making
this agnostic of the underlying network's block scheduling. This is a
complexity not worth it.

* Split MultisigManager::substrate_block into multiple functions

* Further tweaks to substrate_block

* Acquire a lock on all Scanner operations after calling ack_block

Gives time to call register_eventuality and initiate signing.

* Merge sign_plans into substrate_block

Also ensure the Scanner's lock isn't prematurely released.

* Use a HashMap to pass to-be-forwarded instructions, not the DB

* Successfully determine in ClosingExisting

* Move from 2 blocks of latency when rotating to 10 minutes

Superior as noted in 6d07af92ce10cfd74c17eb3400368b0150eb36d7, now trivial to
implement thanks to prior commit.

* Add note justifying measuring time in blocks when rotating

* Implement delaying of outputs received early to the new multisig per specification

* Documentation on why Branch outputs don't have the race condition concerns Change do

Also ensures 6 hours is at least N::CONFIRMATIONS, for sanity purposes.

* Remove TODO re: sanity checking Eventualities

We sanity check the Plan the Eventuality is derived from, and the Eventuality
is handled moments later (in the same file, with a clear call path). There's no
reason to add such APIs to Eventualities for a sanity check given that.

* Add TODO(now) for TODOs which must be done in this branch

Also deprecates a pair of TODOs to TODO2, and accepts the flow of the Signer
having the Eventuality.

* Correct errors in potential/future flow descriptions

* Accept having a single Plan Vec

Per the following code consuming it, there's no benefit to bifurcating it by
key.

* Only issue sign_transaction on boot for the proper signer

* Only set keys when participating in their construction

* Misc progress

Only send SubstrateBlockAck when we have a signer, as it's only used to tell
the Tributary of what Plans are being signed in response to this block.

Only immediately sets substrate_signer if session is 0.

On boot, doesn't panic if we don't have an active key (as we wouldn't if only
joining the next multisig). Continues.

* Correctly detect and set retirement block

Modifies the retirement block from first block meeting requirements to block
CONFIRMATIONS after.

Adds an ack flow to the Scanner's Confirmed event and Block event to accomplish
this, which may deadlock at this time (will be fixed shortly).

Removes an invalid await (after a point declared unsafe to use await) from
MultisigsManager::next_event.

* Remove deadlock in multisig_completed and document alternative

The alternative is simpler, albeit less efficient. There's no reason to adopt
it now, yet perhaps if it benefits modeling?

* Handle the final step of retirement, dropping the old key and setting new to existing

* Remove TODO about emitting a Block on every step

If we emit on NewAsChange, we lose the purpose of the NewAsChange period.

The only concern is if we reach ClosingExisting, and nothing has happened, then
all coins will still be in the old multisig until something finally does. This
isn't a problem worth solving, as it's latency under exceptional dead time.

* Add TODO about potentially not emitting a Block event for the reitrement block

* Restore accidentally deleted CI file

* Pair of slight tweaks

* Add missing if statement

* Disable an assertion when testing

One of the test flows currently abuses the Scanner in a way triggering it.

Replace ExternalBlock with Batch
The initial TODO was simply to use one ExternalBlock per all batches in the
block. This would require publishing ExternalBlock after the last batch,
requiring knowing the last batch. While we could add such a pipeline, it'd
require:

1) Initial preprocesses using a distinct message from BatchPreprocess
2) An additional message sent after all BatchPreprocess are sent

Unfortunately, both would require tweaks to the SubstrateSigner which aren't
worth the complexity compared to the solution here, at least, not at this time.

While this will cause, if a Tributary is signing a block whose total batch data
exceeds 25 kB, to use multiple transactions which could be optimized out by
'better' local data pipelining, that's an extreme edge case. Given the temporal
nature of each Tributary, it's also an acceptable edge.

This does no longer achieve synchrony over external blocks accordingly. While
signed batches have synchrony, as they embed their block hash, batches being
signed don't have cryptographic synchrony on their contents. This means
validators who are eclipsed may produce invalid shares, as they sign a
different batch. This will be introduced in a follow-up commit.

Only emit SignTranaction once
Due to the ordered message-queue, there's no benefit to multiple emissions as

used for clippy in order to access additional checks.

Move in instructions from inherent transactions to unsigned transactions
The original intent was to use inherent transactions to prevent needing to vote
on-chain, which would spam the chain with worthless votes. Inherent
transactions, and our Tendermint library, would use the BFT's processs voting
to also vote on all included transactions. This perfectly collapses integrity
voting creating *no additional on-chain costs*.

Unfortunately, this led to issues such as #6, along with questions of validator
scalability when all validators are expencted to participate in consensus (in
order to vote on if the included instructions are valid). This has been
summarized in #241.

With this change, we can remove Tendermint from Substrate. This greatly
decreases our complexity. While I'm unhappy with the amount of time spent on
it, just to reach this conclusion, thankfully tendermint-machine itself is
still usable for #163. This also has reached a tipping point recently as the
polkadot-v0.9.40 branch of substrate changed how syncing works, requiring
further changes to sc-tendermint. These have no value if we're just going to
get rid of it later, due to fundamental design issues, yet I would like to
keep Substrate updated.

This should be followed by moving back to GRANDPA, enabling closing most open
Tendermint issues.

Please note the current in-instructions-pallet does not actually verify the
included signature yet. It's marked TODO, despite this bing critical.

Make Validator Set Network a first-class property
There already should only be one validator set operating per network. This
formalizes that. Then, validator sets used to be able to operate over multiple
networks. That is no longer possible.

This formalization increases validator set flexibility while also allowing the
ability to formalize the definiton of tokens (which is necessary to define a
gas asset).
