Support Testnets

[rzadp]

Currently, the tip bot supports Polkadot, Kusama, and a local development chain for development.

In order to play with a staging deployment of the bot, the only options are Polkadot and Kusama.
It's not a very useful staging environment if we can't play with it without using real money, so it would be useful to spend Testnet money instead.

@paritytech/opstooling What do you think? Or am I missing something here?

Community Testnets:

Testnet	Treasury	OpenGov
Westend	no	no
Rococo	yes no	yes no

prob just replace localtest* with localtest which will be rococo by default?
just make it clear from settings and readme

I would like to keep localtest* pointing to localhost:9944, because that might be the only way for everyone to test the whole flow (including voting on the tip).

Also apart from adding the config, we need to have the bot account topped up on Rococo, and an alert added to (existing?) set of alerts.

Small update: Rococo actually doesn't have the pallets I need. It has preimages and democracy, but the Referenda is missing.

So it looks like neither Westend nor Rococo can be used for this purpose.

Wococo is no good as well, there is neither Treasury nor OpenGov Referenda.

I couldn't find a websocket RPC of Versi anywhere.

@lovelaced do you know how can we test opengov with testnet?

[lovelaced]

It doesn't appear any of the testnets have the referenda module 🤔 versi can be found at https://polkadot.js.org/apps/?rpc=wss://versi-rpc-node-0.parity-versi.parity.io#/explorer but doesn't have this either. might not be a bad idea to petition the devs to see if we can get these pallets into rococo.

PR to watch: paritytech/polkadot#7272

We now support Rococo and Westend:

Unfortunately Polkassembly integration could not be tested (Rococo and Westend Polkassembly sites are not working properly currently).
