Replacement contract to emulate deferred transactions

eosio.delay

Delayed transactions are currently used for 2 reasons:

• Sending transactions which need to be executed at a later date.
• Sending transactions which enforce a permission level wait.

Support for delayed transactions has been deprecated and we need a way to support protocol-level enforced delays (particularly for transfers sent by semi-trusted accounts)

This contract allows a user to submit a transaction for later execution and checks the provided permissions and delay_sec provided in the transaction against the supplied executer permission. Once the transaction is recorded in the proposals table, we know that the transaction would normally be authenticated by provided AND the delay.

propose(name proposal_name, permission_level executer, permission_level provided, permission_level canceller, transaction trx)

Proposes a new delayed transaction, permissions will be checked at this stage.

cancel(name executer, name proposal_name)

Cancels a previously submitted transaction, must supply permissions of the executer.

exec(name executer, name proposal_name)

Executes a delayed transaction that has been previously registered, will check that the required amount of time has passed since the transaction was submitted.
