//! ## A static size tracker for the election snapshot data.
//!
//! ### Overview
//!
//! The goal of the size tracker is to provide a static, no-allocation byte tracker to be
//! used by the election data provider when preparing the results of
//! [`ElectionDataProvider::electing_voters`]. The [`StaticTracker`] implementation uses
//! [`codec::Encode::size_hint`] to estimate the SCALE encoded size of the snapshot voters struct
//! as it is being constructed without requiring extra stack allocations.
//!
//! The [`StaticTracker::try_register_voter`] is called to update the static tracker internal
//! state, if It will return an error if the resulting SCALE encoded size (in bytes) is larger than
//! the provided `DataProviderBounds`.
//!
//! ### Example
//!
//! ```ignore
//! use pallet_staking::election_size_tracker::*;
//!
//! // instantiates a new tracker.
//! let mut size_tracker = StaticTracker::<Staking>::default();
//!
//! let voter_bounds = ElectionBoundsBuilder::default().voter_size(1_00.into()).build().voters;
//!
//! let mut sorted_voters = T::VoterList.iter();
//! let mut selected_voters = vec![];
//!
//! // fit as many voters in the vec as the bounds permit.
//! for v in sorted_voters {
//!     let voter = (v, weight_of(&v), targets_of(&v));
//!     if size_tracker.try_register_voter(&voter, &voter_bounds).is_err() {
//!         // voter bounds size exhausted
//!         break;
//!     }
//!     selected_voters.push(voter);
//! }
//!
//! // The SCALE encoded size in bytes of `selected_voters` is guaranteed to be below
//! // `voter_bounds`.
//! debug_assert!(
//!     selected_voters.encoded_size() <=
//!     SizeTracker::<Staking>::final_byte_size_of(size_tracker.num_voters, size_tracker.size)
//! );
//! ```
//!
//! ### Implementation Details
//!
//! The current implementation of the static tracker is tightly coupled with the staking pallet
//! implementation, namely the representation of a voter ([`VoterOf`]). The SCALE encoded byte size
//! is calculated using [`Encode::size_hint`] of each type in the voter tuple. Each voter's byte
//! size is the sum of:
//! - 1 * [`Encode::size_hint`] of the `AccountId` type;
//! - 1 * [`Encode::size_hint`] of the `VoteWeight` type;
//! - `num_votes` * [`Encode::size_hint`] of the `AccountId` type.
