Pull request description:
This continues the work in #30200 so that a future Stratum v2 Template Provider (see #29432) can avoid accessing node internals. It needs to know when a new block arrives in order to push new templates to connected clients.
`waitTipChanged()` uses a new kernel notification `notifications().m_tip_block_mutex`, which this PR also introduces (a previous version used `g_best_block`).
In order to ensure the new method works as intended, the `waitfornewblock`, `waitforblock` and `waitforblockheight` RPC methods are refactored to use it. This allows removing `RPCNotifyBlockChange`.
There's a commit to add (direct) tests for the methods that are about to be refactored:
- `waitfornewblock` was already implicitly tested by `feature_shutdown.py`.
- `waitforblockheight` by `feature_coinstatsindex.py` and `example_test.py`
This PR renames `getTipHash()` to `getTip()` and returns a `BlockRef` (renamed from `BlockKey`) so that callers can use either the height or hash.
The later commits make trivial improvements to the `waitfor*` RPC calls (not needed for this PR).
The `waitTipChanged()` method could probably also be used for the longpoll functionality in `getblocktemplate`, but I'm a bit reluctant to touch that.
`RPCServer::OnStarted` no longer does anything and `RPCServer::OnStopped` merely prints a log statement. They were added in #5711 as a refactor. This PR drops them entirely.
Finally `g_best_block` is also dropped.

- Settings updates were not thread-safe, as they were executed in
three separate steps:
1) Obtain settings value while acquiring the settings lock.
2) Modify settings value.
3) Overwrite settings value while acquiring the settings lock.
This approach allowed concurrent threads to modify the same base value
simultaneously, leading to data loss. When this occurred, the final
settings state would only reflect the changes from the last thread
that completed the operation, overwriting updates from other threads.
Fix this by making the settings update operation atomic.
- Add test coverage for this behavior.

fa46cc22bc Remove deprecated -rpcserialversion (MarcoFalke)
Pull request description:
The flag is problematic for many reasons:
* It is deprecated
* It is a global flag, requiring a restart to change, as opposed to a flag that can be set on each RPC invocation
* It may be hidden in config files by accident, hard to debug, causing LND crashes and bugs, see https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/28730#issuecomment-1780940868
* It makes performance improvements harder to implement: https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/17529#issuecomment-556082818
Fix all issues by removing it.
If there is a use-case, likely a per-RPC flag can be added, if needed.

Update CheckPackageLimits to use util::Result to pass the error message
instead of out parameter.
Also update test to reflect the error message from `CTxMempool`
`CheckPackageLimits` output.
The background of this commit is an ongoing effort to decouple the
libbitcoinkernel library from code that is not strictly required by it.
The settings code belongs into the common library and namespace, since
the kernel library should not depend on it. See doc/design/libraries.md
for more information on this rationale.
Changing the namespace of the moved functions is scripted in the
following commit.
To avoid wasting processing power, we can skip blocks that occurred
before the wallet's creation time, since these blocks are guaranteed
not to contain any relevant wallet data.
This has direct implications (an speed improvement) on the underlying
blockchain synchronization process as well.
The reason is that the validation interface queue is limited to
10 tasks per time. This means that no more than 10 blocks can be
waiting for the wallet(s) to be processed while we are synchronizing
the chain (activating the best chain to be more precise).
Which can be a bottleneck if blocks arrive and are processed faster
from the network than what they are processed by the wallet(s).

Pull request description:
This PR removes `mempool_sequence` from `transactionRemovedFromMempool` and `transactionAddedToMempool`.
`mempool_sequence` is not used in these methods, only in ZMQ notifications.
