What does this PR do?
Removes the
actuator.whitelistconfiguration and all related code. All actuator types are now unconditionally registered and executed on every node. Nodes with the old config key inconfig.confare unaffected — it is silently ignored after upgrade. Closes #6666Why are these changes required?
actuator.whitelistwas designed for private-chain scenarios and is fundamentally incompatible with public-chain consensus. A node configured with a non-empty whitelist skips registering excluded actuator types at startup. When the network produces a block containing those transaction types, the configured node fails to execute them, its world state diverges from the network, and it forms a private fork. Removing this configuration eliminates the risk of consensus breakage caused by misconfiguration.This PR has been tested by:

None.
Extra details
TransactionRegister.registerActuator()was already updated in a prior PR to register all actuators unconditionally. This PR completes that cleanup by removing the whitelist enforcement that remained in the execution path (TransactionFactory,RuntimeImpl) and the associated config infrastructure (CommonParameter,Args,ConfigKey).
