* Merge pull request #7368 from paritytech/td-future-blocks Wait for future blocks in AuRa * Advance AuRa step as far as we can and prevent invalid blocks. (#7451) * Advance AuRa step as far as we can. * Wait for future blocks. * Problem: AuRa's unsafeties around step duration (#7282) Firstly, `Step.duration_remaining` casts it to u32, unnecesarily limiting it to 2^32. While theoretically this is "good enough" (at 3 seconds steps it provides room for a little over 400 years), it is still a lossy way to calculate the remaining time until the next step. Secondly, step duration might be zero, triggering division by zero in `Step.calibrate` Solution: rework the code around the fact that duration is typically in single digits and never grows, hence, it can be represented by a much narrower range (u16) and this highlights the fact that multiplying u64 by u16 will only result in an overflow in even further future, at which point we should panic informatively (if anybody's still around) Similarly, panic when it is detected that incrementing the step counter wrapped around on the overflow of usize. As for the division by zero, prevent it by making zero an invalid value for step duration. This will make AuRa log the constraint mismatch and panic (after all, what purpose would zero step duration serve? it makes no sense within the definition of the protocol, as finality can only be achieved as per the specification if messages are received within the step duration, which would violate the speed of light and other physical laws in this case). * Fix tests. * detect different node, same-key signing in aura (#7245) * detect different node, same-key signing in aura * reduce scope of warning

* Merge pull request #7368 from paritytech/td-future-blocks Wait for future blocks in AuRa * Fix tracing failed calls. * Problem: sending any Whisper message fails The error is "PoW too low to compete with other messages" This has been previously reported in #7144 Solution: prevent the move semantics The source of the error is in PoolHandle.relay implementation for NetPoolHandle. Because of the move semantics, `res` variable is in fact copied (as it implements Copy) into the closure and for that reason, the returned result is always `false. * Merge pull request #7433 from paritytech/td-strict-config Strict config parsing * Problem: AuRa's unsafeties around step duration (#7282) Firstly, `Step.duration_remaining` casts it to u32, unnecesarily limiting it to 2^32.

This PR changes the behaviour of AuRa to be somewhat similar to one from ethash.
Currently if we receive a future block (understood as a block from a next sealer in round) we reject it and mark as invalid indefinitely (there is a 1 step duration acceptance window though, but it is sometimes not enough).
New behaviour will reject new blocks without marking them
bador reporting the sealer - it means that we will re-try to import such block in the future.
