This commit modifies the existing block selection logic to limit
preferentially by weight instead of serialized block size, and also to
adhere to the new sig-op cost limits which are weighted according to
the witness discount.
This moves the priority-related code from the mempool package to the
mining package and also exports a new constant named UnminedHeight which
takes the place of the old unexported mempoolHeight.
Even though the mempool makes use of the priority code to make decisions
about what it will accept, priority really has to do with mining since
it influences which transactions will end up into a block. This change
also has the side effect of being a step towards enabling separation of
the mining code into its own package which, as previously mentioned,
needs access to the priority calculation code as well.
Finally, the mempoolHeight variable was poorly named since what it
really represents is a transaction that has not been mined into a block
yet. Renaming the variable to more accurately reflect its purpose makes
it clear that it belongs in the mining package which also needs the
definition now as well since the priority calculation code relies on it.
This will also benefit an outstanding PR which needs access to the same
value.
This creates a skeleton mining package that simply contains a few of the
definitions used by the mining and mempool code.
This is a step towards decoupling the mining code from the internals of
btcd and ultimately will house all of the code related to creating block
templates and CPU mining.
The main reason a skeleton package is being created before the full
blown package is ready is to avoid blocking mempool separation which
relies on these type definitions.
