Remove the variant of ChaCha20Poly1305 AEAD that was previously added in
anticipation of BIP324 using it. BIP324 was updated to instead use rekeying
wrappers around otherwise unmodified versions of the ChaCha20 stream cipher
and the ChaCha20Poly1305 AEAD as specified in RFC8439.
A memory resource similar to std::pmr::unsynchronized_pool_resource, but
optimized for node-based containers.

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.

Goal 1:
Benchmark the transaction creation process for pre-selected-inputs only.
Setting `m_allow_other_inputs=false` to disallow the wallet to include coins automatically.
Goal 2:
Benchmark the transaction creation process for pre-selected-inputs and coin selection.
-----------------------
Benchmark Setup:
1) Generates a 5k blockchain, loading the wallet with 5k transactions with two outputs each.
2) Fetch 4 random UTXO from the wallet's available coins and pre-select them as inputs inside CoinControl.
Benchmark (Goal 1):
Call `CreateTransaction` providing the coin control, who has set `m_allow_other_inputs=false` and
the manually selected coins.
Benchmark (Goal 2):
Call `CreateTransaction` providing the coin control, who has set `m_allow_other_inputs=true` and
the manually selected coins.

Pull request description:
Part of: #24303
This PR introduces a `libbitcoinkernel` static library linking in the minimal list of files necessary to use our consensus engine as-is. `bitcoin-chainstate` introduced in #24304 now will link against `libbitcoinkernel`.
Most of the changes are related to the build system.
Please read the commit messages for more details.

Apparently leveldb used to have platform-specific crc32 code before it
got split off into a separate lib.
This was used to, in effect, manually emulate --start-group/--end-group.
However, we can just order the libraries correctly and avoid specifying
libraries multiple times on the link line.
Note: lld (not ld.bfd) knows how to resolve out-of-order references and
doesn't seem to need the reodering
