v0.45 compatible Rho Meta Issue

[okwme]

In order to improve chances of ICS launching on time we're considering using v0.45.x for the next upgrade Rho. This may or may not include ICS itself but nonetheless should decrease the work needed to integrate ICS. Since the Cosmos Hub is becoming a security critical chain (security as the primary product offering) we are also considering a much more conservative timeline to updating to the latest release of the Cosmos SDK. To follow this path the following work needs to be done:

• Downgrade gaia to v0.45.x (@okwme spike to test feasibility of downgrade to v0.45 #1902)
  • downgrade dependencies (IBC, Liquidity, IBC-Packet-Forward Middleware, Tendermint)
  • Remove ICA Mauth
  • Remove Groups
  • Downgrade Gov to old gov
  • Remove Global Fee Antehandler
  • Remove broken tests
• Add Back Global fee Antehandler (@yaruwangway fix: antehandler to fit sdk v0.45 #1918)
  • Needs to be fixed
  • Needs tests added back
• Add back IBC Packet Forward Middleware tests (@okwme fixed packet forward configuration #1941 )
  • Needs to confirm that IBC packet forward middleware has a working version compatible with IBC v3.x.x
• Fix Fee Grant E2E tests (@yaruwangway fix: feegrant e2e test #1940)
• Add back TestGaiaApp_Export (@okwme add back TestGaiaApp_Export  #1955)
• Check what GetStakingKeeper was doing and why it's needed
• Regenerate swagger files without mauth (@yaruwangway feat: proto dependencies for downgrade to 0.45 #1933 )
• Update proto dependencies to sdk0.45, change from using buf registry to copy third_party to our repo (@yaruwangway feat: proto dependencies for downgrade to 0.45 #1933)
• ensure all docs are up to date with changes (@yaruwangway @glnro )
  • gov is not legacy proposal anymore
  • no mauth module
  • no groups module
• Confirm why initTendermintConfig was needed in cmd/gaiad/cmd/root.go
• Confirm vesting does not have execCreatePermanentLockedAccount or execCreatePeriodicVestingAccount (@okwme )
• Add back gov tests GovSoftwareUpgrade , GovCancelSoftwareUpgrade, (@glnro test: Refactor gov e2e for v0.45 Rho #1951 )
• Add back TestQueryGlobalFeesInGenesis test (@yaruwangway fix: antehandler to fit sdk v0.45 #1918)
• Add ICS to gaia (@glnro feat: Integrate ICS Provider #1938 )
• Investigate the app/helpers/test_helpers.go setup function that used to pre-populate with an account and a validator. (@okwme add back TestGaiaApp_Export  #1955)
  - [ ] Add Admin/Composer module to Gaia

add upgrade test, i disabled it for now since the upgrade version is wrong and test failed.

Hi, @okwme
"regenerate swagger files without mauth" means keep present swagger files for mauth or no need swagger files for mauth

re-enabled since we still need to perform an upgrade

no need for mauth in this release. It would be a nice to have but not essential so being removed to ensure we support the ICS timeline.
