Remove griefing collateral from mandatory replace request  #1182

Open

Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Presently, when the old_vault initiates a redeem::request_replace action, it locks griefing collateral using the request_vault_issue call within redeem::request_replace. This seems unnecessary since the old_vault has already locked collateral, known as backing collateral, which can be used as griefing collateral. This additional collateral requirement places an undue burden on the old_vault.

Describe the solution you'd like

The preferred solution is to refrain from locking collateral in the old_vault during the redeem::request_replace process. Instead, if the old_vault fails to submit the BTC transaction before the expiry, the backing collateral should be slashed.

Describe alternatives you've considered

An alternative solution, which is currently implemented, involves locking extra collateral through the request_vault_issue call.
