This change makes IsInitialBlockDownload and NotifyHeaderTip functions no
longer tied to individual Chainstate objects. It makes them work with the
ChainstateManager object instead so code is simpler and it is no longer
possible to call them incorrectly with an inactive Chainstate.
This change also makes m_cached_finished_ibd caching easier to reason about,
because now there is only one cached value instead of two (for background and
snapshot chainstates) so the cached IBD state now no longer gets reset when a
snapshot is loaded.
There should be no change in behavior because these functions were always
called on the active ChainState objects.
These changes were discussed previously
https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/27746#discussion_r1246868905 and
https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/27746#discussion_r1237552792 as

Pull request description:
Add an RPC to get prioritised transactions (also tells you whether the tx is in mempool or not), helping users clean up `mapDeltas` manually. When `CTxMemPool::PrioritiseTransaction` sets a delta to 0, remove the entry from `mapDeltas`.
Motivation / Background
- `mapDeltas` entries are never removed from mapDeltas except when the tx is mined in a block or conflicted.
- Mostly it is a feature to allow `prioritisetransaction` for a tx that isn't in the mempool {yet, anymore}. A user can may resbumit a tx and it retains its priority, or mark a tx as "definitely accept" before it is seen.
- Since #8448, `mapDeltas` is persisted to mempool.dat and loaded on restart. This is also good, otherwise we lose prioritisation on restart.
- Note the removal due to block/conflict is only done when `removeForBlock` is called, i.e. when the block is received. If you load a mempool.dat containing `mapDeltas` with transactions that were mined already (e.g. the file was saved prior to the last few blocks), you don't delete them.
- Related: #4818 and #6464.
- There is no way to query the node for not-in-mempool `mapDeltas`. If you add a priority and forget what the value was, the only way to get that information is to inspect mempool.dat.
- Calling `prioritisetransaction` with an inverse value does not remove it from `mapDeltas`, it just sets the value to 0. It disappears on a restart (`LoadMempool` checks if delta is 0), but that might not happen for a while.
Added together, if a user calls `prioritisetransaction` very regularly and not all those transactions get mined/conflicted, `mapDeltas` might keep lots of entries of delta=0 around. A user should clean up the not-in-mempool prioritisations, but that's currently difficult without keeping track of what those txids/amounts are.

Since the kernel library no longer depends on the system file, move it
to the common library instead in accordance to the diagram in
doc/design/libraries.md.
This commit effectively moves the definition of these constants
out of the chainparamsbase to their own file.
Using the ChainType enums provides better type safety compared to
passing around strings.
The commit is part of an ongoing effort to decouple the libbitcoinkernel
library from the ArgsManager and other functionality that should not be
part of the kernel library.

In order to prevent memory DoS, we must ensure that we don't accept a new
header into memory until we've performed anti-DoS checks, such as verifying
that the header is part of a sufficiently high work chain. This commit adds a
new argument to AcceptBlockHeader() so that we can ensure that all call-sites
which might cause a new header to be accepted into memory have to grapple with
the question of whether the header is safe to accept, or needs further
validation.
This patch also fixes two places where low-difficulty-headers could have been
processed without such validation (processing an unrequested block from the
network, and processing a compact block).
Credit to Niklas Gögge for noticing this issue, and thanks to Sjors Provoost
for test code.

Changes:
- In BlockAssembler::CreateNewBlock, we now only lock m_mempool->cs and
call addPackageTxs if m_mempool is not nullptr
- BlockAssembler::addPackageTxs now takes in a mempool reference, and is
annotated to require that mempool's lock.
- In TestChain100Setup::CreateBlock and generateblock, don't construct
an empty mempool, just pass in a nullptr for mempool
This decouples validation.cpp from netaddress.cpp (transitively,
timedata.cpp, and asmap.cpp).
This is important for libbitcoinkernel as:
- There is no reason for the consensus engine to be coupled with
netaddress, timedata, and asmap
- Users of libbitcoinkernel can now easily supply their own
std::function that provides the adjusted time.
See the src/Makefile.am changes for some satisfying removals.

This will provide better estimates which would be closer to fee paid in actual
transactions.
The test has also been changed such that when the node is restarted with a
high mempoolMinFee, the estimatesmartfee still returns a feeRate greater
than or equal to the mempoolMinFee, minRelayTxFee.(just like the feeRate of actual transactions)
ea98d9c2ef rpc: fix/add missing RPCExamples for "Util" RPCs (Sebastian Falbesoner)

Similar to https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/18398, this PR gives the RPCExamples in the RPC category "Util" (that currently contains `createmultisig`, `deriveaddresses`, `estimatesmartfee`, `getdescriptorinfo`, `signmessagewithprivkey`, `validateaddress`, `verifymessage`) some love by fixing one broken and adding three missing examples:

Provides DeploymentEnabled, DeploymentActiveAt, and DeploymentActiveAfter
helpers for checking the status of buried deployments. Can be overloaded
so the same syntax works for non-buried deployments, allowing future
soft forks to be changed from signalled to buried deployments without
having to touch the implementation code.
Replaces IsWitnessEnabled and IsScriptWitnessEnabled.
Pass in chainman instead of prev_block so that we can enforce the
block.hashPrevBlock refers to prev_block invariant in the function
itself.
We should probably rethink BlockAssembler's API and somehow include
commitment regeneration functionality in there. Something like a variant
of CreateNewBlock that takes in a std::vector<TxRef> and return a CBlock
instead of CBlockTemplate. That could avoid reaching for
LookupBlockIndex at all.

In all rest/rpc-related modules, if there are multiple calls to
ActiveChain{,State}(), and the calls fall under the same ::cs_main lock,
we can simply take a local reference and use/reuse it instead of calling
ActiveChain{,State}() again and again.
Organize local variables/references such that:
1. There is always a `ChainstateManager` reference before any `LOCK(cs_main)`.
2. NodeContext references are used with Ensure*() functions introduced in
previous commit where appropriate to avoid duplicate assertions.

Overall PR: #20158 (tree-wide: De-globalize ChainstateManager)
Note to reviewers:
1. This bundle may _apparently_ introduce usage of `g_chainman` or `::Chain(state|)Active()` globals, but these are resolved later on in the overall PR. [Commits of overall PR](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/20158/commits)
2. There may be seemingly obvious local references to `ChainstateManager` or other validation objects which are not being used in callers of the current function in question, this is done intentionally to **_keep each commit centered around one function/method_** to ease review and to make the overall change systematic. We don't assume anything about our callers. Rest assured that once we are considering that particular caller in later commits, we will use the obvious local references. [Commits of overall PR](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/20158/commits)
3. When changing a function/method that has many callers (e.g. `LookupBlockIndex` with 55 callers), it is sometimes easier (and less error-prone) to use a scripted-diff. When doing so, there will be 3 commits in sequence so that every commit compiles like so:
1. Add `new_function`, make `old_function` a wrapper of `new_function`, divert all calls to `old_function` to `new_function` **in the local module only**
2. Scripted-diff to divert all calls to `old_function` to `new_function` **in the rest of the codebase**
3. Remove `old_function`

Adds `contrib/signet/miner` for mining signet blocks.
Adds `bitcoin-util` cli utility, with the idea being it can provide bitcoin related functionality that does not rely on the ability to access a running node. Only subcommand currently is "grind" which takes a hex-encoded header and grinds its nonce until its nBits is satisfied.
Updates `getblocktemplate` to include `signet_challenge` field, and makes `getblocktemplate` require the signet rule when invoked on the signet change. Removes connectivity and IBD checks from `getblocktemplate` when applied to a test chain (regtest, testnet, signet).

This moves the CBlockPolicyEstimator to the NodeContext, which get rids
of two globals and allows us to conditionally create the
CBlockPolicyEstimator (and to remove a circular dep).

faaf9c58e4 remove CRPCCommand constructor that takes rpcfn_type function pointer (MarcoFalke)
fa19bb2cd8 remove dead rpc code (MarcoFalke)
Pull request description:
Remove the CRPCCommand arguments, now that they are asserted to be equal and thus redundant
### Future work
> Here or follow up, makes sense to also assert type of returned UniValue?
Sure, but let's not get ahead of ourselves. I am going to submit any further works as follow-ups, including:
* Removing all python regex linters on the args, now that RPCMan can be used to generate any output, including the cli.cpp table
* Auto-formatting and sanity checking the RPCExamples with RPCMan
* Checking passed-in json in self-check. Removing redundant checks
* Checking returned json against documentation to avoid regressions or false documentation
* Compile the RPC documentation at compile-time to ensure it doesn't change at runtime and is completely static
### Bugs found
* The assert identified issue #18607
* The changes itself fixed bug #19250

3333077823 rpc: Adjust witness-tx deserialize error message (MarcoFalke)
cccc752569 rpc: Properly deserialize txs with witness before signing (MarcoFalke)
Pull request description:
Signing a transaction can only happen when the transaction has inputs. A transaction with inputs can always be deserialized as witness-transaction. If `try_no_witness` decoding is attempted, this will lead to rare intermittent failures.
Fixes#18803
