The purpose of this tool is to check before releasing a new polkadot binary all existing PVFs on Polkadot and Kusama to make sure the prechecking is passing in case we introduce some changes, e.g. by upgrading wasmtime.
See https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot/issues/7048 for more details.
This tool uses subxt to connect to an RPC node specified by the --rpc-url flag and query relevant runtime storage items from the relay chain including PVF for each parachain. Once it collected all PVFs, it will spawn a PVF worker and run the check for each PVF.
