Many Substrate crates have a
rocksdb
feature that allows faster builds by removing rocks db from the dependency graph. This practice was not extended throughout parts of Cumulus and Polkadot.This meant that parachain projects always had to build RockDb, which consumes time and energy, and now, even makes my github actions runners run out of disk space 😆
This PR, extends the practice of making rocksdb optional throughout Polkadot and cumulus.
Note, that I also discovered a compile problem along the way and reported it in #2551. I need guess I will need a little guidance on that before tidying this one up.
