(Large) part of #4761. This is an initial implementation of `SharedMutableStorage`, with some limitations. I think those are best worked on in follow-up PRs, once we have the bones working. The bulk of the SharedMutable pattern is in `ScheduledValueChange`, a pure Noir struct that has all of the block number related logic. `SharedMutable` then makes a state variable out of that struct, adding public storage access both in public and private (via historical reads - see #5379), and using the new `request_max_block_number` function (from #5251). I made an effort to test as much as I could of these in Noir, with partial success in the case of `SharedMutable` due to lack of certain features, notably noir-lang/noir#4652. There is also an end-to-end test that goes through two scheuled value changes, showing that scheduled values do not affect the current one. I added some inline docs but didn't include proper docsite pages yet so that we can discuss the implementation, API, etc., and make e.g. renamings less troublesome. ### Notable implementation details I chose to make the delay a type parameter instead of a value mostly because of two reasons: - it lets us nicely serialize and deserialize `ScheduledValueChange` without including this field (which we are not currently interested in storing) - it lets us declare a state variable of type `SharedMutable<T, DELAY>` without having to change the signature of the `new` function, which is automatically injected by the macro. Overall I think this is fine, especially since we may later make the delay mutable (see below), but still worth noting. Additionally, I created a simple `public_storage` module to get slightly nicer API and encapsulation. This highlighted a Noir issue (noir-lang/noir#4633), which currently only affects public historical reads but will also affect current reads once we migrate to using the AVM opcodes. ### Future work - #5491 - #5492 (this takes care of padding during storage slot allocation) - #5501 - #5493 --------- Co-authored-by: Jan Beneš <janbenes1234@gmail.com>

Note that with #5757 this would be a time of change, not block. |
While nice (and necessary?) this makes the API a bit more involved (since users need to pass one extra param), so I think we can afford to not have this for now. |

The introduction of SharedMutable in #5490 does not alow to specify a block number when scheduling; it is automatically set to the current block number plus the delay. This is simpler and results in the lowest latency for the changes to go through, but there are very good reasons why applications may want to configure their block of change. Note that a configurable block of change would always have to be larger than the minimum one, which is the current plus delay.
When users interact with contracts that have scheduled changes, they leak some privacy by using the
max_block_number
property of their transaction. Recall that scheduled changes are public, so if e.g. only one contract has a scheduled value change at block X, then any transactions with amax_block_number
of X - 1 would be presumed to be interacting with said contract.In order to avoid this, applications may want to increase their privacy set by 'sharing' blocks of change, so that all applications would have scheduled value changes at the same block. There are some side effects to this, such as the fact that the network as a whole may see reduced activity right before the 'global' block of change, since people may not submit transactions out of worry that they won't get included in time. It is also possible that users that don't require a block of change parameter would choose to use this 'global' one to be part of this anonimity set.
