Speed up storage iteration from within the runtime #13479

Followup of #13284 and #13445

This PR makes iterating over storage from within the runtime twice as fast. (It cuts down the time required to ~52% according to the benchmark I've added.)

How does it work?

The way storage iteration is done from within the runtime is through the use of the Storage::next_key host function. What this host function does is pretty simple: given a key it will return the very next key that follows it in lexicographic order. So call it in a loop, and there you go - you're iterating over the storage.

But this is somewhat wasteful since every time this host function is called it will traverse the storage trie from scratch, wasting a lot of time going through nodes it has already went through in the previous iteration. So the trick to speed it up is pretty simple: instantiate an iterator every time this host function is called, stash it somewhere, and then try to reuse it the next time the host function is called if the key that was passed matches the key which the iterator previously returned.

(Sorry for the force push; commits are exactly the same, I just accidentally didn't sign one of the intermediate commits and the only way to rectify that is with a force push.)

Nice!

I also had this somewhere on my long list! Ty for doing this!

* Implements dynamic nominations per nominator

* Adds SnapshotBounds and ElectionSizeTracker

* Changes the ElectionDataProvider interface to receive ElectionBounds as input

* Implements get_npos_voters with ElectionBounds

* Implements get_npos_targets with ElectionBounds

* Adds comments

* tests

* Truncates nomninations that exceed nominations quota; Old tests passing

* Uses DataProviderBounds and ElectionBounds (to continue)

* Finishes conversions - tests passing

* Refactor staking in babe mocks

* Replaces MaxElectableTargets and MaxElectingVoters with ElectionBounds; Adds more tests

* Fixes nits; node compiling

* bechmarks

* removes nomination_quota extrinsic to request the nomination quota

* Lazy quota check, ie. at nominate time only

* remove non-working test (for now)

* tests lazy nominations quota when quota is lower than current number of nominated targets

* Adds runtime API and custom RPC call for clients to query the nominations quota for a given balance

* removes old rpc

* Cosmetic touches

* All mocks working

* Fixes benchmarking mocks

* nits

* more tests

* renames trait methods

* nit

* ".git/.scripts/commands/fmt/fmt.sh"

* Fix V2 PoV benchmarking (#13485)

* Bump default 'additional_trie_layers' to two

The default here only works for extremely small runtimes, which have
no more than 16 storage prefices. This is changed to a "sane" default
of 2, which is save for runtimes with up to 4096 storage prefices (eg StorageValue).
