Strategies Support

[kanej]

NOTE: this is a placeholder issue for organizing subissues

We want to enable larger projects to extend Hardhat Ignition with custom execution logic that we have not thought of, e.g. deploying through a new multisig system.

Our first execution strategy will be create2. A user should be able to run a module with the create2 strategy and have contract deployments proxied through a create2 factory. This should happen seamlessly without the need for modifications to the module.

TODO

Create2 Support as Internal Strategy

• chore: create a design doc for the custom execution strategy #206
• Proof of concept create2 spike #629
• create2 execution strategy #661

Public exposing Strategies in API

• Refactor strategy to work in terms of future #453
• Enhance deploy signature to support strategy #452

We have a POC for create2 support. Our plan is to tackle this as:

• get create2 support out as another internal strategy
• follow on with public strategies api
