This commit is part of the libbitcoinkernel project and seeks to remove
the ChainstateManager's and, more generally, the kernel library's
dependency on interface_ui with options methods in this and the following
few commits. By removing interface_ui from the kernel library, its
dependency on boost is reduced to just boost::multi_index.
Define a new kernel notification class with virtual methods for
notifying about internal kernel events. Create a new file in the node
library for defining a function creating the default set of notification
methods such that these do not need to be re-defined all over the
codebase. As a first step, add a `blockTip` method, wrapping
`uiInterface.NotifyBlockTip`.
This incorrectly assumed num_blocks_total would be greater than 0. This is not guaranteed until the ConnectBlock call right below it.
The total and average metric is not very useful because it does not distinguish between blocks read from disk and those loaded from memory. So rather than fixing the divide by zero issue, we just drop the metric.

Pull request description:
The libbitcoin_kernel library should not rely on the `ArgsManager`, but rather use option structs that can be passed to the various classes it uses. This PR removes reliance on the `ArgsManager` from the `blockstorage.*` files. Like similar prior work, it uses the options struct in the `BlockManager` that can be populated with `ArgsManager` values.

72efc26439 util: improve streams.h:FindByte() performance (Larry Ruane)
604df63f6c [bench] add streams findbyte (gzhao408)
Pull request description:
This PR is strictly a performance improvement; there is no functional change. The `CBufferedFile::FindByte()` method searches for the next occurrence of the given byte in the file. Currently, this is done by explicitly inspecting each byte in turn. This PR takes advantage of `std::find()` to do the same more efficiently, improving its CPU runtime by a factor of about 25 in typical use.

This is a commit in preparation for the next few commits. The functions
are moved to methods to avoid their re-declaration for the purpose of
passing in BlockManager options.
The functions that were now moved into the BlockManager should no longer
use the params as an argument, but instead use the member variable.
In the moved ReadBlockFromDisk and UndoReadFromDisk, change
the function signature to accept a reference to a CBlockIndex instead of
a raw pointer. The pointer is expected to be non-null, so reflect that
in the type.
To allow for the move of functions to BlockManager methods all call
sites require an instantiated BlockManager, or a callback to one.
Avoid use of the expensive mod operator (%) when calculating the
buffer offset. No functional difference.

c4981e7f63 prune, import: fixes#23852 (mruddy)
Pull request description:
Fixes#23852
This allows pruning to work during the `-loadblock` import process.
An example use case is where you have a clean set of block files and you want to create a pruned node from them, but you don't want to alter the input set of block files.
#23852 noted that pruning was not working reliably during the loadblock import process. The reason why the loadblock process was not pruning regularly as it progressed is that the pruning process (`BlockManager::FindFilesToPrune`) checks the tip height of the active chainstate, and `CChainState::ActivateBestChain` was not called (which updates that tip height) in `ThreadImport` until after all the import files were processed.
An example bash command line that makes it easy to import a bunch of block files:
```
./src/qt/bitcoin-qt -debug -logthreadnames -datadir=/tmp/btc -prune=550 -loadblock=/readonly/btc/main/blk{00000..00043}.dat
```
One interesting side note is that `CChainState::ActivateBestChain` can be called while the import process is running (in the `loadblk` thread) by concurrent network message processing activity in the `msghand` thread. For example, one way to reproduce this easily is with the `getblockfrompeer` RPC (requesting a block with height greater than 100000) run from a node connected to an importing node. There are other ways too, but this is an easy way. I only mention this to explain how the `max_prune_height=225719` log message in the original issue came to occur.

Pull request description:
Part of package relay, see #27463.
Note that this still allows packages to bump transactions that are below the dynamic mempool minimum feerate, which means this still solves the "mempool is congested and my presigned 1sat/vB tx is screwed" problem for all transactions.
On master, the package policy (only accessible through regtest-only RPC submitpackage) allows 0-fee (or otherwise below min relay feerate) transactions if they are bumped by a child. However, with default package limits, we don't yet have a DoS-resistant way of ensuring these transactions remain bumped throughout their time in the mempool. Primarily, the fee-bumping child may later be replaced by another transaction that doesn't bump the parent(s). The parent(s) could potentially stay bumped by other transactions, but not enough to ever be selected by the `BlockAssembler` (due to `blockmintxfee`).
For example, (tested [here](https://github.com/glozow/bitcoin/commits/26933-motivation)):
- The mempool accepts 24 below-minrelayfeerate transactions ("0-fee parents"), all bumped by a single high-fee transaction ("the fee-bumping child"). The fee-bumping child also spends a confirmed UTXO.
- Two additional children are added to each 0-fee parent. These children each pay a feerate slightly above the minimum relay feerate (e.g. 1.9sat/vB) such that, for each 0-fee parent, the total fees of its two children divided by the total size of the children and parent is above the minimum relay feerate.
- If a block template is built now, all transactions would be selected.
- A transaction replaces the the fee-bumping child, spending only the confirmed UTXO and not any of the outputs from the 0-fee parents.
- The 0-fee parents now each have 2 children. Their descendant feerates are above minrelayfeerate, which means that they remain in the mempool, even if the mempool evicts all below-minrelayfeerate packages.
- If a block template is built now, none of the 0-fee parents or their children would be selected.
- Even more low-feerate descendants can be added to these below-minrelayfeerate packages and they will not be evicted until they expire or the mempool reaches capacity.
Unless we have a DoS-resistant way of ensuring package CPFP-bumped transactions are always bumped, allowing package CPFP to bump below-minrelayfeerate transactions can result in these problematic situations. See #27018 which proposes a partial solution with some limitations, and contains discussion about potential improvements to eviction strategy. While no adequate solution exists, for now, avoid these situations by requiring all transactions to meet min relay feerate.

Pull request description:
A memory resource similar to `std::pmr::unsynchronized_pool_resource`, but optimized for node-based containers. The goal is to be able to cache more coins with the same memory usage, and allocate/deallocate faster.
This is a reimplementation of #22702. The goal was to implement it in a way that is simpler to review & test
* There is now a generic `PoolResource` for allocating/deallocating memory. This has practically the same API as `std::pmr::memory_resource`. (Unfortunately I cannot use std::pmr because libc++ simply doesn't implement that API).
* Thanks to sipa there is now a fuzzer for PoolResource! On a fast machine I ran it for ~770 million executions without finding any issue.
* The estimation of the correct node size is now gone, PoolResource now has multiple pools and just needs to be created large enough to have space for the unordered_map nodes.
I ran benchmarks with #22702, mergebase, and this PR. Frequency locked Intel i7-8700, clang++ 13.0.1 to reindex up to block 690000.
```sh
bitcoind -dbcache=5000 -assumevalid=00000000000000000002a23d6df20eecec15b21d32c75833cce28f113de888b7 -reindex-chainstate -printtoconsole=0 -stopatheight=690000
```
The performance is practically identical with #22702, just 0.4% slower. It's ~21% faster than master:
Note that on cache drops mergebase's memory doesnt go so far down because it does not free the `CCoinsMap` bucket array.

This is an extraction of ArgsManager related functions from util/system
into their own common file.
Config file related functions are moved to common/config.cpp.
The background of this commit is an ongoing effort to decouple the
libbitcoinkernel library from the ArgsManager. The ArgsManager belongs
into the common library, since the kernel library should not depend on
it. See doc/design/libraries.md for more information on this rationale.
Avoid adding transactions below min relay feerate because, even if they
were bumped through CPFP when entering the mempool, we do not have a
DoS-resistant way of ensuring they always remain bumped. In the future,
this rule can be relaxed (e.g. to allow packages to bump 0-fee
transactions) if we find a way to do so.

Pull request description:
This pull request is part of the `libbitcoinkernel` project https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/24303https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/projects/18 and more specifically its "Step 2: Decouple most non-consensus code from libbitcoinkernel". This commit was originally authored by empact and is taken from its parent PR #25152.
#### Context
There is an ongoing effort to decouple the `ArgsManager` used for command line parsing user-provided arguments from the libbitcoinkernel library (https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/25290, https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/25487, https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/25527, https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/25862, https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/26177, and https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/27125). The `ArgsManager` is defined in `system.h`. A similar pull request extracting functionality from `system.h` has been merged in https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/27238.
#### Changes
Next to providing better code organization, this PR removes some reliance of the tree of libbitcoinkernel header includes on `system.h` (and thus the `ArgsManager` definition) by moving filesystem related functions out of the `system.*` files.
There is already a pair of `fs.h` / `fs.cpp` in the top-level `src/` directory. They were not combined with the files introduced here, to keep the patch cleaner and more importantly because they are often included without the utility functions. The new files are therefore named `fs_helpers` and the existing `fs` files are moved into the util directory.
Further commits splitting more functionality out of `system.h` are still in #25152 and will be submitted in separate PRs once this PR has been processed.

This frees up all associated memory with the map, not only the nodes.
This is necessary in preparation for using the PoolAllocator for
CCoinsMap, which does not actually free any memory on clear().
The fs.* files are already part of the libbitcoin_util library. With the
introduction of the fs_helpers.* it makes sense to move fs.* into the
util/ directory as well.
This is an extraction of filesystem related functions from util/system
into their own utility file.
The background of this commit is an ongoing effort to decouple the
libbitcoinkernel library from the ArgsManager defined in system.h.
Moving these functions out of system.h allows including them from a
separate source file without including the ArgsManager definitions from
system.h.

Devs were [suprised to realize](https://twitter.com/jamesob/status/1637237917201383425) last night that we don't have definitive logging for when a given header was first received.
This logs to the main stream when new headers are received outside of IBD, as well as when headers come in over cmpctblocks. The rationale of not hiding these under log categories is that they may be useful to have widely available when debugging strange network activity, and the marginal volume is modest.

4b7aec2951 Add mempool tracepoints (virtu)
Pull request description:
This PR adds multiple mempool tracepoints.
| tracepoint | description |
| ------------- | ------------- |
| `mempool:added` | Is called when a transaction enters the mempool |
| `mempool:removed` | ... when a transaction is removed from the mempool |
| `mempool:replaced` | ... when a transaction is replaced in the mempool |
| `mempool:rejected` | ... when a transaction is rejected from entering the mempool |
The tracepoints are further documented in `docs/tracing.md`. Usage is demonstrated in the example script `contrib/tracing/mempool_monitor.py`. Interface tests are provided in `test/functional/interface_usdt_mempool.py`.
The rationale for passing the removal reason as a string instead of numerically is that the benefits of not having to maintain a redundant enum-string mapping seem to outweigh the small cost of string generation. The reject reason is passed as string as well, although in this instance the string does not have to be generated but is readily available.

So far, tracepoint PRs typically included two demo scripts: a naive
bpftrace script to show raw tracepoint data and a bcc script for a more
refined view. However, as some of the ongoing changes to bpftrace
introduce a certain degree of unreliability (running some of the
existing bpftrace scripts was not possible with standard kernels and
bpftrace packages on latest stable Ubuntu, Debian, and NixOS), this PR
includes only a single bcc script that fuses the functionality of former
bpftrace and bcc scripts.

#### Context
The bitcoin kernel library currently relies on code containing user configurations through the `ArgsManager`. This is not optimal, since as a stand-alone library it should not rely on bitcoind's argument parsing logic. Instead, its interfaces should accept control and options structs that control the kernel library's desired configuration.
Similar work towards decoupling the `ArgsManager` from the kernel has been done in
https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/25290, https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/25487, https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/25527 and https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/25862.
#### Changes
By moving the `CChainParams` class definition into the kernel and giving it new factory functions `CChainParams::{RegTest,SigNet,Main,TestNet}`it can be constructed without an `ArgsManager` reference, unlike the current factory function `CreateChainParams`.
The first few commits remove uses of `ArgsManager` within `CChainParams`. Then the `CChainParams` definition is moved to a new file in the `kernel/` subdirectory.

The chainstatemanager m_options.chainparams member variable gets its
value from the global chainparams in init.cpp. This allows
validation.cpp to only include the the kernel chainparams file.
Moves chainparams code not using the ArgsManager to the kernel.
Subsequently use the kernel chainparams header now where possible in
order to further decouple chainparams call sites from gArgs.

Pull request description:
There may be a theoretical deadlock for the duration of the offset when the system clock is adjusted into a past time while executing `SeedStrengthen`.
Fix this by using steady clock.
Do the same in `FindBestImplementation`, which shouldn't be affected, because it discards outlier measurements. However, doing the same there for consistency seems fine.
Do the same in `FlushStateToDisk`, which should make the flushes more steady, if the system clock is adjusted by a large offset.

Pull request description:
This is part of the [assumeutxo project](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/projects/11) (parent PR: https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/15606)
Part two of replacing https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/24232.
---
When a user activates a snapshot, the serialized UTXO set data is used to create an "assumed-valid" chainstate, which becomes active in an attempt to get the node to network tip as quickly as possible. Simultaneously in the background, the already-existing chainstate continues "conventional" IBD to both accumulate full block data and serve as a belt-and-suspenders to validate the assumed-valid chainstate.
Once the background chainstate's tip reaches the base block of the snapshot used, we set `m_stop_use` on that chainstate and immediately take the hash of its UTXO set; we verify that this matches the assumeutxo value in the source code. Note that while we ultimately want to remove this background chainstate, we don't do so until the following initialization process, when we again check the UTXO set hash of the background chainstate, and if it continues to match, we remove the (now unnecessary) background chainstate, and move the (previously) assumed-valid chainstate into its place. We then reinitialize the chainstate in the normal way.
As noted in previous comments, we could do the filesystem operations "inline" immediately when the background validation completes, but that's basically just an optimization that saves disk space until the next restart. It didn't strike me as worth the risk of moving chainstate data around on disk during runtime of the node, though maybe my concerns are overblown.
The final result of this completion process is a fully-validated chain, where the only evidence that the user synced using assumeutxo is the existence of a `base_blockhash` file in the `chainstate` directory.

Trigger completion when a background validation chainstate reaches the
same height as a UTXO snapshot, and handle cleaning up the chainstate
on subsequent startup.
75db62ba4c refactor: Move calculation logic out from `CheckSequenceLocksAtTip()` (Hennadii Stepanov)
3bc434f459 refactor: Add `CalculateLockPointsAtTip()` function (Hennadii Stepanov)
Pull request description:
This PR is follow up for bitcoin/bitcoin#22677 and bitcoin/bitcoin#23683.
On master (013daed9ac) it is not obvious that `CheckSequenceLocksAtTip()` function can modify its `LockPoints* lp` parameter which leads to https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/22677#discussion_r762040101.
This PR:
- separates the lockpoint calculate logic from `CheckSequenceLocksAtTip()` function into a new `CalculateLockPointsAtTip()` one
- cleans up the `CheckSequenceLocksAtTip()` function interface
- makes code easier to reason about (hopefully)

77557dda4a prune: scan and unlink already pruned block files on startup (Andrew Toth)
Pull request description:
There are a few cases where we can mark a block and undo file as pruned in our block index, but not actually remove the files from disk.
1. If we call `FindFilesToPrune` or `FindFilesToPruneManual` and crash before `UnlinkPrunedFiles`.
2. If on Windows there is an open file handle to the file somewhere else when calling `fs::remove` in `UnlinkPrunedFiles` (https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/filesystem/remove, https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/api/fileapi/nf-fileapi-deletefilew#remarks). This could be from another process, or if we are calling `ReadBlockFromDisk`/`ReadRawBlockFromDisk` without having a lock on `cs_main` (which has been allowed since ccd8ef65f9).
This PR mitigates this by scanning all pruned block files on startup after `LoadBlockIndexDB` and unlinking them again.

Pull request description:
`VerifyDB()` can fail to complete due to insufficient dbcache at the level 3 checks. This PR improves the error handling in this case in the following ways:
- The rpc `-verifychain` now returns false if the check can't be completed due to insufficient cache
- During init, we only log a warning if the default values for `-checkblocks` and `-checklevel` are taken and the check doesn't complete. However, if the user actively specifies one of these args, we return with an InitError if we can't complete the check.
This PR also changes `-verifychain` RPC to return `false` if the verification didn't finish due to missing block data (pruning) or due to being interrupted by the node being shutdown.
Previously, this PR also included a fix for a possible assert during verification - this was done in #27009 (now merged).

and remove m_snapshot_validated. This state can now be inferred by the
number of isUsable chainstates.
m_disabled is used to signal that a chainstate should no longer be used
by validation logic; it is used as a sentinel when background validation
completes or if the snapshot chainstate is found to be invalid.
isUsable is a convenience method that incorporates m_disabled.
The rpc command verifychain now fails if the dbcache was not sufficient
to complete the verification at the specified level and depth.
In the same situation, the VerifyDB check during Init will now fail (and lead to
an early shutdown) if the user has explicitly specified -checkblocks or
-checklevel but the check couldn't be executed because of the limited
cache. If the user didn't change any of the two and is using the defaults, log a warning
but don't prevent the node from starting up.
This does not change behavior. It is in preparation for
special handling of the case where VerifyDB doesn't finish
for various reasons, but doesn't fail.
Add CoinsViewOptions struct to remove ArgsManager uses from txdb.
To reduce size of this commit, this moves references to gArgs variable out of
txdb.cpp to calling code in validation.cpp. But these moves are temporary. The
gArgs references in validation.cpp are moved out to calling code in init.cpp in
later commits.
This commit does not change behavior.
The previous behavior, skipping some L3 DisconnectBlock calls,
but still attempting to reconnect these blocks at L4, makes
ConnectBlock assert.
The variable skipped_l3_checks is introduced because even with an
insufficient cache for the L3 checks, the L1/L2 checks in the same
loop should still be completed.

This makes the interface more predictable and useful. The caller
understands one or more transactions failed, and can learn what happened
with each transaction. We already have this information, so we might as
well return it.
It doesn't make sense to do this for other PackageValidationResult
values because:
- PCKG_RESULT_UNSET: this means everything succeeded, so the individual
failures are no longer accurate.
- PCKG_MEMPOOL_ERROR: something went wrong with the mempool logic;
transaction failures might not be meaningful.
- PCKG_POLICY: this means something was wrong with the package as a
whole. The caller should use the PackageValidationState to find the
error, rather than looking at individual MempoolAcceptResults.
This value creates an extremely confusing interface as its existence is
dependent upon implementation details (whether something was submitted
on its own, etc). MempoolAcceptResult::m_effective_feerate is much more
helpful, as it always exists for submitted transactions.
Bug: not setting package_state means package_state.IsValid() == true and
the caller does not know that this failed.
We won't be validating this transaction again, so it makes sense to return this
failure to the caller.
Rename package_state to package_state_quit_early to make it more clear
what this variable is used for and what its scope is.

f911bdfff9 mempool: use util::Result for CalculateMemPoolAncestors (stickies-v)
66e028f739 mempool: use util::Result for CalculateAncestorsAndCheckLimits (stickies-v)
Pull request description:
Upon reviewing the documentation for `CTxMemPool::CalculateMemPoolAncestors`, I noticed `setAncestors` was meant to be an `out` parameter but actually is an `in,out` parameter, as can be observed by adding `assert(setAncestors.empty());` as the first line in the function and running `make check`. This PR fixes this unexpected behaviour and introduces refactoring improvements to make intents and effects of the code more clear.
## Unexpected behaviour
This behaviour occurs only in the package acceptance path, currently only triggered by `testmempoolaccept` and `submitpackage` RPCs.
In `MemPoolAccept::AcceptMultipleTransactions()`, we first call `PreChecks()` and then `SubmitPackage()` with the same `Workspace ws` reference. `PreChecks` leaves `ws.m_ancestors` in a potentially non-empty state, before it is passed on to `MemPoolAccept::SubmitPackage`. `SubmitPackage` is the only place where `setAncestors` isn't guaranteed to be empty before calling `CalculateMemPoolAncestors`. The most straightforward fix is to just forcefully clear `setAncestors` at the beginning of CalculateMemPoolAncestors, which is done in the first bugfix commit.
## Improvements
### Return value instead of out-parameters
This PR updates the function signatures for `CTxMemPool::CalculateMemPoolAncestors` and `CTxMemPool::CalculateAncestorsAndCheckLimits` to use a `util::Result` return type and eliminate both the `setAncestors` `in,out`-parameter as well as the error string. It simplifies the code and makes the intent and effects more explicit.
### Observability
There are 7 instances where we currently call `CalculateMemPoolAncestors` without actually checking if the function succeeded because we assume that it can't fail, such as in [miner.cpp](69b10212ea/src/node/miner.cpp (L399)). This PR adds a new wrapper `AssumeCalculateMemPoolAncestors` function that logs such unexpected failures, or in case of debug builds even halts the program. It's not crucial to the objective, more of an observability improvement that seems sensible to add on here.

Pull request description:
Since the original fix was set to be a "reasonable" transaction to reduce allocations and the true motivation later revealed, it makes sense to relax this check to something more principled.
There are more exotic transaction patterns that could take advantage of a relaxed requirement, such as 1 input, 1 output OP_RETURN to burn a utxo to fees for CPFP purposes when change isn't practical.
Two changes could be accomplished:
1) Anything not 64 bytes could be allowed
2) Anything above 64 bytes could be allowed
In the Great Consensus Cleanup, suggestion (2)
was proposed as a consensus change, and is the simpler of the two suggestions. It would not allow an "empty" OP_RETURN but would reduce the required padding from 22 bytes to 5.
The functional test is also modified to test the actual case
we care about: 64 bytes

db929893ef Faster -reindex by initially deserializing only headers (Larry Ruane)
c72de9990a util: add CBufferedFile::SkipTo() to move ahead in the stream (Larry Ruane)
48a68908ba Add LoadExternalBlockFile() benchmark (Larry Ruane)
Pull request description:
### Background
During the first part of reindexing, `LoadExternalBlockFile()` sequentially reads raw blocks from the `blocks/blk00nnn.dat` files (rather than receiving them from peers, as with initial block download) and eventually adds all of them to the block index. When an individual block is initially read, it can't be immediately added unless all its ancestors have been added, which is rare (only about 8% of the time), because the blocks are not sorted by height. When the block can't be immediately added to the block index, its disk location is saved in a map so it can be added later. When its parent is later added to the block index, `LoadExternalBlockFile()` reads and deserializes the block from disk a second time and adds it to the block index. Most blocks (92%) get deserialized twice.
### This PR
During the initial read, it's rarely useful to deserialize the entire block; only the header is needed to determine if the block can be added to the block index immediately. This change to `LoadExternalBlockFile()` initially deserializes only a block's header, then deserializes the entire block only if it can be added immediately. This reduces reindex time on mainnet by 7 hours on a Raspberry Pi, which translates to around a 25% reduction in the first part of reindexing (adding blocks to the index), and about a 6% reduction in overall reindex time.
Summary: The performance gain is the result of deserializing each block only once, except its header which is deserialized twice, but the header is only 80 bytes.

When a block is initially read from a blk*.dat file during reindexing,
it can be added to the block index only if all of its ancestor blocks
have been added, which is rare. If the block's ancestors have not been
added, the block must be re-read from disk later when it can be added.
This commit: During the initial block read, deserialize only its header,
rather than the entire block, since this is sufficient to determine
if its parent (and thus all its ancestors) has been added. This is a
performance improvement.
Making the checks to identify BIP30 available outside of validation.cpp is needed for reporting and tracking statistics on specific blocks and the UTXO set correctly.

By ignoring these two blocks in `DisconnectBlock`, the block verification process succeeds at checklevel=4.
(Note to reviewers: this is my first contribution to Bitcoin Core, so any feedback is most welcome. Thanks in advance for reviewing!)
## Steps to reproduce:
Use the following bitcoin.conf file and start bitcoind. I only used block data through block ~100000 so that the verification process was much faster.
```
assumevalid=0
checkblocks=0
checklevel=4
```
Without this change, you will see the following error when the blocks are verified:
```

Half of the replacement for #24232. The original PR grew larger than expected throughout the review process.
This change adds the ability to initialize a snapshot-based chainstate during init if one is detected on disk. This is of course unused as of now (aside from in unittests) given that we haven't yet enabled actually loading snapshots.
Don't be scared! There are some big move-only commits in here.
Accompanying changes include:
- moving the snapshot coinsdb directory from being called `chainstate_[base blockhash]` to `chainstate_snapshot`, since we only support one snapshot in use at a time. This simplifies some logic, but it necessitates writing that base blockhash out to a file within the coinsdb dir. See [discussion here](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/24232#discussion_r832762880).
- adding a simple fix in `FlushBlockFile()` that avoids a crash when attemping to flush to disk before `LoadBlockIndexDB()` is called, which happens when calling `MaybeRebalanceCaches()` during multiple chainstate init.
- improving the unittest to allow testing with on-disk chainstates - necessary to test a simulated restart and re-initialization.

bcb0cacac2 reindex, log, test: fixes#21379 (mruddy)
Pull request description:
Fixes#21379.
The blocks/blk?????.dat files are mutated and become increasingly malformed, or corrupt, as a result of running the re-indexing process.
The mutations occur after the re-indexing process has finished, as new blocks are appended, but are a result of a re-indexing process miscalculation that lingers in the block manager's `m_blockfile_info` `nSize` data until node restart.
These additions to the blk files are non-fatal, but also not desirable.
That is, this is a form of data corruption that the reading code is lenient enough to process (it skips the extra bytes), but it adds some scary looking log messages as it encounters them.
The summary of the problem is that the re-index process double counts the size of the serialization header (magic message start bytes [4 bytes] + length [4 bytes] = 8 bytes) while calculating the blk data file size (both values already account for the serialization header's size, hence why it is over accounted).
This bug manifests itself in a few different ways, after re-indexing, when a new block from a peer is processed:
1. If the new block will not fit into the last blk file processed while re-indexing, while remaining under the 128MiB limit, then the blk file is flushed to disk and truncated to a size that is 8 greater than it should be. The truncation adds zero bytes (see `FlatFileSeq::Flush` and `TruncateFile`).
1. If the last blk file processed while re-indexing has logical space for the new block under the 128 MiB limit:
1. If the blk file was not already large enough to hold the new block, then the zeros are, in effect, added by `fseek` when the file is opened for writing. Eight zero bytes are added to the end of the last blk file just before the new block is written. This happens because the write offset is 8 too great due to the miscalculation. The result is 8 zero bytes between the end of the last block and the beginning of the next block's magic + length + block.
1. If the blk file was already large enough to hold the new block, then the current existing file contents remain in the 8 byte gap between the end of the last block and the beginning of the next block's magic + length + block. Commonly, when this occcurs, it is due to the blk file containing blocks that are not connected to the block tree during reindex and are thus left behind by the reindex process and later overwritten when new blocks are added. The orphaned blocks can be valid blocks, but due to the nature of concurrent block download, the parent may not have been retrieved and written by the time the node was previously shutdown.

Pull request description:
Instead of using `0.001` and similar constants to "convert" an int64_t to milliseconds, use the type-safe `Ticks<>` helper. Also, use steady clock instead of system clock, since the durations are used for benchmarking.

Simplifies function signatures by removing repetition of all the
ancestor/descendant limits, and increases readability by being
more verbose by naming the limits, while still reducing the LoC.
