When PR 1022 was merged, an & got dropped from the declarations of the two
"fStall" out-parameters, rendering them unused (and triggering a compiler
warning.) Restore them, restoring the functionality of #1022.
This fixes an issue which causes Elements to download the blockchain headers
multiple times during initial block download.
In particular: each time we receive an INV P2P message with a new block
(about once a minute), we start downloading the headers, again, in parallel
with any existing download(s) in progress.
With this change, after we receive each batch of headers, we check whether
any of the headers in it were new to us. If not (they were all duplicates),
we stop there, and do not ask the peer for another batch. This reduces the
maximum amount of duplication to about 2x, which is not ideal, but a HUGE
improvement.
- Finish removing all references to 'recheckpeginblockinterval', including
documentation and tests.
- Remove periodic calls to MainchainRPCCheck; use it only at startup (and
refactor accordingly to simplify logic.)
- Move MainchainRPCCheck from validation.h/cpp (public) to an internal
helper function of init.cpp.
- Comment out definition of 'revalidation queue' type in txdb, to suppress
"unused variable" warning. (Leave it visible to avoid future reuse.)
Currently, if -validatepegin is given, and block validation can't proceed
because the parent chain is not synced, we mark the block invalid and put
it in a queue to be "revalidated" later. Unfortunately, marking a block
invalid has downstream consequences, in particular causing descendant blocks
to be marked invalid, which are not currently fixed by the queue.
Instead, we'll use a different strategy: if the mainchain daemon isn't
sufficiently synced to validate a block, we will "stall" connecting that
block to the chain, and have ActivateBestChain simply keep the tip at the
previous block until we're ready.
We can still download and validate (partly) blocks past this point while
we're waiting. They will be connected once the parent chain daemon catches
up.
This forward-ports the new Taproot sighash but does not fix a couple
22-blocked TODOs related to the MissingDataBehavior enum. Should be fixed
in a followup commit.
One nontrivial change I had to make was feeding the genesis hash to SignTransaction
(the "global" one in script/sign.cpp) so that it could correctly compute
the sighash at signing time.

Pull request description:
Make `CChainState::m_mempool` optional by making it a pointer instead of a reference. This will allow a simplification to assumeutxo semantics (see https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/15606#pullrequestreview-692965905) and help facilitate the `-nomempool` option.

Since we now have multiple chainstate objects, only one of them is active at any given
time. An active chainstate has a mempool, but there's no point to others having one.
This change will simplify proposed assumeutxo semantics. See the discussion here:

This is part of the "UTXO Set Statistics" project in Core, which aims
to make things like "checking coin supply" faster. This stuff, and
related things in coinstats.cpp, have always been broken for Elements
in the sense that we consider only explicit outputs and we ignore
assets (so everything just gets added together to get a meaningless
total). It probably wouldn't be too hard to restrict this to only
consider policyAsset, but it's out of scope for a rebase IMO.
Also, I think this situation is fine .. I don't understand the motivation
for this or why Core is merging this when they refuse to merge an address
index .. but I guess we'll see if there are users who care about this data
and who care about it being meaningful on Elements.
Also, apologies for the big diff -- there were some mechanical changes
to deal with CT amounts, but most of the changes related to the difference
in how fees are accounted for. While I'm not thrilled with this PR, its
functional test is really good! So I think what I eventually came up with
is internally consistent.
Adds support for versionbits deployments to DeploymentEnabled,
DeploymentActiveAfter and DeploymentActiveAt. Also moves versionbitscache
from validation to deploymentstatus.
