Storage chains: Tracking issue

[arkpar]

Substrate should support a kind of blockchain optimized for storing arbitrary data. The data would be stored not in the state trie, but rather off the chain as extrinsics. The state only contains a merkle trie root for all the block extrinsics.

• Implement blockchain-pruning, so that after a certain period, transactions are thrown out from the database. (Storage chains part 1 #7868)
• Implement IPFS p2p protocol for substrate, so substrate could appear as an IPFS node. it would only need to index and serve transactions contained in the chain (Storage chains: serve transactions over IPFS/bitswap #7963).
• Publish transactions on IPFS DHT
• Storage renewal. A special kind of extrinsic that references an existing extrinsic and prevents it from being pruned.
• Offchain worker API for grabbing and/or hashing/merklising stored/indexed transactions
• Write a runtime module.
• Fast/warp sync support

Closing as this has reached ready status for standalone deployment.
