Refactor client-related APIs for modularity and allow independent ICS-02 integration #1114
Description
Summary
Reorganizing and simplifying client-related APIs under the various ValidationContext and ExecutionContext traits at different levels in ICS-24, ICS-02, and ICS-07 crates, and consolidating them primarily under the ICS-02 client validation and execution contexts.
Objective
Enhance API delineation to facilitate modular integration of specific client state implementation based on ibc-rs without mandating to implement all the IBC stack. (Namely not requiring to implementing all the methods under the top-level Validation/ExecutionContext traits. This change would result in:
- Streamlines CosmWasm light client integration
- Eases independent integration of ICS02-client traits for CosmWasm contract development with ibc-rs.
- Enables ICS-02 client integration with any implementations
- Allows any IBC-adjacent implementation to be equipped with implemented light clients from ibc-rs.
Remark
Given the scope of this issue which will include a substantial number of breaking changes, it would be more efficient to communicate and execute this enhancement through an ADR.
