We comment out a newly-added assert from the Bitcoin
side, because it's unclear how to replicate it
correctly in Elements.

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.

Pull request description:
Similarly to how #18698 added `ProcessNewBlock()` and `ProcessNewBlockHeaders()` methods to the `ChainstateManager` class, this PR adds a new `ProcessTransaction()` method. Code outside validation no longer calls `AcceptToMemoryPool()` directly, but calls through the higher-level `ProcessTransaction()` method. Advantages:
- The interface is simplified. Calling code no longer needs to know about the active chainstate or mempool object, since `AcceptToMemoryPool()` can only ever be called for the active chainstate, and that chainstate knows which mempool it's using. We can also remove the `bypass_limits` argument, since that can only be used internally in validation.
- responsibility for calling `CTxMemPool::check()` is removed from the callers, and run automatically by `ChainstateManager` every time `ProcessTransaction()` is called.

No change in behavior, because package transactions would not be going
through the rbf logic in PreChecks anyway (BIP125 is currently disabled
for package acceptance, see ATMPArgs).
We draw the line here because each individual transaction in package
validation still goes through all PreChecks. For example, checking that
one's own conflicts and dependencies are disjoint (a consensus check)
and individual transaction mempool ancestor/descendant limits.
The aliases are leftover from a previous MOVEONLY refactor - they are
unnecessary and removing them reduces the diff for splitting out mempool
Checks from PreChecks, making RBF variables MemPoolAccept-wide, etc.

CTxMemPool::check() will carry out internal consistency checks 1/n times,
where n is set by the `-checkmempool` configuration option. By default,
mempool consistency checks are disabled entirely on mainnet.
Therefore, this change has no effect on mainnet nodes running with
default configuration. It simply removes the responsibility to trigger
mempool consistency checks from net_processing.
This just calls through to AcceptToMemoryPool() internally, and is currently unused.
Also add a new transaction validation failure reason TX_NO_MEMPOOL to
indicate that there is no mempool.
"This logic is not necessary for memory pool transactions, as
AcceptToMemoryPool already refuses previously-known transaction ids
entirely." refers to the logic at
a206b0ea12/src/main.cpp (L484-L486),
which was later removed in commit 450cbb0944.
This is not only cleaner but also helps make sure we are always using
the virtual size measure that includes the sigop weight heuristic (which
is the vsize the mempool would return).
This bool was originally part of Workspace and was removed in #22539
when it was no longer needed in Finalize(). Re-introducing it because,
once again, multiple functions will need to know whether we're doing an
RBF. Member of MemPoolAccept so that we can use this to inform package
RBF in the future.
No change in behavior.
ATMPArgs can continue to have granular rules like switching BIP125
on/off while we create an interface for the different sets of rules for
single transactions vs multiple-testmempoolaccept vs package validation.
This is a cleaner interface than manually constructing the args, which
makes it easy to mix up ordering, use the wrong default, etc. It also
means we don't need to edit ATMP/single transaction validation code
every time we update ATMPArgs for package validation.

Pull request description:
Remove the txmempool <-> validation circular dependency by removing txmempool's dependency on validation. There are two functions in txmempool that need validation right now: `check()` and `removeForReorg()`. This PR removes the dependencies in `check()`.
This PR also improves the performance of `CTxMemPool::check()` by walking through the entries exactly once, in ascending ancestorcount order, which guarantees that we see parents before children.
