…scaling (paritytech#4983)

The update is tracked by:
paritytech#3699

However, this is not worth doing at this point since it will change in
the future for phase 2 of the implementation.

Still, it's useful to let people know that the information is not the
most up to date.

The Candidate Backing subsystem ensures every parablock considered for relay block inclusion has been seconded by at
least one validator, and approved by a quorum. Parablocks for which not enough validators will assert correctness are
discarded. If the block later proves invalid, the initial backers are slashable; this gives Polkadot a rational threat

The Collator Protocol implements the network protocol by which collators and validators communicate. It is used by
collators to distribute collations to validators and used by validators to accept collations by collators.

Relay chain block authorship authority is governed by BABE and is beyond the scope of the Overseer and the rest of the
subsystems. That said, ultimately the block author needs to select a set of backable parachain candidates and other
consensus data, and assemble a block from them. This subsystem is responsible for providing the necessary data to all

The inclusion module is responsible for inclusion and availability of scheduled parachains. It also manages the UMP
dispatch queue of each parachain.

This module is responsible for providing all data given to the runtime by the block author to the various parachains
modules. The entry-point is mandatory, in that it must be invoked exactly once within every block, and it is also
"inherent", in that it is provided with no origin by the block author. The data within it carries its own
