Migrates the remaining crates to edition 2024. We like to stay on the latest edition if possible. There is no functional changes, however some code changes had to be done to accommodate the edition's breaking changes. Like the previous migration PRs, this is comprised of three commits: * the first does the edition update and makes `cargo check`/`cargo clippy` pass. we had to update bindgen to make its output [satisfy the requirements of edition 2024](https://doc.rust-lang.org/edition-guide/rust-2024/unsafe-extern.html) * the second commit does a `cargo fmt` for the new style edition. * the third commit reorders imports as a one-off change. As before, it is entirely optional. Part of #10918
Discrete Event SIMulator
This is a library for running simulations of distributed systems. The main idea is borrowed from FoundationDB.
Each node runs as a separate thread. This library was not optimized for speed yet, but it's already much faster than running usual intergration tests in real time, because it uses virtual simulation time and can fast-forward time to skip intervals where all nodes are doing nothing but sleeping or waiting for something.
The original purpose for this library is to test walproposer and safekeeper implementation working together, in a scenarios close to the real world environment. This simulator is determenistic and can inject failures in networking without waiting minutes of wall-time to trigger timeout, which makes it easier to find bugs in our consensus implementation compared to using integration tests.
