This is the first PR in preparation for #454.

Overall changes are documented here (lot more visual 😍): https://hackmd.io/@ak0n/454-np-governance

Maybe followup with migration of storage item VirtualStakers as a bool or enum in Ledger.

Context

We want to achieve a way for a user (Delegator) to delegate their funds to another account (Agent). Delegate implies the funds are locked in delegator account itself. Agent can act on behalf of delegator to stake directly on Staking pallet.

The delegation feature is added to Staking via another pallet delegated-staking worked on here.

Introduces:

StakingUnchecked Trait

As the name implies, this trait allows unchecked (non-locked) mutation of staking ledger. These apis are only meant to be used by other pallets in the runtime and should not be exposed directly to user code path. Also related: #3888.

Virtual Bond

Allows other pallets to stake via staking pallet while managing the locks on these accounts themselves. Introduces another storage VirtualStakers that whitelist these accounts.

We also restrict virtual stakers to set reward account as themselves. Since the account has no locks, we cannot support compounding of rewards. Conservatively, we require them to set a separate account different from the staker. Since these are code managed, it should be easy for another pallet to redistribute reward and rebond them.

Slashes

Since there is no actual lock maintained by staking-pallet for virtual stakers, this pallet does not apply any slashes. It is then important for pallets managing virtual stakers to listen to slashing events and apply necessary slashes.

## Changes
### Delegation Interface
Provides delegation primitives for staking. 

Introduces two new roles:
- Agent: These are accounts who receive delegation from other accounts
(delegators) and stakes on behalf of them. The funds are held in
delegator accounts.
- Delegator: Accounts who delegate their funds to an agent authorising
them to use it for staking.

Supports
- A way for delegators to add or withdraw delegation to an agent.
- A way for an agent to slash a delegator during a slashing event.

### Pallet Delegated Staking
- Implements `DelegationInterface`.
- Lazy slashing: Any slashes to an Agent is posted in a ledger but not
immediately slashed. The agent can call
`DelegationInterface::delegator_slash` to slash the member and clear the
corresponding slash from its ledger.
- Consumes `StakingInterface` to provide `CoreStaking` features. In
reality, this will be `pallet-staking`.
- Ensures bookkeeping for agent and delegator are correct but leaves the
management of reward and slash logic upto the consumer of this pallet.
- While it does not expose any calls yet, it is written with the intent
of exposing these primitives via extrinsics.

## TODO
- [x] Improve unit tests in the pallet.
- [x] Separate slash reward perbill for rewarding the slash reporters?
- [x] Review if we should add more events.

## Summary of various roles 🤯
### Pallet Staking
**Nominator**: An account that directly stakes on `pallet-staking` and
nominates a set of validators.
**Stakers**: Common term for nominators and validators.
Virtual Stakers: Same as stakers, but they are keyless accounts and
their locks are managed by a pallet external to `pallet-staking`.

### Pallet Delegated Staking
**Agent**: An account that receives delegation from other accounts
(delegators) and stakes on their behalf. They are also Virtual Stakers
in `pallet-staking` where `pallet-delegated-staking` manages its locks.
**Delegator**: An account that delegates some funds to an agent.

### Pallet Nomination Pools
**Pool account**: Keyless account of a pool where funds are pooled.
Members pledge their funds towards the pools. These are going to become
`Agent` accounts in `pallet-delegated-staking`.
**Pool Members**: They are individual members of the pool who
contributed funds to it. They are also `Delegator` in
`pallet-delegated-staking`.

## Changes
### Multiple Stake strategies

**TransferStake**: The current nomination pool logic can be considered a
staking strategy where delegators transfer funds to pool and stake. In
this scenario, funds are locked in pool account, and users lose the
control of their funds.

**DelegateStake**: With this PR, we introduce a new staking strategy
where individual delegators delegate fund to pool. `Delegate` implies
funds are locked in delegator account itself. Important thing to note
is, pool does not have funds of its own, but it has authorization from
its members to use these funds for staking.

We extract out all the interaction of pool with staking interface into a
new trait `StakeStrategy`. This is the logic that varies between the
above two staking strategies. We use the trait `StakeStrategy` to
implement above two strategies: `TransferStake` and `DelegateStake`.

### NominationPool
Consumes an implementation of `StakeStrategy` instead of
`StakingInterface`. I have renamed it from `Staking` to `StakeAdapter`
to clarify the difference from the earlier used trait.

To enable delegation based staking in pool, Nomination pool can be
configured as:
```
type StakeAdapter = pallet_nomination_pools::adapter::DelegateStake<Self, DelegatedStaking>;
```

Note that with the following configuration, the changes in the PR are
no-op.
```
type StakeAdapter = pallet_nomination_pools::adapter::TransferStake<Self, Staking>;
```

## Deployment roadmap
Plan to enable this only in Westend. In production runtimes, we can keep
pool to use `TransferStake` which will be no functional change.

Once we have a full audit, we can enable this in Kusama followed by
Polkadot.

## TODO
- [x] Runtime level (Westend) migration for existing nomination pools.
- [x] Permissionless call/ pallet::tasks for claiming delegator funds.
- [x] Add/update benches.
- [x] Migration tests.
- [x] Storage flag to mark `DelegateStake` migration and integrity
checks to not allow `TransferStake` for migrated runtimes.

## Deployment roadmap
Plan to enable this only in Westend. In production runtimes, we can keep
pool to use `TransferStake` which will be no functional change.

Once we have a full audit, we can enable this in Kusama followed by
Polkadot.

## TODO
- [x] Runtime level (Westend) migration for existing nomination pools.
- [x] Permissionless call/ pallet::tasks for claiming delegator funds.
- [x] Add/update benches.
- [x] Migration tests.
- [x] Storage flag to mark `DelegateStake` migration and integrity
checks to not allow `TransferStake` for migrated runtimes.
