ba206d2c63 Deprecate confusing blockmaxsize, fix getmininginfo output
* This removes block-size-limiting code in favor of GBT clients
  doing the limiting themselves (if at all).
* -blockmaxsize is deprecated and only used to calculate an implied
  blockmaxweight, addressing confusion from multiple users.
* getmininginfo's currentblocksize return value was returning
  garbage values, and has been removed, also removing a
  GetSerializeSize call in some block generation inner loops and
  potentially addressing some performance edge cases.

Merge #11099: [RPC][mempool]: Add savemempool RPC
1aa97ee08 Add savemempool RPC (Lawrence Nahum)
467cbbcbf Add return value to DumpMempool (Lawrence Nahum)

Pull request description:

  Adds a simple parameterless rpc command to dump the mempool.

  Rationale:

  Sometimes there can be a crash for whatever reason (bug, power loss, etc) causing the mempool.dat file to not be saved.

  This change allows to script/cron the rpc call to have more regular saves to the file as well as cli/ad-hoc.

  This should solve issue https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/11086

Merge #10758: Fix some chainstate-init-order bugs.
c0025d0 Fix segfault when shutting down before fully loading (Matt Corallo)
1385697 Order chainstate init more logically. (Matt Corallo)
ff3a219 Call RewindBlockIndex even if we're about to run -reindex-chainstate (Matt Corallo)
b0f3249 More user-friendly error message if UTXO DB runs ahead of block DB (Matt Corallo)
eda888e Fix some LoadChainTip-related init-order bugs. (Matt Corallo)

Pull request description:

  This does a number of things to clean up chainstate init order,
  fixing some issues as it goes:

  * Order chainstate init more logically - first all of the
    blocktree-related loading, then coinsdb, then
    pcoinsTip/chainActive. Only create objects as needed.

  * More clearly document exactly what is and isn't called in
    -reindex and -reindex-chainstate both with comments noting
    calls as no-ops and by adding if guards.

  * Move the writing of fTxIndex to LoadBlockIndex - this fixes a
    bug introduced in d6af06d68a where
    InitBlockIndex was writing to fTxIndex which had not yet been
    checked (because LoadChainTip hadn't yet initialized the
    chainActive, which would otherwise have resulted in
    InitBlockIndex being a NOP), allowing you to modify -txindex
    without reindex, potentially corrupting your chainstate!

  * Rename InitBlockIndex to LoadGenesisBlock, which is now a more
    natural name for it. Also check mapBlockIndex instead of
    chainActive, fixing a bug where we'd write the genesis block out
    on every start.

  * Move LoadGenesisBlock further down in init. This is a more logical
    location for it, as it is after all of the blockindex-related
    loading and checking, but before any of the UTXO-related loading
    and checking.

  * Give LoadChainTip a return value - allowing it to indicate that
    the UTXO DB ran ahead of the block DB. This just provides a nicer
    error message instead of the previous mysterious
    assert(!setBlockIndexCandidates.empty()) error.

  * Calls ActivateBestChain in case we just loaded the genesis
    block in LoadChainTip, avoiding relying on the ActivateBestChain
    in ThreadImport before continuing init process.

  * Move all of the VerifyDB()-related stuff into a -reindex +
    -reindex-chainstate if guard. It couldn't do anything useful
    as chainActive.Tip() would be null at this point anyway.

24e44c354d Don't return stale data from CCoinsViewCache::Cursor()
CCoinsViewCache doesn't actually support cursor iteration returning the
current contents of the cache, so raise an error when the cursor method is
called instead of returning a cursor that iterates over stale data.

Also update the gettxoutsetinfo RPC which was relying on the old behavior to be
explicit about which view it is returning data about.

b5fea8d0cc Cache full script execution results in addition to signatures
This adds a new CuckooCache in validation, caching whether all of a
transaction's scripts were valid with a given set of script flags.

Unlike previous attempts at caching an entire transaction's
validity, which have nearly universally introduced consensus
failures, this only caches the validity of a transaction's
scriptSigs. As these are pure functions of the transaction and
data it commits to, this should be much safer.

This is somewhat duplicative with the sigcache, as entries in the
new cache will also have several entries in the sigcache. However,
the sigcache is kept both as ATMP relies on it and because it
prevents malleability-based DoS attacks on the new higher-level
cache. Instead, the -sigcachesize option is re-used - cutting the
sigcache size in half and using the newly freed memory for the
script execution cache.

Transactions which match the script execution cache never even have
entries in the script check thread's workqueue created.

Note that the cache is indexed only on the script execution flags
and the transaction's witness hash. While this is sufficient to
make the CScriptCheck() calls pure functions, this introduces
dependancies on the mempool calculating things such as the
PrecomputedTransactionData object, filling the CCoinsViewCache, etc
in the exact same way as ConnectBlock. I belive this is a reasonable
assumption, but should be noted carefully.

In a rather naive benchmark (reindex-chainstate up to block 284k
with cuckoocache always returning true for contains(),
-assumevalid=0 and a very large dbcache), this connected blocks
~1.7x faster.

c87b957a32 Only pass things committed to by tx's witness hash to CScriptCheck
This clarifies a bit more the ways in which the new script execution
cache could break consensus in the future if additional data from
the CCoins object were to be used as a part of script execution.

After this change, any such consensus breaks should be very visible
to reviewers, hopefully ensuring no such changes can be made.

Rather than re-add disconnected block transactions back to the mempool
immediately, store them in a separate disconnectpool for later processing,
because we expect most such transactions to reappear in the chain that is
still to be connected (and thus we can avoid the work of reprocessing those
transactions through the mempool altogether).

e440ac7ef3 Introduce assumevalid setting to skip presumed valid scripts.
This disentangles the script validation skipping from checkpoints.

A new option is introduced "assumevalid" which specifies a block whos
 ancestors we assume all have valid scriptsigs and so we do not check
 them when they are also burried under the best header by two weeks
 worth of work.

Unlike checkpoints this has no influence on consensus unless you set
 it to a block with an invalid history.  Because of this it can be
 easily be updated without risk of influencing the network consensus.

This results in a massive IBD speedup.

This approach was independently recommended by Peter Todd and Luke-Jr
 since POW based signature skipping (see PR#9180) does not have the
 verifiable properties of a specific hash and may create bad incentives.

The downside is that, like checkpoints, the defaults bitrot and older
 releases will sync slower.  On the plus side users can provide their
 own value here, and if they set it to something crazy all that will
 happen is more time will be spend validating signatures.

Checkblocks and checklevel are also moved to the hidden debug options:
 Especially now that checkblocks has a low default there is little need
 to change these settings, and users frequently misunderstand them as
 influencing security or IBD speed.  By hiding them we offset the
 space added by this new option.
