This commit adds the delay instruction to the target for fake backends based on BackendV2. With BackendV2 and the Target delay isn't assumed to be present on every backend and it has to be explictly listed. This commit fixes this so that the compiler is aware that delay is a valid operation (without any additional constraints) on the BackendV2 based fake backends.

If any instructions available in a target are ideal, with no qubits or properties set, the target class assumes the backend is ideal (like in the case of an ideal simulator where are all instructions are globally defined and have no error or duration). To avoid this we need to define the Delay instruction on all qubits explicitly. This commit makes this change to ensure the target for backends still shows the qubits and properties for the other operations. However, in adding an instruction with no properties defined a bug in the plot gate error map function was uncovered where it errored because it assumes all instructions have properties defined, this was fixed at the same time.

It is arguably a bug in 0.20.0, I was on the fence on whether to backport it or not. I'll add a release note to document it though, that was an oversight. |
