Currently, sc-tendermint has an unweighted round robin without context on how many rounds previous blocks took. This should at least be a weighted round robin with context. Ideally, this would be SASSAFRAS (or something akin to SASSAFRAS), as per #134.

To be clear, this issue is for a movement to a better block proposer algorithm, even if it still has the DoS issue. That would mean weighting + ideally context on blocks which took multiple rounds.

Updates to polkadot-v0.9.40, with a variety of dependency updates accordingly.
Substrate thankfully now uses k256 0.13, pathing the way for #256. We couldn't
upgrade to polkadot-v0.9.40 without this due to polkadot-v0.9.40 having
fundamental changes to syncing. While we could've updated tendermint, it's not
worth the continued development effort given its inability to work with
multiple validator sets.

Purges sc-tendermint. Keeps tendermint-machine for #163.

Closes #137, #148, #157, #171. #96 and #99 should be re-scoped/clarified. #134
and #159 also should be clarified. #169 is also no longer a priority since
we're only considering temporal deployments of tendermint. #170 also isn't
since we're looking at effectively sharded validator sets, so there should
be no singular large set needing high performance.

Per aea6ac1, Tendermint is now only relevant to #163. That shouldn't require an advanced block proposer algorithm, being a whitelisted network. I'm fine closing this.

If we ever re-open this, the discussion should be on https://ethresear.ch/t/whisk-a-practical-shuffle-based-ssle-protocol-for-ethereum/11763.
