Module pallet_session::historical

An opt-in utility for tracking historical sessions in FRAME-session.

This is generally useful when implementing blockchains that require accountable safety where validators from some amount f prior sessions must remain slashable.

Rather than store the full session data for any given session, we instead commit to the roots of merkle tries containing the session data.

These roots and proofs of inclusion can be generated at any time during the current session. Afterwards, the proofs can be fed to a consensus module when reporting misbehavior.
